granted, if he had written it today ( this land is your land) , he might have mentioned all the identity groups the country "really" belonged to, but isn't it possible he simply referred to a collective people?
without any mean or underlying sub text, such as is sometimes prevalent in the minds of thought police of our day?
by saying the land was "your land", was he necessarily specifying the ruling class euro owners of property? or was the whole idea of the song to claim the land as common property, belonging to all of us?
did the guy have to account for matters and issues that were less important in a time when collective humanity made more sense than it seems to, in the present?
jeez...
