KoSong: Cruel War - Peter, Paul and Mary (Travers)

How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no

responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Cruel War - Peter, Paul and Mary (Travers)

It is strange how we are reminded of certain years of our lives with the passing of a well known singer. To be honest, I first got to know of the group, Peter Paul & Mary through their song, Cruel War in 1969. Memories of the war in Vietnam and so on. I used to strum and sing this song to my kids because of the easy to be remembered chords and lyrics. Actually, I did not even know the full names of each individual member!

I have searched for the song in Youtube and the link below, is the closest I can find to fit my version (key of G), in fact, I could almost strum and sing along with this clip.
