Hi peaceful people, For all of you who can't get into the blind patriotism of July 4th and the wars it causes, my cover of the many covered song "Imagine": http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12845039 Some relevant quotes: Ben Franklin-"there has never been a good war or a bad peace". Thomas Jefferson-"when the people fear the government, there is tyranny-when the government fears the people, there is liberty". British philosopher Samuel Johnson, 1775-"patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". let's all celebrate freedom from war and social injustice- the real freedom, Michael Borkson Boston, Mass.(the birthplace of the revolution)
