1. Well, look how old...
...Ronald Reagan was when he died. IMO, that supports the theory that the good die young.

5. It seems the good, they die young...

Abraham, Martin, and John
Sung by: Dion
Words and Music by Richard Holler

Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
You know I just looked around and he's gone

Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

(brief instrumental interlude-organ)

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, it's gonna be one day

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin, and John

13. Not always - Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and others did not live to be extremely old
However:

(1) The rich tend to live longer than the poor, and are also more likely, if not to *be* evil, to have the opportunity to spread their evil.

(2) The longer someone lives, the more evil they can commit.

14. Well, rich people live longer. I have a theory it's because they never
have to touch money.

16. This is something I have been thinking about ...
for a long time. I especially think about it when I see some of these old ass CONS in the senate who seem to never go away. I also see it in other aspects of society and I wonder why are they still hear causing all of these problems. They seem to want to spread their evil to the next generations.
