Nice theme and execution
Cool. Jim Boggia has another song that is appropriate for this discourse -- "Three Weeks Shy", one of the best (and only) modern anti-war songs from his new album Misadventurs in Stereo.
I don't think I've posted here before, but I'm an admirer! This is really excellent (must say I like the inclusion of "Fight the Power") - great work all. Happy voting :)
