Wonderful post, Marcus.   <<How can such a message, and its inherent thrust towards putting people first, cleaning up the air and the rivers and the oceans, having equality among all peoples of the world...how can that message go unrecognized by conservatives who like The Beatles?>>   "It's got a good beat, you can dance to it, I give it a 10."  Many people don't listen to the words; others do but don't think about them.  Still others nod their heads in agreement but have no self awareness whatsoever and assume the lyrics are talking about everybody else.  It never ceases to amaze me.   <<And if they do recognize it, how do they rationalize the obvious dichotomy within themselves?>>   I'm not so sure they run that deep.   Lenny
