praise and suggestion this is a great piece. it really illumines how our home, speech, and behaviors can help or hinder us. excellent!!! one suggestion: where you talk about rhythms…for the average reader, the sudden sentence about 'sold back to the devil etc'. may appear harsh. i don't know if it's constructive to describe james brown or lots of popular music that way. perhaps simply describing popular music in another way? harmful, 'lower nature', manipulating one's emotions and desires? i don't know how to say it. i just didn't want people to be 'turned off' to an otherwise very valuable article.
