Ok all 6 Billion of you Brother and Sister Humans walking around on this Beautiful Planet Earth, I've been trying to sum up all the events of this Generation. I've come to the conclusion lots of things have been purging, purifying and refining us.

There is something happening here, which is coming "clear to me." starting back in 1994. And if you forgot the Buffalo Springfiled song here is a lonk to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30W3iRL48gQ

Most of what I know about the 50's is from their music. And from the Movie American Graffeti. Though I heard Einstein said, "No one in real power is ever going to end the cold war." (Which thinking about the cold war, have come to the conclusion, it was a hoax.) Though, as long as the BOMB exists IT is not over. Then there was Ike in his farewell address saying, "We must watch out t=for the Giant Military Industrial Complex" Which, the Politicians are still sold out to today.

Then there was the 60's where "Free Love" along with some very powerful music, which the Church and State have yet to understand. Even some of the drug use very well may have halp expand our minds. Even with their side effects, the drug war is immoral... All of that ended up fading away by the 80's when the Hippies turned into rich yuppies, drunk in a world of plenty.

Reagan, though admired when he broke the Unions, while talking of smaller government, made a huge mistake which we are paying for today. Health Care is a perfect example. Unionized workers get health care, and unionsare the smaller government we the people will always need.

Even the abortion issue, which I am sick to death about hearing, has had a purifing effect on us. It has kept in the air, that killing people is wrong. Though in my opinion, the right must drop the issue, as slavery was dropped 150 years ago. Lets make it easier for a family to be raised. Then, we may even get rid of tons of them.

Though here is another thing I would like to tell the Religious Right. Through all the pain and suffering we have been through; all of our sins have been thrown into the bottom of the sea, as Jeremiah 31:31-34 says. Never to be remembered again. Also, this philosophy has come to me: "If it is not fun, it may be a sin, so repaint and make it fun."

In another life back in the 80s in my 20, had worked as IBEW Union Electrician in a good part of this land. And the Union Brothers taught me well about how things should work for the regular Folks. My Number 9 dream is to fulfill Isaiah (more...)
