Very dreamy feel. Matter-of-fact vocal delivery. Effective.

Pretty powerful wee protest song ORH!  Great lyrics and presented as only you can.  Magic.

Scapegoating - rulers have played that card for thousands of years and we still buy it.  You'd think folks would wise up.

I'm never surprised by what the rulers and  media say; I'm constantly surprised what folks want to hear. 

It's hard to be a humanist in a jihadi world and I see the fervent right wing as just as much a jihad as the muslim extreme equivalent.  Economic violence is just as effective as physical violence.  Stealing people's economic hope and leaving them alive can be much more effective than killing them outright, tho one often leads to the other.  Blind austerity leads to extreme political views and behavior.  Greece may be leading the way.

Great song ORH!  Every bit helps.  DD
