Re: the weirdest spam I ever got



Didn't remember that one. Pretty sharp.

tml

"We Didn't Start the Fire" is a song about blame and about victims. A song
about problems brought on by a society's lack of concern for the rights of
their fellow man. A song about a society's cultural icons. A song about a
country, the United States, and the roles it and its people have played in
world for the last 50 years. Billy Joel wrote this song to remind his peers
that yes, this country has problems, but that they weren't the cause. He
wanted to tell a society's younger generation that it's okay to want to fix
these problems, but no-one, especially those who did cause the problems,
could expect them to fix them all in day; they weren't the ones who gathered
the kindling; they weren't the ones who struck the match, they weren't the
ones who started the fire...
