I admire this country and this system for letting people change, follow change, and define the direction of change they want to see. There is one step before change which is more important that change itself. That's having a social platform that let you view and observe different perspectives. Although in this country media, most of the time, control that platform to some way or the other but you are free to decide what you want to hear, see and decide based upon. Change is the baby of such a society. In our country, Iran, there is not such a platform, nor willingness to have that. We are so scared of committing sins and going to hell that we would rather stick tight to what the previous generation thought us. I love change, I advocate that and I stand for it. <strong>Dear Banafsheh, Thanks for your comment, please feel free to write on this blog as guest writer, I always enjoy your approach to problems.

In fact at one of Billie Holiday's shows, a white fan yells out and says: sing that "sexy fruit song". Sometimes ago I heard on NPR that when this song came out, not every one knew what it was about.
