Another powerful message Tree!!! The ironic of the situation of our World is really that the people who govern us with laws and rules are who have the more perverse inside. Because this we can see what happen all days. Talking about art, I admire your deep feelings and the way you transmite them.stephanie atlee 15 Apr 2006
