@utry2 "There's one worse thing than banning a song. And, that's making it official." Pete Seeger

A great message and condemnation of Social Darwinism and Eugenics. I beleive that everyone has value and that God can take even the smallest, meekest person and make them a hero. Don't listen to the fascists and tea baggers who want you to die. LIVE everyday and love this land and the God who made it.

I understand that Woody wrote this song partly because he disliked "God Bless America" which has become the battlecry in post 911 America.
Maybe Woody had something on the ball.

How ironic that Arlo sings a verse critical of the notion of private ownership, yet he now is a disciple of Libertarian Ron Paul.

the only thing that should be sorted by color or maker(god/deity), is your laundry

The true and incorrupible orgininal text, performed as Woody intended. Don't accept maudlin sanitized substitutes!

This is a moment that is so beautiful to be nearly indescribable. It really brings a tear to one's eye. I am not even American, and yet, this is what America is for me. it's truly sad that the Imperial warmongering and arrogance of those an power often tends of to outshine the critical patriotism of this generation. The 60's and 70's were a breathtaking triumph of the human spirit against the evil and corruption of this governing establishment.
this should be our national anthem.
