August Index

An Official complaint is here addressed to the Board of Governors of the International Folk Song Wroters' Union and Directorship (IFSWUD):

¯é®

Facts:
1. On August 11, 1993, the People's Republic of China announced that some 400 mice in northwest China had rushed into the sea and drowned themselves.

2. To the best of this poster's knowledge, no song has yet been wrotten and published about this horrifying ecological tragedy.

Results:
3. To the best of this writer's knowledge, no international movement has arisen to deal with the aftermath and tragic consequences; nor any attempt to learn the causes of the disaster and to work towards ensuring that in the future such tragedies are averted.

Causes:
4. The world community of song wroters seems to have failed in its job as troubadour and/or protestor and/or exposer and/or recorder of vital events.

Proposed action:
5. IFSWUD should issue an immediate advisory to the entire membership that a selection of songs should be wrotten AT ONCE. It should be made clear that failure to comply might place the member's standing at risk.

Proposed sanctions.
6. If, after a reasonable period of time, such songs are not produced, the entire membership should be expelled from the Union.
