This piece echoes my own beliefs and feelings. I remember a time when the liberals had the ear of the public, especially the young. I watched some videos of Mary Travers that reminded me of that time. How did we lose the message.

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
Handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
And marches alone can't bring integration,
When human respect is disintegratin',
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
