A LITTLE WARNING!
IT'S BEEN A LONGTIME SINCE I POSTED A SONG THAT MADE ME CRY LIKE A BABY. UNLESS YOU HAVE A STRONG HEART; I WOULD ADVISE YOU PLEASE DO NOT TO PLAY THE NEXT SONG. IT WILL SPOIL YOUR DAY.
As a young soldier I was at the top of my class, and learned how to kill most proficiently. Oh my, how things have changed. All I was looking for was a song from my youth, not a bloody reminder that war is really Hell. I wish I could make it all go away, and pretend I never saw it, but because of my love for all life. I feel so very obligated to make a stand. My fear is that only a revolution can save and restore this country.
Not my WAR!

They Thought They Were Free
The Germans, 1933-45
Excerpt from pages 166-73 of "They Thought They Were Free" First published in 1955
By Milton Mayer
But Then It Was Too Late
"What no one seemed to notice," said a colleague of mine, a philologist, "was the ever widening gap, after 1933, between the government and the people. Just think how very wide this gap was to begin with, here in Germany. And it became always wider. You know, it doesn’t make people close to their government to be told that this is a people’s government, a true democracy, or to be enrolled in civilian defense, or even to vote. All this has little, really nothing, to do with knowing one is governing.
"What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it.
I hope you have the time to read the full excerpt, as can be attested by the Reichsmarschall. Sometimes the dead can speak more clearly than the living.
Why, of course the people don't want war ... but, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament or a communist dictatorship ... voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

It Can't Happen Here
by Richard L. Clinton in The Oregonian
Two old friends of mine -- a Jewish couple in their 80s, both retired university professors who fled Nazi Germany in the late 1930s and eventually became U.S. citizens -- made a stunning remark to me a few months ago: "You know, all our lives we have blamed our parents and our parents' generation for allowing Hitler to gain control. Now we're beginning to see how powerless they must have felt to stop what was happening all around them."

JPFO ALERT: WHY DO GOOD MEN DO NOTHING?
It is said that all that is necessary for evil to succeed
is that good men do nothing. This begs the question of WHY
good men do nothing in the face of evil.
Find out with our latest article, "Why Do Good Men Do
Nothing?", available at http://www.wendymcelroy.com/print.php?news.1524 . In it,
noted author Wendy McElroy dissects the psychology and
motivation of those people who simply accept increasingly
oppressive infringements in their daily life rather than
fighting against them.
After reading "Why Good Men Do Nothing", please take a
moment to read about our newest project, "The Gang" at
http://www.jpfo.org/ . This faceless, brutal,
unaccountable agency exemplifies the evil that many of us
have accepted for far too long. And it's time we stopped
doing "nothing" about it.

Summer's Song
Spring is in the air, but you can already hear the anthems heralding the approaching deflowering coronation of Aestas; the nubile Goddess of Summer. Although her life is often torrid, it is also a mercifully short one, enabling most of us to still love her, even after she hits middle age, and her days begin to become extremely hot and sultry.
There would be no life without Summer, as all of nature greedily feeds from her ample breast. Indeed we all partake of her life giving passion, or perish. A little heat is good for the soul, the world will sorely miss her warm caress in the upcoming Ice Age.
Let's see how many Summer related songs we can come up with.
Here a just a few to start us out with. I will keep adding more as we head toward our rendezvous with the ardent lady we know so well.
Caren, here is your boy, Bon Jovi - Summer Time
These next few have been Summer standards for almost as long as I can remember.
Hot Fun In The Summertime.
Eric Burdon & War - Spill The Wine
IN THE SUMMER TIME/MUNGO JERRY.
And I love this one! Warm San Francisco Night by The Animals
First Class ~ Beach Baby
Brian Hyland - Sealed with a kiss 1962
The Who - Summertime Blues
Jamies - Summertime Summertime!
"Summer In the City" - Lovin' Spoonful
Summer Wine - Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood
Jaded said...
Don Henley - The Boys of Summer.
"One of my favorites".
Thanks Jade, that is a good one!
"Night Moves"- Bob Segar
I'm posting a lot of these songs from a very limited industrial computer, here in the security office; it makes no sound at all. So no doubt from time to time, there will be a few duds for me to fix whenever I get home.
I hope this next Summer song is a good one.
