"I wrote "Universal Soldier" in the basement of The Purple Onion coffee house in Toronto in the early sixties. It's about individual responsibility for war and how the old feudal thinking kills us all. Donovan had a hit with it in 1965."
He's five feet two and he's six feet four
He fights with missiles and with spears
He's all of 31 and he's only 17
He's been a soldier for a thousand years
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain,
a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
and he knows he shouldn't kill
and he knows he always will
kill you for me my friend and me for you
And he's fighting for Canada,
he's fighting for France,
he's fighting for the USA,
and he's fighting for the Russians
and he's fighting for Japan,
and he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
And he's fighting for Democracy
and fighting for the Reds
He says it's for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide
who's to live and who's to die
and he never sees the writing on the walls
But without him how would Hitler have
condemned him at Dachau
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
He's the one who gives his body
as a weapon to a war
and without him all this killing can't go on
He's the universal soldier and he
really is to blame
His orders come from far away no more
They come from him, and you, and me
and brothers can't you see
this is not the way we put an end to war

How to argue with a Republican.
Call it a debate if you like, but next time you find
yourself matching wits with a dimwit, think of the following "interview". Carefully study the stratagy of Mr. Donahue, his poise and confidence...the way he ignors O'Reilly's masterful way of trying to split his head open and make him look bad, Phil just reintroduces the focal point and keeps everything on track. He's calm, cool, and even said "excuse me" durring Bill's hedge-hammering talk- over-the-guest aproach. Learn from the Master and don't look wimpy or fall into their traps ever again!

Violence.. is red.
Roses.. Are maroon.
Sugar is bleached
and the desert sky blue.
The cry for peace is deafening>
The bombadier is blind.
And the petals dry blackly
As Halliburton’s stocks all rise.
Violence.. is read.
Violets are free,
Honey is wholesome
from the legs of a tree.
The demand for justice is baking
On a back burning stove.
While our troops were lied to,
-Halliburton’s stock all rose.
Violence is read
in the papers and on the net.
Molasses is slow,
but quick to forget.
The weak mind loves
What the wise mind despises.
And the rose pedals dry blackly
as Halliburton’s stock rises.
