Re: If I was silence instead of words
On 9/11 Michael posted a lovely poem - If I were a poem, not a man I'd be even shorter than what I am It seemed to me to be Michael's own response to his just having taken one small step in the direction of saving the world.

and who's the bald git in the black? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7609409.stm Isn't that just like Michael? Always looking out for the little guy!
