big headlines today, "the anti-missile missile

fissiles."

who is watching the back door, or the front as

well - - - - and what are they going to use. a six

gun ?

geez, if everyone would just focus on feeding

the hungry there would probably be less hostility

smeared over this globe.

buying the candidates, the richest are front

runners. seems to me though that the way

candidates are selected, each side comes up with a

man who is so far to the middle - - - he could be

called a candidate for the other side......but he

talks as if the other side is peopled by devils

incarnate ?????

so the richest mediocre man gets the job,

read my lips as they flutter in a raspberry.

violence, my god the comparison between now

and when i was a boy is truly stretched to the

snapping point. you can throw money at it and laws

at it and outlaw this that and the other, it still

is not working.

when we were kids, we read all the gory, gooey,

slash and burn stories. this was before cartoon

mags came out - - - but even so cartoons could

never, never compete with the pictures in our heads.

whether it was cops 'n robbers, cowboys 'n indians,

world war 1 stuff we waded hip deep in blood all the

time and died a million times. but we new fiction

and we knew reality, and the big difference between

them.

i don't know whether this generation of kids

whose parents both work, living in bedroom

communities and seeing the parents for a brief time

at the dinner table before the adults go in and

watch tv, can be retrieved, looks sorta grim from

my way of looking because they have not truly been

taught right from wrong AND the difference between

play and reality.
