[A. Pole]

And they willingly walked out on this world for the mythical world offered by radical preachers - a world of magic, a world where God had a divine plan for them and intervened daily to protect them and perform miracles in their lives.

And this must be the world offered by Mr. Hedges:

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
Nowhere below us
Above only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for 
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

(Imagine, by John Lennon)

One of the Cincinnati "family-friendly" radio stations plays "Imagine" along with many other songs celebrating questionable behavior.Because they don't play rap and four-letter profanity ,that station is widely played in offices and business.

The Lennon song was played at NYC's Times Square just prior to the New Year. Did you hear it?

I hated it way back when. Still do.
