	Lu...	... chaque jour, et de plus en plus, le monde nous débecte et nous horrifie... L'Homme est fou, belliqueux, bestial, et d'une cruauté démesurée, ça vaut depuis la nuit des temps mais il est dingue de constater que les choses ne font que s'empirer... En prendre conscience et s'en offusquer et déjà formidable une preuve d'humanité... Tout le meilleur pour toi pour cette année...   Posted by Lu... on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 7:12 AM [Reply to this]

	sarah. ♥ Sarah Toole	I agree. Things happening in Kenya and a great number of other places in the World at the moment are horrible. It can make one feel so selfish for worrying about the little trivialities of their comparably luxurious lives. I cannot comprehend why the World is unable to GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. I'll probably never understand why people haven't taken the advice of John Lennon and others like him. Sometimes I feel as if it will never change too. But I hope it does. Best wishes for 2008 to you too SoKo!   Posted by sarah. ♥ on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 7:34 AM [Reply to this]

	magic tara. Tara Peters	It's weird to be so far from a kind of life where people are killing for no reason & people are dying for other's wrong doings. I just can't completely imagine what that might me like, & I don't think I'll ever be able to. We should all be so grateful, of the lives we are able to live & the people we are able to be.   Posted by magic tara. on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 10:12 AM [Reply to this]

	childproof T V	be happy you can buy a guitar & play music. elsewhere in the world they kill each other for no reason. there's no clear way to solve other people's problems. unfortunately, the introduction of western capitalism seems to be the most effective way to persuade people to stop fighting. why fight when you can choose between mcdonald's & BK? between death & a cheeseburger, i take the cheeseburger! right? social consciousness is important, but don't get political in your music. political music pretty much always sucks eggs because it's trite & contrived.

	emilski	It is horrible what is happening in Kenya. You try not to think about it, although not thinking about it makes you feel bad because we know we have a great life compared to theirs.

	Amelice	I don't think peace is that far away. It depends in what state/mood you are in. Sometimes I think this world is fucked up. Everyone destroys everything. But sometimes when I'm travelling with public transport (the best way to observe this life) I see love in the smile of a little child. I see peace in the eyes of an old man. It's not so far away.   Posted by Amelice on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 10:46 AM [Reply to this]

	Eric Win'	Human being still thinks as in the age of caves, in a hyper technological society ... That cannot give good performances... :o/ It is just necessary to stop continuing to accept a hierarchical society in pyramidal mode... coming from the old tribes... It is just necessary to stop believing, like small children, in Santa Claus, the Great Pumpkin, in all the gods invented by the man to force more to be able on the others, in the illusory promises of the "leaders" ( sigh ...), and other legends ... It is just necessary to change social behavior, and to apply "now and in real" the nice ideas that we emit , in theory... it is absolutely necessary to change our mode of consumption wich is a "no issue ", right now, before it's too late. It is just necessary to change social behavior, and to apply "now and in the reality" all the nice ideas that we emit, and to change 'actually " and more that only "into words " the mode of consumption in the " too" rich countries . It is simply necessary to spit on the neurotics addicts of the god ; money. It is simply necessary to give the hand, to open the eyes and its heart... and there, only there, one will give a very small chance to humanity to find a beginning of solution... Perhaps... PS: Soko, don't not feel guilty to think about a new guitar. :o) This guitar between your hands will be a tool which will fight against the injustice much more effectively than an army super-equipped . ;o)   Posted by Eric Win' on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 11:53 AM [Reply to this]

	Ventolines	coucou soko! Je suis étonnée de voir que les problèmes du monde peuvent encore intéresser des artistes français. C'est bien d'en parler. On en arrive tous là, un moment donné, à se poser bcp de questions...on se sent mal et après tout, cela fait de vous quelqu'un de sensible et bon, d'y penser...croyez-moi, peu y songe... On entend parler de guerres et d'atrocités, je les entend aussi (pour peu en dire, i am a war child) Et si cela ne touche encore personne, si cela ne fait que de répéter ce que l'on apprend en Histoire de 10h à 12h le mardi de toutes les semaines pendant une année scolaire, si cela ne fait que de survoler nos ptites têtes d'ecervelés, de conditionnés, d'habitués du mot "guerre"....alors il y en aura toujours - rares personnes - qui n'arrêteront pas de le susurrer, de le crier encore plus fort, toujours plus fort, sans se soucier de nos ptites zoreilles fragiles, ils le crieront rudement pour nous! Les années hippies sont pour ma part des années fascinantes...musique culture cinéma cela a tt révolutionné... Mais...est-ce que quelqu'un peut se permettre de dire aujourd'hui, de nos jours, qu'il est hippie? Pas vraiment, ce n'est plus une revendication, c'est un style, une mode aujourd'hui. Alors quel était leur secret à eux, hippies révoltés? C'était une autre génération, une autre époque, surtout une autre génération...je pense... Moi aussi j'en ai marre de ne pas pouvoir...marre de ne pas pouvoir...marre de ne pas avoir de pouvoir! ... Sur ce quelque chose de très spontanée, Bonne Année et surtout bonne santé SoKo :D keep smiling but without forgetting Mus.

