something my mom pointed out while we were listening to the weavers.

do you know the song "if i had a hammer"? chances are (if you have one ounce of coolness) you do. well, i was wondering the significance of the hammer and the bell, but i just found out: the hammer represents communism (hammer and sickle), and the bell represents the freedom of america (the liberty bell). so, what the weavers are really saying is-"what we really want is not the totalitarian, corrupt communism of the russians and the chinese, but the fairness of communism AND the freedom of democracy. anyway, i thought that that was pretty nifty.
