The other day, p-bum and I were discussing affirmative action. P-bum assumed that given my progressive-slanted look at the world, that I supported affirmative action which I do not. The best man for the job, I say.
Yesterday, I was working in the back yard listening to my ipod. Between "Once You've Loved Somebody" by the Dixie Chicks, and "One" by Three Dog Night is "One" by Creed. This song from Creed's debut album has always been a favorite of mine. The subject of this Creed song is affirmative action, and their stance was that it did not work except to divide us as a people. I agreed then, as I do now.
"Society, blind by color
Why hold down one to raise another?
Discrimination, now on both sides
Seeds of hate blossom further
The world is headed for mutiny
When all we want is unity
We may rise and fall
But in the end, we'll meet our fate together."
Creed 1997
Thanks, p-bum.
