I don't know which is more correct, or if they are both wrong.
My thinking is that they are both right. The problem is that it depends on the individual viewing/playing them. I would think that the percentage of those who would have the urge fueled, that were not already on that track would be very small. But if you are the victim, even one person is too many.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