	Pune	Everybody keeps saying "fighting for no reason". Usually, when people fight, they're fighting for SOME reason, however trivial it may be, sometimes. Some of the people in Kenya are fighting because they think the elections were dodgy and they want to have their proper right to chose who they want to lead their country. Others are fighting either because they reckon the elections WERE fair, or cause they think whether they were fair or not, they want to keep the current president in because they think he's been doing a damn good job so far and they think keeping him there will help them and their country prosper. People are actually fighting because they believe strongly in their convictions and because they can't see a non-violent way of solving things. I hope everything ends with minimal physical violence (maybe with international help), but I'm happy that these people, unlike some, are passionate about the wellbeing of their country, and people, and not apathetic.   Posted by Pune on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 9:59 AM [Reply to this]

	FLEX MODIFIER	oh dear...yes, I agree it's horrible. what really got me was the 50 or so people that were huddled together in a church and they burned those people up...the british did stuff like that to American colonists during our revolution...just horrid. I can empathize with you having a friend over there and you're not sure you'll see him again, my sister is over there on business and I worry about her and pray for her everyday. but look, don't give up hope. people sometimes change, just not very often. and all this kind of stuff can't be sung away. i wish it could, or be painted away, as i am a painter. i would paint the world's troubles purple and blow them like a wish at the sun, but i can't. people have to want to have peace. i think the folks in that church and the average kenyan do, but tell that to the rebels. peace and love.   Posted by FLEX MODIFIER on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 10:01 AM [Reply to this]

	URBAN NOMAD PICTURES	hey soko, just read your bulletin about your frustration what is happening all around the world. i know it sounds really cynical, but why are we always start to worry when topics make it to the headlines or to the movies. all those solidarity emails about burma, because some buddha monks had been beat down. well, who cried out loud during the past 20 years while the dictators there enslaved their people. since the end of world war II, there had not been a single day without war in this world and there had been by far more people killed than in both world wars together. some people in your comments asked: why killing for no reason? of course there is a reason: money and power. its not acceptable but thats the reason. and you cant really blame those folks in africa, because we just put our so called democracy on them like a yoke. they only do what they learnt form us. scotland yard just send inspectors to kenya to investigate the election. what the fuck are they doing there? why does the so called first world always think, it is responsible for world peace, of course they need to protect their investments. some societies are not made for democracy or peace. i give you cruel but true example. when british entered new zealand they imported and sold guns to all maori tribes. at that time the population of tribes had been approx. 120.000. 55.000 maoris had been killed in inter tribal warfare, after that. the anglo-maori civil war only caused 2810 deaths. so what can we do about all this madness. i guess nothing. even if you look at the peace movement and all that. it changed our society and attitude among us, but the peace movement did not stop the vietnam war. the yanks simply lost it. i know my opinion might be controversy and i am not writing this to change peoples minds, but maybe some will start to be a bit more objective of what is really going on. we should clean our own front yard first and it won´t matter if you will get a new guitar, so there is nothing you have to feel guilty about.   Posted by URBAN NOMAD PICTURES on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 3:14 PM [Reply to this]

	Lucila	It happens...it's sad...You're right, I feel the same you do. Football players earn millions of dollars, but there are billions of people in Africa who are dying because of human's selfishness. But as someone here said, Peace is not so far away.

	DKDENT	I know what you're feeling! Can't listen to the news anymore without feeling selfish and nauseous. Already what happened in Birma and in Pakistan made me cry. Leave alone what happens in Irak EVERY DAY! No, you can't carry the world misery, but I feel so strongly now that everything we do is political: who produced the clothes we are wearing, the iPods (THAT's a special story - I don't want one any more), the vegetables we're eating...

	David	Oui, j'étais stupéfait d'apprendre que 5 MILLIONS DE PERSONNES sont morts pendant cet holocauste centrafricain. Mon père était dans Dachau pendant 3 mois et vivre-il était un homme courageux et doux. Mais une autre atrocité est visitée sur monde-comme habituelle par le & des hommes ; les femmes souffrent plus-et il y a… silence. Ce monde peut casser votre & de coeur ; Je crains que je me développe habitué à l'horreur qui ne s'arrête jamais.
