I paid a great deal of attention to what Joan Baez and Ira Sandperl had to say back in the 60's and 70's, and have followed it since by personally doing violence to no one, and speaking out against wars of aggression. Many other people paid attention too.

The trouble is that the people who get elected to high office, and those who back them have a different view of things. Coporations don't care who dies, as long as the profits roll in and the public support of their political stooges (the ReDemocrapublicants) does not collapse entirely.

I still sing many of the peace songs from that time. I also vote for people I truly believe in...when I can find anyone like that to vote for on the ballot.
