"How much oil is one human life worth & what happened to peace on earth?"

[WePurrsevere]

Although it's been around for a couple years I just ran across this and thought that sadly it's even more appropriate now.

Mp3 version of "What Ever Happened To Peace On Earth" by Willie Nelson

Lyrics...

There's so many things going on in the world
Babies dying
Mothers crying
How much oil is one human life worth
And what ever happened to peace on earth

We believe everything that they tell us
They're gonna' kill us
So we gotta' kill them first
But I remember a commandment
Thou shall not kill
How much is that soldier's life worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth


So I guess it's just
Do unto others before they do it to you
Let's just kill em' all and let God sort em' out
Is this what God wants us to do

(Repeat Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

Now you probably won't hear this on your radio
Probably not on your local TV
But if there's a time, and if you're ever so inclined
You can always hear it from me
How much is one picker's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

But don't confuse caring for weakness
You can't put that label on me
The truth is my weapon of mass protection
And I believe truth sets you free

(Bridge)
And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And whatever happened to peace on earth

3. Around Christmas in 2004, my LTTE got published

essentially, I said:

"So, 'Peace on Earth, good will toward men (or all), is now considered un-patriotic and un-American?"

13. When I first heard a RWer infer that crap I just about lost it... but it

a step sibling and we were at my parents so I bit my tongue... HARD. Later on my Dad and Step-mom talked... I discovered that they had biten their tongue as well... I never felt so close to them. B-)

14. I had heard of this but not heard it yet... even on pokey dial up it was

worth the wait.

"This time I want to smell the bull." :D Heck Burt, you don't need cowboys to get that. You can get a stronger "bull" stench just by standing downwind of Rove, Bush, etc. ;)
