>>I would like to send you an early Dylan CD. It remains a classic of the folk-rock genre, his most overtly political protest album. Not with the idea of changing your views, just an olive branch.

>>You may not believe it, but I probably already have it. Back in my high school and college years, I was probably more liberal than you are. It reminds me of something that the late great Winston Churchill once said:

>(Many years ago the National Lampoon had a hilarious take on famous Churchillisms, rephrasing them in the foulest language possible. If you turn your foul language imagination all the way to 11 you can probably get pretty close).
