Thanks, McGrath.

And of course there's always this old stand-by too (not sure who wrote it, but it was recorded in 1969 by Canada's "Original Caste")

...Go ahead and hate your neighbour
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end

There won't be any trumpets blowin
Come the judgment day
On the bloody morning after
One Tin Soldier rides away



Hmmm, now I've got THIS old song running through my head too!

... now some folks they call me a cow'rd
Cause I left her at the drive-in that night
But I'd ruther have names thrown at me
Than fight for a thing that ain't right

I used to sleep at the foot of Ole Glory
And awake in the dawn's early light
But much to my surprise when I opened my eyes
I was a victim of The Great Compromise
