15. And an old verse:

Gonna lay down my burdens
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my burdens
Down by the riverside

Every once in a while we all have to lay down our burdens
Down by the riverside
ans sing the songs that heal the soul and bind us together in the struggle.
Thanks so much for the sing-a-thon. I am feeling a bit renewed.

17. Welcome to the 700 club!

:hi:

[smokey nj]

18. Thanks, mom cat!!!!!

Pat Robertson's not here, is he?

[mom cat]

22. No dear heart! The 700 club is the designation of those who have reached

the level of 700 posts on DU. :hi:

No Pat, just a spoof on him and a reclamation of a nice number from the clutches of those who do not appreciate math or science.

19. all this warring and fighting

and none of it makes any sense. So many innocent people suffer. It's insane. War means nothing but destruction and loss. We have to get beyond this stupidity, this primitive instinct. It is so depressing to watch these reports coming out of the Middle East, and depressing to know how deep is our own country's involvement.

Ain't gonna study war no more...:(

[Voltaire99]

20. Ain't gonna study or vote for war no more.

That includes not voting for DLC warrior libs, too.

I've been singing this song all week. Love when I come across it on DU at unexpected times like this.

When we will ever learn. Thanks,OBN.
