2. Anyone thinking about the Dar Williams song "Iowa"?

[Debi]

3. :-)

I've never had a way with women
But the hills of Iowa make me wish that I could
And I've never found a way to say I love you
But if the chance came by, oh I, I would
But way back where I come from, we never mean to bother
We never make our passions other people's concern
And we walk in the world of safe people
And at night we walk into our houses and burn

Iowa, oh-oh-oh-oh, Iowa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-I, Iowa

[Veruca Salt]

15. I have never head that song before...

and it is quite lovely! Thank you for leading me to it!

13. It made me think about "Iowa Stubborn." (Music Man)

Music: Meredith Willson
Lyrics: Meredith Willson
Book: Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey
Premiere: Thursday, December 19, 1957

Townspeople:
Oh, there's nothing halfway
About the Iowa way to treat you,
When we treat you
Which we may not do at all.
There's an Iowa kind of special
Chip-on-the-shoulder attitude.
We've never been without.
That we recall.
We can be cold
As our falling thermometers in December
If you ask about our weather in July.
And we're so by God stubborn
We could stand touchin' noses
For a week at a time
And never see eye-to-eye.
But what the heck, you're welcome,
Join us at the picnic.
You can eat your fill
Of all the food you bring yourself.
You really ought to give Iowa a try.
Provided you are contrary,

6. This decision gives me more hope than any other recent ones.

Let's hope it becomes the precedent for all others.

8. That would be nice!~ n/t

[SacredCow]

7. As of today...

Iowa RAWKS!!!!!

[Smarmie Doofus]

9. Sweet state... real pretty.

Relatively progressive. I used to spend some time in Iowa City... two or three million light years ago. Sort of "command and control" for progressive Iowans.

Thanks for taking the lead on this issue.
