Bring The Boys Home, by Freda Payne, is the Peace Song of the Day for March 7th.

Excerpt from lyrics: “You marched them away — yes, you did — on ships and planes…to the senseless war, facing death in vain…”

In the old days, when people used the rhetorical “you” (as in the lines above), or “they” (such as “They are not fair”), critics would ask “Who are you talking about?” Now, we can articulate it. The bad “they” in our pacifist tirades, and the “you” in angry antiwar songs, are “The 1%”.

War is for the 1%. (Find a bumper sticker proclaiming that truth: here.)
