I'll Never Believe That Americans Have Racticed In Our History Anything Close To The Purest Form Of Democracy Of The World. Because There Are Lots Of Democracies Around The World That Function Better Than Ours Does. It's Always Been That Way.

When You're Really Bummed Out, The Last Thing You Want To Hear Is Up-tempo And Positive. And It Lets You Know That You're Not Alone, That Somebody Has Hurt Before. It Works The Same Way With Chick Songs As It Does With Political Songs.

So You Don't Feel Like You're Crazy, And You Feel Like You Might Be Able To Make A Difference.
