"Nobody is treading on you."

"Don't read to me."

The U.S. Constitution was the result of compromise, a major one being no statement against slavery. The alternative would have disunion. The Constitution is not a static document; it can be amended.

It's TIME.

"For we come on the ship they call the Mayflower / We come on the ship that sailed the moon / We come in the age's most uncertain hour / And sing an American tune / But it's all right, it's all right, all right / You can't be forever blessed"
- Paul Simon, "American Tune"

I have not yet heard a cover of this song that I like as much as Paul Simon's versions.

"Oh, but it's all right, it's all right / For we've lived so well so long / Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on / I wonder what's gone wrong / I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong."

Paul Simon - "American Tune" for Til Further Notice 03/19/2020 (Paul Simon / Hans Leo Hassler (melody))

A verse of "This Land Is Your Land" by #WoodyGuthrie often left out by many:

"Was a big high wall there that tried to stop me. / A sign was painted, said `Private Property'. / But on the back side, it didn't say nothing. / That side was made for you and me."

Most Woody Guthrie recordings I've heard have the usual last line "This land was made for you and me" in this song.

"Now it's time to say good night / Good night, sleep tight / Now the sun turns out his light / Good night, sleep tight

Dream sweet dreams for me / Dream sweet dreams for you"
