JOHN BLASINGAME: You can fight. In fact, you've got a duty to fight. There's some words to a song that get right to the heart of this.
(SINGING) You law abiding citizens, listen to this song. Laws were made by people and people can be wrong. Once unions were against the law, but slavery was fine. Women were denied the vote and children worked the mines. The more you study history, the less you can deny it. A rotten law stays on the books 'til folks with guts defy it.
And that's right at the heart of the matter. We defy the bad ones and we fight for the good ones. And that's what we're about.
Well worth watching... so much sound advice for so many... 'truth's got bored and headed off to the pub' - classic.
