    This was happening not so long ago (if you're in your early 40s, it had just stopped happening when you were born).

    P.S. it's probably pronounced "Braz-uss" down them ways...

    This "swinging-chant" is sung to a slow 4/4 beat:

    "The 60s," that misnamed twelve-year period from 1963 to 1975, was all about ending things like that. Unfortunately we were only partially successful.

    Idealism was reduced to a fashion statement and it's making the rounds again, this time, more shallow than the skin on your coffee.

    You imply that you don't approve of those types of work gangs. Why not?

    Er, any implication, expressed or implied, is the property of "Huddie Leadbetter" and/or "Ian Gillan".

    I just listen to it...

    Sorry, I thought the implication was that they targeted African-Americans. I have no problem with prisoners working; if I were one I'd probably prefer it to sitting around doing nothing all day. I just don't like selective law enforcement and as a libertarian I have no respect for the 90% of our laws that are nothing but too-big-for-its-britches government.
