Browne writes: „I did not know anything about Kelcy Warren’s other business as the production of this album went forward. Although as a music publisher there is no legal way to deny permission to a record company to cover a song that has been previously published, I could have dissuaded the artists from appearing on this record had I known.“ Browne goes on to say, „I do not play for oil interests. I do not play for companies who defile nature, or companies who attack demonstrators with trained attack dogs and pepper spray. I certainly would not have allowed my songs to be recorded by a record company whose owner’s other business does what Energy Transfer Partners is allegedly doing—threatening the water supply and the sacred sites of indigenous people.“

Deutschland wird von den unterschiedlichsten Quellen übereinstimmend zu den sichersten Ländern der Erde gezählt. Trotz dieser Fakten werden die Deutschen immer ängstlicher. Die grassierende diffuse Angst und ein subjektives Unsicherheitsempfinden der Mehrheit der Bevölkerung befeuern den Abbau von Grund- und Freiheitsrechten.
