I always like that religious song which asked "let us break bread together on our knees?". I think, though, that religious songs are of limited use, unless one is among one's co-religionists or fellow travelers with one's religion. Polls, on the other hand, have no east or west, south or north, but are one great fellowship of love throughout the whole wide earth. Shall we feel the love?
