of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;
For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green."

"You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between a left or right, but I would like to suggest that there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down--up to a man's age-old dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order--or down to the ant heap totalitarianism, and regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course."

well, if they shouldnt have been imprisoned in the first place....progress was not made, a mistake was simply corrected! Back to square one, if you will

Military strongholds do not equate to "progress." Greg is a smart dude, I imagine his reasoning is along the line's of Dre's a couple of posts up.

You're arguing semantics, I think. I don't think Braffin would say that WWII was not in the best interest of the world, only that wars in general do not provide any cultural progress, so to speak. Again, I'm not familiar with the context of the quote or what he would actually say...just speculating. Why? I don't know. Pretty silly, if you ask me!!

Maybe it's too late for an intellectual debate,
but a residue of confusion remains.
Changing with the times,
and developmentally tortured minds
are the average citizen's sources of pain.
(Tell me what we're fighting for�)
I don't remember anymore,
only temporary reprieve
And the world might cease
if we fail to tame the beast
from the faith that you release
comes an atheist peace.
Political forces rent
bitter cold winds of discontent
and the modern age emerged triumphantly.
But now it seems we've stalled
And it's time to de-evolve
and relive the dark chapters of history
(Tell me what were fighting for�)
No progress ever came from war,
only a false sense of increase
and the world won't wait
for the truth upon a plate
but we're ready now to feast on an atheist peace.

Well "progress" is a very subjective word. I certainly think a different war, like the American Revolution or American Civil War could be considered progressive in the sense that they shook the status quo up to the point of major change.
IMO, Greg's quote is pretty naive...

I imagine there's more to the quote than that little bit (i.e. it's taken out of context). I don't know why I'm defending the guy, I don't even like Bad Religion.
