Your ballot answers question, 'Which side are your on?'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

“Which side are you on Boys?

Which side are you on?”

So asked Florence Reese, an American social activist, poet and folksinger-songwriter in Harlan County, Ky., as she rallied coal miners during the brutal 1931-39 Harlan County War; which pitted members of the United Mine Workers against the mine owners and operators.

The “war” (also called “Bloody Harlan”) was fought by the union for better working conditions and wages, and by the mine owners who wanted to crush legitimate union activity (collective bargaining) and retain total control over those who “Dig Coal.” It was a series of pitched, armed battles after the owners enlisted the sheriff, J.H. Blair and his mercenary union busters to (literally) fight to destroy the union. (The union won in 1939).

But, without stretching too much, the song could have been written about what’s going to happen over the next thirteen days in voting booths and on kitchen tables as millions of ballots are completed all over the U.S.; and where I think there are darn few “neutrals” left.
