A Theme Song For Our Times - Written in 1964

The Times They Are A Changin' - Bob Dylan, 1964

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway


Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside

And it is ragin'.

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin'.



Between Gonzogate and articles like:

9 officers cited for mishandling Tillman's death

"A Pentagon investigation has found that nine officers, including as many as four generals, were at fault for the bungled aftermath of the friendly-fire killing of former football star and Army Ranger Pat Tillman in 2004, according to news reports Friday evening."


I'm finally beginning to muster a little optimism that positive change is on the way. Let us all hope that it continues. The Tillman story hopefully provides some measure of satisfaction to a family that faced the pain of losing their son and sibling and then were made fools of.
