In the 1970s

.....which, as far as I'm concerned, comes under 'current affairs' and not 'history'; there was a pop group called The New Seekers.  They sang - 'I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony.'   A song of hope and peace, of universal love, trust and forgiveness, and strangers stopping to smile at one another in the street. It became an enormous hit, not just because the tune was so catchy but because the sentiment struck such a chord.





We wanted it then, we still secretly want it now. We might yet get it. But not by chasing rainbows indiscriminately.





Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we
look the other way.   (Martin Luther King)
