A tad trite... But John Lennon's lyrics for Revolution should be heeded....

[WCGreen]

Starting at the second verse....

You say you got a real solution, well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution, well you know
We're all doing what we can...

But if you want money for minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be...

You say you'll change the constitution, well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution, well you know
You better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow...
Don't you know it's gonna be...


So this is Christmas....
And what have you done...

4. It's a Beatles Song, but I'm just plugging my candidate. Actually, the lyrics warn...

... about self-righteous indignation and taking extreme views. I think that applies.

3. Great song but...

if I am asked to take it as serious political commentary I have to point out that freeing one's mind may not be enough. People shape their institution (free your mind) but institutions also shape people. Survival is a powerful force and sometime the shape of institutions can make certain behaviors more likely to ensure one's survival.

5. The lines I think are truly pertinent...

are the first two I selected...
