Damn!

What truth to power! there.

Thanks much.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

No, thank-you. Glad you liked it, that came off "Swiss Movement", one of the first Jazz albums I ever bought and it's still one of my favorites.

As for "truth to power", perhaps you'll like this, as well.

“I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those who do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice, and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. I believe that there will be that kind of clash, but I don’t think it will be based on the color of the skin…” -Malcolm X
