gapcohen makes an excellent point...
...the Native Americans were not the non-violent, feather wearing, hippies that modern mythology has made them out to be. That being said, I love this post and agree with it's sentiments.

In the hospital where I work the pastoral people tend to play Imagine in the middle of their religious ceremonies which always leaves me wondering if they're being self-deprecatingly post-mod or just a playing loose in the neural processing department. Great reflections CL and a rather cool picture too.

I didn't know just how wise Lennon was until I got close to be his age when he died (40). Now, I think of him often (Yoko has a great Lennon website) and find myself wondering what he might have achieved had he lived. Great post.......as usual.

Hey Cunning
As um-granola as that all sounds, and as idyllic as The First Dead Beatle makes it sound, even our very own, land-loving Native Americans led scalping parties and fought and killed over if not their possessions and land then their honor/tribe/squaws - pick one. Violence does not always stem from national pride or religion. It is, unfortunately, pretty age-old.
