==========================
A king without a sword,
A land without a king,
A truth without a voice,
One song left to sing...
One song to sing.

A wise man told me, there's somethin' you should know,
The way you judge a man is to look into his soul,
And you'll soon see everything.

A voice from the past cried: "Give peace a chance"
He paid our price now he's free at last,
And imagine, we called him a dreamer!
How many times must good men die?
How many tears will the children cry?
'Till we suffer no more sadness.
Stop the madness.
Oh, stop the madness.

If ashes are ashes and dust is dust,
At our journey's end then return we must,
To the sands of the shore.
White doves in flight,
Peace to all,
But tell me why the peacemakers fall?
Must we bury any more?

The hush of the crowd as the horse rode by,
A black lace veil hid the tears from her eyes,
And we all wept in silence.
How many times must good men die?
How many times will the children cry?
'Til they suffer no more sadness...
Oh, stop the madness...
Oh, stop all the madness....
===============

This is as close as I can get, to translate this into the American experience.

But I have to agree, stop the madness...

There's only one possible answer to that question:

"...yes I said yes I will Yes."

Heh. Actually, truth be told, I hadn't even noticed the date until you pointed it out. But you're right, it certainly is serendipitous.

I agree, that was a momentous speech. I wanted to quote more of it, but what I did was so long already... I urge anyone interested to read Cameron's full speech.

I think the Cameron/Clegg team is going to do big things and give us all something to think about.
