And what about "the only way for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing." For the longest time, I've not heard anyone deny or refuse the truth when it's laid down to them.

Again, I posted this thread about Jim Brickman plagiarizing a Filipino song written by Nelson del Castillo, yet, here we are discussing the merits of the truth regarding Lynman Bacolor. If you read his first post in this thread, he defended Jim merely because the latter apologized.

He (Lynman) posted a plagiarized riff in a public forum, it's only pertinent that it be exposed in a public forum. So, though I respect your opinion, I certainly did not intend for this thread to be about Lynman.

And sorry, Billy. I'm no fan of the "cast first stone" story, but I remember a joke about it. Let me relate a shortened version.

Jesus, intervening to stop the common folk from stoning a woman of character to death, said "whoever among you is without sin, cast the first stone."

A moment of silence, a relieved, Jesus relaxed. Just as he did, he glanced upon someone who picked up a stone, and felt the whizzing of it as the stone barely missed him, and landed smack on the woman's face.

Surprised, Jesus looked at the direction where the stone came from and exclaimed "MOTHER!"

God has nothing to do with this issue. Certainly, god didn't urge Jim Brickman, whose has inspirational if not gospel songs under his belt, to commit plagiarism now, did it?



And neither is a degree in medicine, which, Lynman ALWAYS manages to remind us all each and every time his 'expertise" come in question...
