n amazing statement - who says the great quotes all come from the political intelligesia:

Another statement I have heard is "One man's Freedom Fighter is another man's Terrorist". The reality is that when one tries to attain freedom and equality and uses a gun or explosives to do it and then turns those methods loose on those not directly involved - then they simply become criminal and contra-indicative of their cause. As long-term friends who sereved in Vietnam have said to me in the past (I was Padre to the Vietnam Veterans MC in Australia for over 10 years) "If they TRULY believed in what they were fighting for and had the CXOURAGE and CONVICTION of their ideals: They would put on a uniform and do it legitimately. NOT hide a device and run away to set it off to kill and maim the innocent.

But to get back to the thread:

I just put these in another thread - probably the wrong one, now I reconsider - but the following ones always crack me up.

Mary Did You Know - Kenny Rodgers

And two I almost ALWAYS fast-forward through (unless I WANT a good cry) or turn off the radio:

Scraps of Paper - Eric Bogle

and the already-mentioned
