It isn't nice to block the doorway It isn't nice to go to jail There are nicer ways to do it But the nice ways always fail It isn't nice, it isn't nice You told us once, you told us twice But if that is Freedom's price We don't mind. It isn't nice to carry banners Or to sit in on the floor Or to shout our cry of Freedom At the hotel and the store It isn't nice, it isn't nice You told us once, you told us twice But if that is Freedom's price We don't mind. We have tried negotiations And the three-man picket line, Mr. Charlie didn't see us And he might as well be blind. Now our new ways aren't nice When we deal with men of ice, But if that is Freedom's price We don't mind. How about those years of lynchings And the shot in Evers' back? Did you say it wasn't proper Did you stand out on the track? You were quiet just like mice Now you say we aren't nice But if that is Freedom's price We don't mind It isn't nice to block the doorway by Malvina Reynolds

Interesting comments from someone who used to be in the U.S. Foreign Service... Message 21498652 <<...having served for many years in the U.S. Foreign Service, and having worked overseas in developing countries, including Indonesia, Turkey, and Tunisia, and having also worked hand in hand with CIA personnel overseas, I know a few things about development, economics, and national security. In my day, if I had done some of the things being done now by top ranking administration officials, I would have been fired on the spot. Security is more than just a strong military and a strong economy. It has to do with how the U.S. interacts with the rest of the world. It also requires personnel with a great deal of skill, not just ideologues...>>
