Genuine black humour might be shocking but it isn't callous, and I don't think it knows any limits for subject-matter. It should be able to handle either of those two subjects, but not if it's only made of sneers and recycled prejudices, it has to add something worthwhile. It takes some art perhaps, or maybe just a healthy spirit, or a fully grown one anyway. I see this piece was written in February 2005 by someone called Paul Forcey. I'd say he has a long way to go. Or maybe you can't start from there. Good luck to him anyway. Best Keith Oh well, it's nothing I would forward on, no matter how many times I receive it. Doug, N0LKK Kansas USA inc.
