Culled from a World Music Newsletter. Quite an appropriate advice,
applicable both on a local and a global level.

Subject: music softens manners

 Dear music lover,
 my mother use to say to me "La musique adoucit les moeurs" (Music
softens manners). Although it seems that in these sad times, mystery
writer Tonino
 Benacquista's take-off on it,  "La musique adoucit les meurtres" (Music
softens murders) is more appropriate, I still believe and actually am
more
 convinced that music is a gatherering agent and musical encounters are
way way ahead of leaders political meetings. Those leaders should go
home,
 listen to some music and the voices of their people for a change...
