One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)

 

Go ahead and hate your neighbor

Go ahead and cheat a friend

Do it in the name of Heaven

You can justify it in the end

There won't be any trumpets blowing

Come the judgment day

On the bloody morning after

One tin soldier rides away

What a couple of great signs to wake up to this morning! ... Would be nice if at least changed one person's viewpoint. :)

Of course Jesus wouldn't/doesn't discrimate: we're ALL big time THUGS equal under the sun. What a colorful groooovy banner, peace amiga!
Lifequest22 said at 1:20 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Thanks Dar, Marty, Deb and Amiga. Unfortunately, some people just don't get it.
AliDar said at 1:26 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
I know, and for the life of me, I just don't understand why not.
Leftofcenter said at 1:31 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
see, this is when I miss LatentE cause he would have a lengthy explanation...
Lifequest22 said at 1:35 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Yeah--we need latentE back. Our voice of reason and intellect.

I added some lyrics.
JuDeck said at 1:35 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
What a great 2-fer Linda...love these signs...and Deb, you're one heck of an understanding person to write what you did. It's people who discriminate and can't accept the simple view of equality is for everyone. Good one Linda!

Social Equaiity and Non Violence......Very Powerful Ideologies that can Change the World if practised Universally!....Beautiful tabblo!
AliDar said at 1:40 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Love that song!

Wonderful, Linda!
Lifequest22 said at 1:54 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Thanks for adding your comments Jude, Kim and Den. DAR, I was trying to remember that song the other day and was hearing bits and pieces in my head, but I couldn't come up with the song till this afternoon. The lyrics say a lot, don't they.

Problem with peace, unity & equality is, that the war mongers that run the show think that they are more equal than anyone else. Non-violent reprisal against those who spend tax dollars to feed a voracious war machine, doesn't change the hearts and minds of the minority that rig the wheel. The meek do not inherit the earth or anything else, they just get predated on. Change must come by way of People-Power....if ever enough people can be persuaded to look further than the end of their nose.
Ira said at 2:46 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Perfect Tabblo! We here have left problems of nations and politics. We the friends. To like each other so it is simple. Hatred and enmity are always pernicious for all people. The peace is more important than all in the world. The life is more important only.
DocEna said at 4:35 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Strong words and true ones at that...the challenge remais the same eons after eons of senseless discussions and millions of deaths...but I love and hope for peace and for better days for mankind...take care.

If only everyone did believe in those words! Unfortunately, actions speak louder.
Debdog said at 8:04 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
i like the addition of the lyrics Linda :)
Lifequest22 said at 8:13 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Thanks, Deb.

The sad part is how can we have world peace when so many can't even get along with their own families, friends, neighbors.

Mike, Ira, Doc, Cindy--Thanks for your comments.

One tin soldier runs away!!!!!
AliDar said at 9:12 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Too many people expecting everyone to be just like them, I guess....
Andre. said at 9:45 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
That would look cool in Propaganda
Lifequest22 said at 10:04 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Stepford Wives.
Lifequest22 said at 10:32 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Thanks, Andre. Seeing that i'm a member of the Propaganda group, I most definitely will add.
Maz2001 said at 10:38 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Very telling tabblo. I saw the Billy Jack movies and remember the song. Thank you for the reminder.
Andre. said at 10:40 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Thank you
Lifequest22 said at 10:41 p.m. on Jul 22, 2008:
Jane, yes, it was an excellent movie. Thanks.
Gerardfotografeert said at 5:19 a.m. on Jul 23, 2008:
Very nice Linda, great job.
Pkeener said at 8:30 a.m. on Jul 23, 2008:
I always loved that song, but the movie was so freakin weird. I could never keep up with the plot, but the message was loud and clear. This is a KILLER tabblo, Meegs. The colors are perfect!!! HEY! I see Jesus has a website now. Great captures, Linda. I love the first banner with the peace signs on their chests..You have the best photojournalistic sensibility. That's what I like about your tabblos. Reporting what you see in the world around you, with images. And that's the way is is...
Candlepower said at 2:03 p.m. on Jul 23, 2008:
Good One and so true!
Lifequest22 said at 9:22 p.m. on Jul 23, 2008:
thanks Gerard. Pat. yeah, ain't that the Truth. :)

Pam, thank you for your mega compliment. You're so sweet. I thought the Quaker's banner was top notch. I haven't seen the movie in years. Think i'll try to watch it if it shows up on cable. Everyone has to have a web site or blog now-a-days. ..........Good Night, Chet.
Rataskaa said at 9:49 p.m. on Jul 23, 2008:
This is very nice...the banners, the comments, the sentiment. And Pam is right on with her comments about your talents btw...keep up the great work. As far as the tabblo goes...my hope is that there are more people that believe in these words and act in the name of good and right, instead of acting in hate, ignorance, and intolerance. Here's hoping we can at least eliminate ignorance.
Lifequest22 said at 11:30 p.m. on Jul 23, 2008:
Thank you Holly. You're sweet too. Peace, my friend.
Chilla said at 4:55 p.m. on Jul 24, 2008:
Thanks for sharing this Linda. The colourful Quaker banner speaks for itself.
Lifequest22 said at 10:19 p.m. on Jul 24, 2008:
Thank you, Celia.
