Interesting article. Good song.

And with all of this, Nancy Pelosi invited the world to come out and spend an evening together, huddled up for San Frans Chinese New Years celebration. It was an intentional super spreader event which Pelosi and the San Fran government should be held accountable for.

I attended a Barry McGuire concert in Dallas in the 80's, after his conversion to Christianity.

While he didn't speak directly to this song, he noted that "what I used to consider unjust, I now know that I was shortsighted". and went on to describe how he had changed.

A good man. And a new man, after meeting Jesus.

He is still with us ...

Here is a retrospective on this song, written in 2022, about an NPR folk concert from 2015:

Barry McGuire Speaks Again 57 Years Later

Reminds me of this song:

If the Bombs Fall by Larry Norman

If the bombs fall, baby I love you
If they end it all, baby I love you
Through it all, I want you to know I love you

Silver raindrops falling from on high
While a dark red cloud fills up the sky
I don't want our love to end this way

What about the songs we haven't sung?
What about the things we haven't done
What's the matter with this world today?

Well, If the bombs fall, baby I love you
If they end it all, baby I love you
Through it all, I want you to know I love you
You and I are still so very young
And with love, the best is yet to come
God has let me choose you - I don't wanna lose you

Who can say tomorrow will find its way
Who can say the sun will shine today
Baby I adore you, that's why I'm living for you

But if the bombs fall, baby I love you
If they end it all, baby I love you
Through it all, I want you to know I love you
And through the years and all the long hard miles
We'll shed some tears, but we will share the smiles

People have to understand that one should not trust one’s government—it is usually run by the power hungry. Look out for you and yours, do good where you can, identify the truth and stand up for it, do not get sucked into lies and fads. Covid was a lie on so many levels.

[Alberta's Child]

Misfits and despots like Andrew Cuomo and Gavin Newsome were bad enough.

There are many so-called “conservatives” right here on this website who I don’t take seriously anymore because they were such pathetic, cowardly losers and Karens during the COVID fiasco.

[PGalt]

Thanks. Good thoughts from Barry.

“Covid was a lie on so many levels.”

And yet to this day I still see mindless lemmings out in public wearing a cloth mask that offers absolutely no protection what so ever.

The covid fear mongers are already starting part II and a certain amount of people will dutifully swallow it, hook line and sinker.

I never thought there were so many weak minded people in this country......but here we are.

The state of education in this country is pitiful.

It is not “laid” in bed, it is “lay” in bed.

Irritating.

I suppose the next generation, people will talk like that voiceover in those Mel Gibson disutopian movies.

“There are many so-called “conservatives” right here on this website who I don’t take seriously anymore because they were such pathetic, cowardly losers and Karens during the COVID fiasco.”

In what way do you mean that?

But they got rid of Trump with vote by mail and that was the entire reason for the Chinese releasing their bioweapon.

It was astonishing to see how many Freepers had no qualms about getting on here to scold me for refusing to shut down my business and hide under my bed in the spring of 2020.

-——The National Basketball Association’s moment of reckoning came Wednesday when Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.

Within minutes, the league had suspended its season and the sports world was getting a lesson in the dangers of the coronavirus. At least one other league was mulling the possibility of doing the same.———

Also, the very next day day:

-——————The NCAA canceled its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments on Thursday because of the spread of the coronavirus, putting an abrupt end to the season less than a month before champions were to be crowned.-—————

Seems post 10.....goes for FR as well

[Alberta's Child]

I agree with you 100%.

[exnavy]

I was working then. Never locked down or quarantined. I was amazed at how few cars were on the roads. For me, 2020 was my best income ever, a lot of overtime. I was forced out in 2021 because i refused the clot shot. Best thing i ever did was to retire.

[V_TWIN]

Sounds like your situation was similar to mine. Although not forced out, I retired from the DoD on 12/31/2019....just prior to the federal civil servant shot mandate.

Since I had enough service time to leave with full benefits, even if I hadn’t been planning to already leave, the mandatory shot requirement woulda done it.

And yes, in 2020 traffic was as light as I have ever seen it.

When the human life span was around 40, the Roman philosopher Seneca said, “The problem is not that life is too short, it’s that we waste too much of it.”

This is truer, and more relevant, than ever.

Indeed.
