...more easily than anyone suspects. The fight for blanket antiabortion legislation will be bruising, and many purely economic conservatives will want no part of it. But the question of Government funding of abortions unites laissez-faire and Old Testament moralists alike. Many other social issues, such as day care, lend themselves to similar cross-cultural anti-Government alliances. Junk-bond dealers and snake handlers agree in wanting Washington out of their lives.

But "Before You Accuse Me" has lots of raw energy, and the subdued vocals and lack of mixing actually lend the track a feeling of authenticity...
