A song to think about...

While in the midst of what promises to be an exceptionally busy weekend, I popped an old Tom Petty CD into the car stereo.
What I heard seems rather an appropriate anthem in the wake of this past week's shenanigans north of the border.
Check the lyrics to "I Won't Back Down". Whaddaya thimk?

Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down

(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushin me around
but I'll stand my ground
...and I won't back down

(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down...)
hey I will stand my ground
(I won't back down)
and I won't back down...
(I won't back down...)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
hey I won't back down
(and I won't back down)
hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(and I won't back down)
hey I will stand my ground
(and I won't back down)
and I won't back down
(I won't back down)
No I won't back down...

Thanks to Lyrics Depot for the confirmation.

And I probly won't see you until next week. Daughter runs in the area track meet; son plays his first inline hockey game for his high school club. (Thank God I bought a car that gets 33-35 MPG)
