OT...just thought I'd mention...
When performing mundane chores I listen to lectures, audio books or music. Fascinated with a link to a beta playback-music by the decades site, I came across this song which most will recognize, but I can't help but wonder how many recognize the socialist lyrics (1947):
Woodie Guthrie: This Land is Your Land
The last three verses:
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
I never paid attention. I did know, however, that Woody Guthrie is a Socialist.
There was a very good movie about him called Bound for Glory. During the Depression, unfortunately, there were some good reasons for the people of the USA to reach for the crutch of Socialism, and people like Woody Guthrie worked for the Unionization of America, making them, forever, heroes.
We who do not believe in Socialism can not change the past. It's not a battle I'm going to fight, anyway.
Not my intention to fight the past...but hearing the lyrics were an eye opener for me. However, those last 3 verses sound like the current uni-party congressional anthem.
Heh.
Yeah, that's true.
