I'm not offended at all. I'm just interested in the responses for one sentence I've written. I've had that before when I wrote that I had to laugh the whole time during an Andy Summers concert. I still don't see the offense in the sentence: The USA want to be a world POLICE. Sorry, but I don't. I think it's funny that I get such remarks as I did for a sentence that was just written to justify politics on a POLICE mailing list. Not that the content isn't true, as I see it. In the future I will put the meaning of my sentences in brackets after each paragraph or so. (no, I won't) I could mention lots of negative sides, but in general I want to keep this crap off this mailing list. I could explain myself in detail to anyone interested. (don't want to - really) And I've got nothing against America. Been there, liked it. Watch Hollywood movies all the time. My favourite mystery writer is American. My favourite film still is Schindler's List (that by the way is an American film about German past - just for the one who mentioned THAT topic). I don't know if I've written this before, but the German photographer Didi Zill will publish a POLICE book in the first half of 2004. The German publisher Schwarzkopf is well known for their high quality oversized books. Yes, they're expensive, but worth every Cent. Didi Zill photographed the band between the early Eberhard Schoener shows and 1983 about every time they were in Germany and on Montserrat. His last book about Deep Purple contained about 600 photos.
