"Perhaps the most graphic example of the relationship between human rights and peace is the right of peace groups to exist and to promote their views. In fact, the treatment of peace groups may be a litmus test of governments' true desire for peace."

--President Ronald Reagan,
to the United Nations General Assembly,
September 24, 1984.

*-THIS PARTICULAR SONG, AS VISITORS TO THIS AWARD-WINNING WEBSITE AND/OR 'STUDENTS OF HISTORY' MAY RECALL, WAS USED BY THE AMERICAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS ITS THEME SONG DURING THE 1988 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
FOR AN INTERESTING FOOTNOTE TO HISTORY ON THIS USE AS IT SEEMS, TO THIS PAIR OF EYES, APPLICABLE TO THE WORLD OF TODAY AS "ALL OF US" ENTER THE NEW MILLENNIUM, TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP HERE.

AS IS MORE WIDELY KNOWN, IN THE 1992 CAMPAIGN THE DEMOCRATS USED FLEETWOOD MAC'S SONG, "DON'T STOP ["DON'T STOP THINKING ABOUT TOMORROW"]".

LIKE JACKSON BROWNE, AT THE TIME 2 OF THEN-CREATIVE ARTISTS AGENCY (C.A.A.) C.E.O. MICHAEL OVITZ' 3 SPECIAL ASSISTANTS TELEPHONED ME IN 1990 (I AM ASSUMING HERE VISITORS TOOK THE LINK FROM JACKSON'S NAME ABOVE AND READ THE TEXT OF THE FAX I SENT C.A.A. IN RESPONSE TO OUR PHONE DISCUSSIONS), FLEETWOOD MAC AS A BAND WAS A C.A.A. CLIENT, AS WAS ROD STEWART.
(INCIDENTALLY, IF YOU TOOK THE LINK FROM ROD'S NAME HERE, WAS INTERESTED BY ITS CONTENTS AND HAVEN'T READ THE WHOLE THING IT IS ONLY PAGE 10. OF, YOU CAN READ IT FROM THE BEGINNING IF YOU TAKE A BRIEF SERIES OF SIDESTEPS HERE.)

FOR AN ENLIGHTENING FOOTNOTE ON THE USE BY THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION OF THAT SONG, TAKE ANOTHER BRIEF SIDETSTEP HERE.

OKAY, OKAY, MR. WONG--WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
WELL, I SUPPOSE IT'S THE ULTIMATE REASON WHY I OPENED THE WEBSITE.
IN 1996, THE DEMOCRATS APPARENTLY USED, AS THEIR CAMPAIGN THEME SONG, THE CHICAGO CLASSIC ROCK SONG, "BEGINNINGS", WITH ITS LYRICAL RIFF OF..."ONLY JUST BEGINNING"...
AND IN THE 2000 CAMPAIGN, AL GORE WERE USING THE SONG, 'LOVE TRAIN'...
