Conrad, I will not apologize for my intolerance of stupid ideas and needless "red-baiting".
We can agree, however, to disagree as person to person. I don't think "tolerance" is a be-all or end-all to world peace. I don't tolerate fascism, cruelty, violence, prejudice or those who find it necessary to "beat their drum" in expressing their ideas.

People sing songs for different reasons. What must be "gotten over" is the idea that
there is a monolithic way of viewing these reasons.

I like to sing songs that carry positive messages of peace, love and justice because
they are important to me.

A simplistic analysis of Pete's contribution to the music world is not to be tolerated
for any reason.
