Thank you, Shoren Heather, for sharing this powerful story. I have known you for many, many years, but the story of the smashing pumpkins incident was new to me. Coincidentally, I turned on the latest version of West Side Story last night but decided five minutes in to turn it off.

Hi Tina! I am glad you enjoyed the post. I wish that we'd made more progress by now! There's seems to be an endless amount of greed, hatred and delusion that still drives many powerful people's actions and speech. I hope that one day we will all experience how profoundly connected we are to each other, all beings, and every speck of dust and blade of glass. The new West Side Story was not that thrilling, IMHO. The actress who played Anita was phenomenal and I am glad she won and Oscar. And didn't even slap anyone. Imagine that :>)
