I trust you have read Fred today. I think he pretty well tells it like it is. We are watching the suicide of a nation and a culture. All the while squabbling like little children..It use to be kind of funny, in a sad way, but now it is just boring. I for at least one am glad I'm not long for this sorry place...You kids have fun in your future if you can.......
....Pessimistic Westy......

Thanks for the reminder - I'll go read Fred right now.

Mostly pessimistic lodwick. ;-)

hi westy
the mass awakening is only 10 years away now
I used to think we'd steadily get more enlightened and sail right into it
now I see the old world collapsing, as the new world is being born
rofl they're both happening at same time
depends on where you focus
on one hand this internet is extraordinary vehicle of communication
I love it
on other hand lotsa chaos happenin'
Love, Palo

The likelihood, I think, is that we will muddle on, dissatisfied but not too dissatisfied, turning into whatever we are turning into, learning obedience. Yet the tension is there. Remember the LA riots. Nothing lasts forever, not even America. A fascinating question is when and how it will stop lasting. - Fred Reed's last paragraph today.

Maybe al spent way too much time getting stoned with the bikers, and whoever had a stash over the years - I truly don't think his mind functions all that well. And we all saw that under pressure, he could really fall apart.

When are Neets and Mom making their next progress reports? I hope that they all had wildly successful weekends and safe journeys back home.
