170. Cronkite & Murrow Were Great Voices "For The People" & From My
generation I heard Dan Rather speak up loudly! Even though he's still around today, AND still working at his trade, THEY really put him on the back burner too!!

Bob Dylan wrote that song... "Blowin' In The Wind" and I say "when will they EVER learn" from the same song!

Actually Jackson Browne has written some fantastic political songs too, and I so wish we had more of that going on today! Jackson is probably my ALL time favorite!! But Dylan, Baez and people of that time wrote some very good stuff, and many were out there WITH us as we made our voices heard!!

Today, we have TEA-BAGGERS! I realize time does change, we can't go back, but for all that it's worth, we MUST HAVE EQUALITY in some way TODAY!! Where it will come from, or when it will begin for "we the people" seems yet to be seen!

There IS ANGER brewing, and I say we need to keep shouting out, NOT rolling OVER or following some Pied Piper!! I'm NO Rat, I'm a human being who CARES what happens to a once great country!

I'm climbing down from my podium now... enough for today!
