Dear Folks, Conspiracy Theories aside, who, =really=, is the man who sold our world? Where is Bowie, these days, when we need him most? Do you have faith? Faith in our leadership? If not, then... Why not? Better listen to this, from times gone by, when the world made more sense... And, to any young people who might be reading my words....I say.... Eat your little hearts out, since....those days, long gone, were so much better... Just listen the lyrics of Deep Purple..... The Vietnam War was so much better, then. There was, at that time, far less the sense of hopelessness about the world. Instead, we had anxiety, in our naivete. You really cannot win in this world because.... ===================== Well they'll stone you when you're trying to be so good; They'll stone you just like they said they would. They'll stone you when you're tryin' to go home; And they'll stone you when you're there all alone. {Chorus} But I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned! Well they'll stone you when you're walkin' on the street, They'll stone you when you're tryin' to keep your seat, They'll stone you when you're walkin' on the floor, They'll stone you when you walk in through the door. {Chorus} They'll stone you when you're at the breakfast table. They'll stone you when you are young and able. They'll stone you when you're tryin' to make a book. They'll stone you and then they'll say good luck. {Chorus} Well they'll stone you and say that it's the end, Then they'll stone you and come back again. They'll stone you when you're riding in your car; They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar. {Chorus} Well they'll stone you when you are all alone. They'll stone you when you are walkin' home. They'll stone you and then say they're all brave, They'll stone you when you're sent down in your grave. ============================ This is just the way the world works, unfortunately. I wish it were not so. Best regards, Gamma
