: Do you think that perhaps fifty or a hundred years from now, a new generation of Assyrians will by then have shed much of the false celebrity and self-indulgent behavior that you have so aptly described?

***I hope so...it´s what I worked for for 20 years...it´s what they fought against...

John Nimrod's generation, after all, is rapidly receding now and I, for one, believe that your work deserve's to receive the artistic recognition and appreciation it is due. If this sounds patronizing, it is not meant to be, because I sincerely believe, that things as they are now, will not remain so indefinitely.

***Not patronizing at all...I appreciate the good words. I always said I was just barely "good enough"...never grat, never even an artist. That wasn´t the point. I didn´t set out to break any new artistic ground...I just believed there was a crying hunger, not even recognized a such...just a dull ache in the void where our pride could be. But even that was too much of a threat.

: I may be wrong, but the defects within our communities, during the last hundred years, may have been influenced more than we realize by by defects in the general population and destabilizing events that have taken place in American society during that time period.

***I don´t think so. I still maintain that we don´t recognize what it means to a people whose greatest achievements came at a time when they didn´t follow a Jew religion but their own. There are lots of religions and gods...and there´s a reason we developed ours and not Buddhas or Moses´. If we want to now claim that Christianity, or Islam, is our REAL and TRUE and ONLy religion and if we react with fright and shock at the idea of abandoning them...then imagine what happened to us that convinced us to abandon Ashur? Or is the point supposed to be that Ashur wasn´t worth the fffort...but JESUS...now THERE is a religion!

: I hope that you will not destroy your work. I hope that you will at least give more time to reconsider the possibilities that lie ahead, when there will be no more opposition to your original plans.

***No...I´m convinced this is the best way...like the Phoenix, maybe something will rise from the ashes.
