Given the present state of our world and our present involvement in war this selection is timely. It serves to remind us that we as a global community are truely one people. War and hate needs a foundation in intolerance and the McCutcheon piece deftly incorporates the lyrical score with the mythology surrounding the event desribed in the song bringing the listener face-to-face with the spirit of acceptance of ones "enemy" as neighbor. In this day of yellow ribbons rightfully supporting our troops in the cause of battle there needs to be the ribbon saying "love your neighbor". This selection serves as this reminder.
