I don't pontificate, I don't talk down to people (although at 6'7" that's sometimes difficult). I know how I feel and hope others feel the same way.
I know that UK and US troops are fighting and being killed and injured because "The powers that be" think they are the policemen of the world just as happened back then.
Oh and things are happening. Not everyone is silent - give a listen to "Farewell To The Thief", the album by George Mann, Julius Margolin and friends (including the late, great Utah Phillips and indeed dedicated to him. I'm playing regular selections from this on my radio programme each week as well as Pete's "Bring 'Em Home"
Now I'm not some brave voice crying in the wilderness. I get playlists from Folk DJs from all over the world and this kind of song is getting lots of playing time.
Finally, there is a thing coming up in the US called an election and the way things are going here in the UK there's likely to be, at the very least, a change of leadership.

Meanwhile, I still find the song clip I included very moving and as to your comments - "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!"
