Multilanguages From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Sun 5 Aug 2001 20:29:59 -0400 ================================================ I hope that I am not forced to learn another language. I haven't even learned English yet. I guess that it is sort of a handicap to have to lwearn another language. Even though English was all that was taught in schools. Other than "Foreign language classes". It sounds like it isn't a foreign language now though. I think I heard something about S.California in lines with that also. Maybe they figure that the wages and pollution laws will be less challenging.

Just as food can be bad for your system, music can be bad for your spirtual and emotional feelings. It might taste good or clever, but in the long run, it's not going to do anything for you. -- Bob Dylan, "LA Times", September 5, 1984 To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
