Raven (667 posts) Dec-07-02, 07:48 PM (ET) OK, I am weeping. New Hampshire Public Television has a program on tonight - all folk singers from the 60's. I am in tears. Not nostaglia, crying for what we didn't do. The songs bring back all of those great aspriations... government was going to be better under us... the world was going to be better... I'm watching the people in the audience - my age- they are crying too. I wonder if its for the same reason. What a shame, what a sorrow. How did we enable Bush. If you listen to all these songs, they are so full of love, hope and change. Jesus, what the hell happened to all of us? There is no music like this now, is there? Not that it matters in the long run, I guess. What a shame.
That's true , the 60's were the Golden Age for popular music!
Here's another one just for fun. (Sorry JR, I couldn't resist.)
In 2000: voter fraud, ballot tampering and disenfranchisement SCOTUS stopping the recount.In 2002: Repuke computers. No EXIT POLLS. And, once again, voter disenfranchisement.
And not a word from our elected officials.
We may not even get an election in 2004; I think that the rate things are going, it's 50/50 at best.
Wow, it's amazing to see that there are people who actually never woke up from that hopelessly naive, "peace, love and flower power", "everyone is beautiful" idealism.
The reason they are crying and so crushed is because their delusion has collided with reality, and they still don't want to admit the truth about mankind and the world.
