I'd Like To Think That

We Have Laws To Deal With People Who Defame Other People's Religion. We Have Laws To Deal With People Who Try To Blow Up Our Citizens. We Have Due Process. We Have Laws To Deal With People Who We Capture During Combat And War, But Somehow Guantanamo Bay Seems To Be Outside All That. And Perhaps It's Being Maintained With The View To What People Are Talking About Now, This Idea Of The "long War," That This Is Going To Go On And On, And Perhaps Iran Is Going To Be Next.

My Theory Is This; I'm Not A Political Songwriter. I'm An Honest Songwriter.

All The Great Political Music Was Made At The Height Of Political Confrontations.

Baptists Burn More Slowly.

At Some Point In Your Life You Have To Engage With The Fact That You Are Part Of A Society. Yeah The Individual Is The Most Important Facet In Society But Unless Every Individual Is The Recipient Of Free Health Care, Free Education Decent Affordable Housing And A Proper Pension Then Only The Rich And Powerful Will Be Individuals And The Rest Of Us Will Be Exploited By Them.
