I often find myself listening to Coven’s antiwar anthem, One Tin Soldier that we featured in the Legend of Billy Jack. I really like the meaning of that song as it is so illustrative of the politics of hate practiced by both the left and the right of spectrum in America.

Pretending to be vitreous in treading on other people’s rights is a popular thing today. Too many people act like they are doing God’s work in politics, being the oppressor in their fight to raise up the oppressed even when they the oppressed have much more political power than they believe to have.

I think we should live and let live. Is it really necessary to look down at people who live differently than yourself? Now I get the different people can conflict and infringe on others rights but sometimes one needs to ignore the other in the common good.

As my flag says, “Don’t Tread on Me” and I won’t tread on you.
