My apologies. OT-was bridge pins

[David Love]

The implication that it is the US and its allies that are responsible for
all or most repression and denial of human rights in the world is misguided
and misinformed.  Some of the most repressive governments historically and
recently have nothing to do with US policy making or hegemony.  The US
certainly has played a role in the support of some repressive regimes, but
the problem is infinitely more complicated and multifaceted than can be
solved by adopting an attitude of just treat everyone with respect and
dignity all will be well or turn the other cheek.  Simple minds (and I don't
mean yours Gordon) seek simple solutions.  May I offer this:

Black or White

Wouldn't it be nice
If the world was black or white
If this was always wrong
And that was always right

We wouldn't have to think, no
We could just go on our way
Knowing that the rules
Would never change from day to day

Wouldn't it be nice
If our simple little minds
Had only to consider
Who is mean or who is kind

We could avoid all those complexities
That really make us frown
And taxes our gray matter
And turns us all around

Wouldn't it be easy
If it were only rain or shine
And taking our umbrellas
Was just a matter of design

We could judge all other people
They are bad, or they are good
No room here for compromise
Behave just as you should

But could we hokey pokey
Though the "in" precedes the "out"
But where turning yourself all around
Is what it's all about.

David Love

One never knows if one doesn't even try.
