If us 'adults' have it so screwed up as it is today,
government wise. Maybe my generation should turn it over to the younger generation. Remember when we were young in age we were the one's who had to fight a war, then win the peace, all while we had to rid ourselves of a despot of a president. I'm seeing our children ready to pick up the fight right where we stop, with new energy and new ideas. Looking to us for guidance and encouragement. :shrug:
just ramblin'

1. Ain't it funny?
The end of your and my conflict (Vietnam) brought us Nixon to deal with.

In the Central American secret wars, we had Raygun.

And now this fiasco finds another idiot at the helm.

That's why I don't believe in coincidence.

2. Not for a minute, with these thugs in control, some of who can be traced
back to the nixon whitehouse. They're pure unadulterated evil. But you know in all honesty, I'm around the mid 20'ish age group a lot because of the kids. And we talk and they are saying things like this country is going down hill, we need new leadership, a new direction, heading for another world war, a war not like any before, nuclear will be the weapon of choice this time. Anyways, listening to them I believe that they are ready to do what we had to do so many days/years ago.

3. John Steinbeck said, "Young wolves show us your teeth."
He said it to a group of Russian students during the worst days of Brezhnev when we Americans were in the streets in the '60s. I've been waiting for the "young wolves" to awaken in this country for 30 years.
