THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

23 January 2009 - the Inauguration of Obama
Was I the only one to hope, in a madly hopeful moment, that Aretha Franklin would launch into RESPECT at the Inauguration of Obama, and disappointed that she sung something that sounded disappointingly like GOD SAVE THE QUEEN?

(oo) What you want (oo) Baby, I got
(oo) What you need (oo) Do you know I got it?
(oo) All I'm askin'
(oo) Is for a little respect when you come home
(just a little bit) Hey baby
(just a little bit) when you get home
(just a little bit) mister
(just a little bit) I ain't gonna do you wrong
while you're gone
Ain't gonna do you wrong
(oo) 'cause I don't wanna
(oo) All I'm askin'
(oo) Is for a little respect
when you come home
(just a little bit) Baby
(just a little bit) when you get home
(just a little bit) Yeah
(just a little bit) I'm about to give you all of my money
And all I'm askin' in return, honey
Is to give me my profits
When you get home
(just a, just a, just a, just a) Yeah baby
(just a, just a, just a, just a) When you get home
(just a little bit) Yeah
(just a little bit) Ooo, your kisses
(oo) Sweeter than honey
(oo) And guess what?
(oo) So is my money
(oo) All I want you to do
(oo) for me
Is give it to me
when you get home
(re, re, re ,re) Yeah baby
(re, re, re ,re) Whip it to me
(respect, just a little bit) When you get home, now
(just a little bit) R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB Oh
(sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me) A little respect
(sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me) Whoa, babe
(just a little bit) A little respect
(just a little bit) I get tired
(just a little bit) Keep on tryin'
(just a little bit) You're runnin' out of foolin'
(just a little bit) And I ain't lyin'
(just a little bit)
(re, re, re, re) 'spect
When you come home
(re, re, re ,re) Or you might walk in
(respect, just a little bit) And find out I'm gone
(just a little bit) I got to have
(just a little bit) A little respect
(just a little bit)
The song after all perfectly expresses the relationship between voter and politician!
While we are about asking for some RESPECT, we should perhaps SAY A LITTLE PRAYER too!
