Well we’ve just had a major victory for equal rights and a disappointing loss for civil rights. Our schizophrenic Supreme Court has descended once again. While the decision of DOMA and the defeat of Prop 8 is a victory, we also got a huge blow on voting rights. The enemy is out there, lurking behind every bad decision and policy.
It’s not time to rest, it’s not time lay down. We must continue to stand and fight for what is decent and right for all Americans, not just those who think they are privileged. We must keep marching to the refrains of We Shall Overcome. There is still a lot to overcome.

Leonard Cohen – Democracy
Fitting picks Kalima. I especially like “Can’t Turn Me Round.” I never heard it before.
Hi KT.
Just added one more. Leonard Cohen — “Democracy” which I think is a great song.
Glad I could contribute before my morning got too busy.
I’m glad you could too. Love to see participation on the music threads. I always learn of a few new songs.
You can’t go wrong with Leonard Cohen.
Me too KT and thanks for always doing it for everyone, much appreciated. See you later.Take care.
Oh before I forget, this is for you because you liked the other videos I posted of her. This is fitting too considering the SC ruling on voting rights the other day.

In all fairness to the people of Mississippi today, I know things have changed since this song was written, but there still lingers the shadow of hatred and discrimination. I know there are good people there too.
