"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ”

Feel Good Friday returns yet again
Ok, so this is not a happy song, but I love it. Here's John Prine singing about "clean" coal:
What a great song by a great artist. I think the song is somewhat happy--talking about his good memories as a child, until the coal companies came.
My first band (Homespun) in El Paso (we were awful) used to play this song at La Cantina in the 70s, so the song brings back many good memories for me as well.
