You hate your neighbors, and arm yourselves against them to the teeth. You Trump followers hate others; you hate Mexicans and Muslims. And you justify it in the name of Heaven; without any doubt, it fits you! You guys lie and cheat, making sure that the rich get all the benefits in life and that most people suffer. That is your ideology; that's what you believe in. You support wars for profit, your side does. You support greed and the ideology that justifies and promotes it: trickle-down Reaganism. And your hero is Goldfinger himself; the Trump man who loves gold. And the treasure you guys want, that you think you have to fight and compete for, and protect with your guns, turns out to really be what we blue people in the mountain have been telling you all along. The ways of peace, not the bloody wars and guns and greed that you valley people want. You are the one in this exchange talking about fighting one on one; not me. WE share with our neighbors, and are willing to pay taxes to make sure it is done. You guys don't. You justify your stinginess by saying we blue people are stealing from you, but you are wrong. Doing your duty to others is not being stolen from. We know we can live in peace and love, and do it, and so don't need guns to protect us. YOU are the valley people, and the valley is the heartland between the Sierras and the Appalachians. That's YOU, pal.

All I can say is, thanks for the softball, Classic!





One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)
by Dennis Lambert & Brian Potter, performed by The Original Caste (1970)
This song was performed by Jinx Dawson and Coven in the movie "Billy Jack" (1971)

Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.
