And as for this:

"Think of it this way: are you more worried about preserving the words to the song or about triggering events with offensive words? Are you more concerned about the property damage or the death of protesters?"

I'm sorry to say that your usual sane common sense took a day off when you typed this. First, I'm not at all worried. Why would I be. I'm passing comment in a thread on a folk music website and I've made it clear that I'm simply expressing an opinion about old songs, songs that have nothing to do with current events in your benighted country. There's no either/or, is there? Second, why would you ask me that final daft question, Maggie?
