‘Give Hate a Chance’

‘..I’m not kidding. At one of the memorials, I heard dozens of young people singing “Give Peace a Chance” together. They were also singing Top 40 ballads from the likes of John Legend. They smoked pot and took selfies and provided meaningless gifts to the dead like a Jim Morrison flag with the eyes painted black. Can we have just one hate crime, please? Can one skinhead throw a brick through one window? Can France take a break from pleading and singing and be irrational just for a day?..’         Takimag

    It would appear that most of the French have reacted just like the Americans did after 9/11 – the Tricolor national flag is being displayed everywhere, young Frenchmen are volunteering for the police and military in record numbers – and the French public wants PAYBACKS!

    I’m reminded of an old WW II war movie where the Americans were having their butts kicked royally by the Germans in France – the Yanks – what’s left of them – retreat to a farmhouse to make their last stand…Then all hell breaks close behind the Germans and they start to withdraw down the hill.

    Land Of Confusion

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YV4oYkIeGJc

    I must have dreamed a thousand dreams
    Been haunted by a million screams
    But I can hear the marching feet
    They’re moving into the street

    Now, did you read the news today?
    They say the danger has gone away
    But I can see the fire’s still alight
    They’re burning into the night

    There’s too many men, too many muslims
    Making too many problems
    And there’s not much love to go around
    Can’t you see this is a land of confusion?

    This is the world we live in
    And these are the hands we’re given
    Use them and let’s start trying
    To make it a place worth living in

    Oh, superman, where are you now?
    When everything’s gone wrong somehow?
    The men of steel, these men of power
    Are losing control by the hour

    This is the time, this is the place
    So we look for the future
    But there’s not much love to go around
    Tell me why this is a land of confusion

    This is the world we live in
    And these are the hands we’re given
    Use them and let’s start trying
    To make it a place worth living in

    I remember long ago
    When the sun was shining
    And all the stars were bright all through the night
    In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight
    So long ago

    I won’t be coming home tonight
    My generation will put it right
    We’re not just making promises
    That we know we’ll never keep

    There’s too many men, too many people
    Making too many problems
    And there’s not much love to go round
    Can’t you see this is a land of confusion?

    Now, this is the world we live in
    And these are the hands we’re given
    Use them and let’s start trying
    To make it a place worth fighting for

    This is the world we live in
    And these are the names we’re given
    Stand up and let’s start showing
    Just where our lives are going to

    It’s important to remember that Paris is not France.Out in the bergs the attitudes are different.
