Dave, you may not listen to as much oldies rock and roll on the radio as
some of the rest of us do, but just now driving home I had a revelation:
perfectly ordinary station, perfectly ordinary night, and the next song
was Cat Stevens singing "Peace Train". I laughed aloud at the thought
that the unintended consequence of this particular bit of nonsense is
that
the Department of Homeland Security has now created the anthem of the
opposition movement. Nobody will be able to hear that song, and
especially not Stevens singing it, without thinking of it in a new way.
Will this make us more secure or less?
