    “Oh the Protestants hate the CatholicsAnd the Catholics hate the ProtestantsAnd the Hindus hate the MuslimsAnd everybody hates the Jews …”

    Fifty years on, Tom Lehrer still rings true.

    This was always one of my favs, because you can really feel what they do.

    OK… I sorted it out….

    The words in the strip don’t go to any song…

    but they remind many of us of a song….. in fact TWO songs.

     

    And OMG, I think I’ve had it wrong myself for the better part of the last 50 years.

    Yes… the song I’ve “always remembered” as a Tom Lehrer song is indeed “The Merry Little Minuet” by the Kingston Trio:

    But it’s somewhat understandable, because Tom Lehrer did do a similar song…

    including the lyrics that Ravenswood quoted…

    Called “National Brotherhood Week”…. it’s also quite familiar:

    Whew!

    These little ones need to get a grip, they obviously haven’t read any history, conflicts are the way of the human species.

    Better to love than to hate. Be it friends, enemies, acquaintances, etc. Love your neighbor. Mostly love The True God, Jesus Christ.
