"You can't have unity or even seriously think about it until the other side is invited to the party.

No they don't have to do it but if it turns out they never invited the other side well then.....called monopoly.....and it shows that they were not entirely fair with their out front statements about world peace unity, cultural understanding."


You continue to skirt reality and suggest a dream world wear everyone sings Kumbayah, flowers are always blooming, everyone is healthy, and the sun always shines.

No one in their right mind would expect an artist to implement to their art and forum as you are suggesting, the idea is that there should be multiple forums to allow all viewpoints to be shared. That my friend, is the reality everyone else is working for.

Your claim about their stance on what they should do to prove their belief in unity is about as sound as the line in Monty Python that "if she weighs less than a duck, she is not a witch."   

In every conflict there are two sides and the solution is both sides coming to resolution. Your methods for achieving resolution would only work if both sides operated under the same terms, but we both know that was not the reality. The Smothers Brothers and Seeger were trying to find a forum that was denied to them.   It also seems that you are in denial of that FACT as well, Conrad.

They do work toward reaching compromise and achieving the unity that you describe, but compromise does not equate to capitulation of the ideals for which they are fighting.

Sorry Conrad, you keep skirting around the issue and you are still refusing to answer questions posed to you. Rhetoric does not win arguements.
