I'm accused (by you, as I recall) of being overly wordy, but my excuse is that I don't like to be misunderstood, so I say the same thing in several ways.
I can't imagine that that was me. Plenty of things far more worthy of complaint. Besides, I kinda like wordiness. Anyhow, I can see your point now, and generally agree, if it's at the expense of discussing the real issues.
Nevertheless, I'll still fight from time to time for non-sloppy communication*, despite the obvious unfashionability, but for reasons of good manners, not "correctness."
*with appropriate dispensations for those with specific issues

Boink... you're quite right. 'Bein' Green' was the work of Joe Raposo -- who also wrote that pre-school tribal rave 'C is for Cookie'. :)
That's good enough for me.
But I also find Williams' songs often cheesy as all get out but strangely affecting.
Yep, a superb pop classicist ( Rainy Days and Mondays , I Won't Last a Day Without You , We've Only Just Begun .)

the wonder that is Paul Williams
You're talking about The Rainbow Connection , rather than Bein' Green , though, right?

Feelings that police are protecting their own, or are bowing to political pressure, are best avoided, but they should not be avoided by the "prosecute first, ask questions later" solution some seem to be proposing.
G.,
Regarding the first half of this, do you not think that the possibility of those things needs to be guarded against? Or am I (as so often) missing something?
