Quotable Mark Steyn:

The legacy of this period is less musical than political: forty years ago, the self-consciously childlike “folk song” met the civil rights movement and helped permanently infantilise the left. I caught an anti-war protest in Vermont last year and the entire repertoire was from the Sixties, starting with “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?”, which as a poignant comment on soldiering was relevant in the Great War but has no useful contribution to make in a discussion on Iraq.
