Restless,I'm a registered Democrat but that doesn't mean I look down my nose at others just because their opinions are different than mine. I don't know if you have kids Restless but what if they decided to vote or think "left" when they grew up? You going to stop talking to them? Disown them? Force them to think "your" way?

You know,saying you'd "chuck" all of GL's music if he came out with a leftist opinion makes you a hypocrite. In case you hadn't noticed,even though he's from Canada,his songs could be thought of already to the so called "left". He sings about nature(environmental issue)/the indifference or cruelty of people (human rights or relations)/he sings songs children can relate to "If Children Had Wings" (hope for a peaceful future for them)/"Protocol" "Drink Yer Glasses Empty" (Anti-War?) Dang!!

Sounds quite leftist to me!!!

You better toss....no!..Burn your LP's CD's Cassettes or whatever! NOW!!!!

Hmmm,burning things that include someone's freedom to express themselves,remind you,Restless,of a German dictator from a little over 60 years ago? Nein?

Believe it or not,I used to be a Republican but I was younger then and thought they had a better idea what they were doing. I've come to realize that no one has all the answers and anyone who works in high Government,no mattter how well educated or experienced (or lack thereof),can only do what we all do everyday,the best possible job they can.

One last thing,no one in this country or the world has all the answers. Wheather as individuals or as part of some group that believes they do. Life is way too short to worry about right thinking or thinking left. What we need to worry about is the simple common sense thinking,that is,right or wrong!
...and let me ask you,are you on this site because you like Gordon Lightfoot or is just an excuse you use to rub people the wrong way? Because you seem to be doing a lot of that lately. Been me,I'm out!

(Vote your concience but vote educated!)
