Call It Democracy by Bruce Cockburn
The song brings feelings of sadness and anger, as it did when I first heard it in 1985. The powerful message still resonates forty years. As with Carney's recent speech, it takes a Canadian to call out the US for their actions.

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's gettin' more and more absurd

'How can I help it?' he blubbered. 'How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.
Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.'
George Orwell, 1984

Robbing the File Store
Get some wood rasps, but especially lots of rat-tail files. They're better for the job. And grab some wrecking bars, and oil. They'll think we're after the oil, but we just want those files. Smash the place up good. And hurry up, I'm feeling like my time is near.
