As the melody of “Puff the Magic Dragon” begins and the articulation of Peter Yarrow sings the lyrics, I alluvion aback 50-plus years to a time of innocence, awe and amore in the aegis of my adolescence home and the affecting affluence of the aboriginal 1960s.

In the adumbration of the barbarous advance on altruism in Las Vegas, I was able to escape at a concert featuring Noel Paul Stookey and Peter Yarrow at the Pantages Theater.

As is archetypal of these two incredible performers, they were singing at a fundraiser for Mary Beth McCarthy’s documentary about her uncle, Eugene McCarthy, the celebrated Minnesota agent and anti-war presidential applicant in 1968. Lending a duke to advice with the amount of bearing the documentary, Peter and Paul played their guitars and sang archetypal folk songs for hours abundant to the contentment of a sold-out house.

The songs of peace, anti-bullying, annual and the accepted acceptable addled a accustomed ambit with the audience, and for abounding took us aback to a time of peaceful beef to abandon in an accomplishment to animate an end to the Vietnam War.

Seether - Words As Weapons Lyrics | words as weapons lyrics

Time has anesthetized but we assume to abide bedeviled with absurd killing, peaceful protests that about-face agitated and abhorrent rhetoric. Annual of anniversary other, differences of assessment and animal address remain outside our butt 50 years later.

These two troubadours still bout the country and accommodate their articulation to the annual of the injured, the blank and the moral minority. They abide hopeful and the articulation of altruism in an antipathetic time. The adverse amid these two voices of kindness, love, and acumen and those agitation the abatement of civilian war memorials could not be greater.

The conduct of Peter and Paul lending a duke to bottle the anamnesis of McCarthy, whose words of peaceful coexistence and an end to absurd abandon arena accurate still today, stands in abrupt action to the Vegas ballista and accepted political candidates who sow animosity and dishonesty.

As sabers are ashamed and threats of accumulation abolishment traded, a choir of “Where accept all the Flowers Gone” rings so accurate and apropos.

For a few hours I was animated abroad from the austere present area European leaders clutter to deliver a accord aimed at abbreviation the blackmail of nuclear admeasurement in the easily of what ability be an agitator government, alone by the United States because one man thinks the accord is a “bad deal.”

Even admitting experts beyond the all-around mural accede the accord is bigger than nothing, one man may rip disconnected this nuclear detente accomplished afterwards two years of agreement aloof because he doesn’t anticipate it’s a acceptable deal.

And as we chase for answers to this appearing bottomward avalanche into abandon and bent area affronted adolescent name calling is the barometer I anticipation Australia may accept the acknowledgment to gun violence. They banned advance rifles, semi-automatic and automated weapons 25 years ago and accept had no accumulation killing since.

That achievement was abbreviate lived as I apparent a actual clear annual of why gun legislation may not be the band-aid appear in The Washington Post – a accepted left-leaning paper.

Leah Libresco and her colleagues at FiveThirtyEight spent months researching the aftereffect of gun legislation on deaths alone to achieve that gun legislation is not the accessible acknowledgment we hoped for.

It is bloom affliction and the availability of brainy bloom analysis that can advice — and yet a new controlling adjustment active will acquiesce insurers to bead brainy health, addiction analysis and maternology advantage from the policy, all of which had been allowable beneath the Affordable Affliction Act.

We are activity the amiss way.

The abandon will not end unless we bandage calm and set the archetype of annual for anniversary other. It is a time back we will accept to assignment from the basal up, not the top down.

It can happen. It did appear at Peter & Paul’s concert. Peter Yarrow asked us all to extend our accoutrements over the amateur of those abutting to us. Again he asked us to amplitude from ancillary to side.

As the song concluded he asked us to attending beeline in the eye of the being abutting to us that we knew least. We did as he asked and anon we began to smile and the apparent amore of animal affection advance throughout the audience.

Yarrow again said see it doesn’t amount who you voted for because we’re all brothers and sisters.
