[edit] Freedomland?

I wonder if anyone remembers the jingle about "Come with me and take my hand/ And let's go to Freedomland"? Sounds an awful lot like "Take my hand and come with me/ To a land where you and me are free to be... you and me"...68.36.214.143 03:36, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Ahem, it was "Mommy, Daddy, take my hand. Take me out to Freedomland." source to come in a moment. 68.36.214.143 03:40, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

And I guess I bobbled the lyrics of Free to Be as well. Oops. Turns out that there are quite a few lines between "take my hand" and "free to be". Nonetheless, this was apparently done in New York (and Freedomland had been in the Bronx). So there might've been some inspiration from the old radio jingle. 68.36.214.143 03:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gloria Steinem, please

If you can't spell someone's name properly then don't try to write intelligently about them. Now run along and watch your "Simpsons" reruns, and stay away from anything remotely educational. Thanks! 12.165.106.162 (talk) 13:44, 31 December 2007 (UTC)Ronald McDonald

[edit] Possibly a rewrite?

This article seems awfully negative in its view of the record. Not encyclopedic, to my mind. What do you all think about a rewrite? 206.255.56.241 (talk) 21:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I reverted that material for now (taking it back to the 13 Dec 2007 version), as it didn't have citations and was full of "weasel words" and POV terms. Certainly it needs citations both for the positive and adding any negative that we can back up with reasonable sourcing. Lawikitejana (talk) 11:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
