huh, what? i thought this was about stepping? but hey, whateva...we could ALL learn a bit or two from each other...NO ONE is ALL KNOWING but the all knowing herself...so take a step down sometimes, listen, and then step back up...it does wonders for the soul...
i think that is wonderful that non-nphc orgs step...but don't do it if you really don't understand the meaning behind it...and the years of history that are recounted and celebrated through the act...i think that is what is offensive...you cannot claim that something is original to you just because you jazz it up a bit...that is like sampling portions of a song and claiming that you wrote the entire thing...once more...give credit where credit is due...
peace and blessings...
