So I've been going about the business of living my life (take a vacation, get a bridge in my face, etc.) when I noticed the news around the world is-well, it's not really news.  Current events are past events that seem to repeat in some sort of irregular cycle, as if we humans are stuck in the perpetual bond of insanity.  Expecting different results from repeated identical behavior-insanity.   Israel will not just swat down Hamas or the Palestinians like a mosquito and put a permanent end to that conflict. They are basically putting ointment on a rash but leaving the dirty diaper on the baby.  Iran is momentarily back to the nuclear negotiating table, the Russians are an expanding empire, the Chinese are looking to join the world in more ways than one, the Africans are dying from violence, decease and starvation, the illegals are pouring over our border, there are spies everywhere spying on everyone, our president is not up to the job and the "world runs amok under his watch", taxes are too high and morality too low.  Then there is North Korea and Iraq and ya-da-da-da-da.  Hmm, what year are we in again?   It's unreal how we just keep repeating  certain behaviors that really don't get us anywhere.  Like hamsters in a cage, running and running and running the wheel-it really is collective insanity on the world scale.  To stop it takes enormous will and power-the power to say what you mean, and mean what you say.   Unfortunately, the people with the power lack the will, and the people with the will lack the power, just as in the "border" issue.
     I took the citizenship oath (read on home page) on August 24, 1979. 
Happy 35th anniversary coming for me!  I often say  the world is such a different place now, but is it really?

Well, Miss Liberty, I think you're old enough to do some serious growing up now.

This birthday should be one of great introspection, you know, the kind when you look squarely into the mirror and deeply stare into your own eyes.  Those birthdays come around more often after a certain age, and let's face it, it's time.  In today's microsecond information exchange world, time has sped up, and even though you are relatively young in terms of Continental Nations (think China), it seems "your time has come and gone" my dear, and the ideals and intentions of your founders have been blatantly thrown out the window.   


 A & E  Network is running a commercial starring Mark Whalberg and lots of "colorful people" (as in literally rainbow) and "every kind of -eno".   The ad's slogan is "let's celebrate our differences".    Do you really think we need another dose of differences?
NO, WE DON'T!!!   How about instead, let's celebrate the things we have in common, the ways we are the same, the things that unite us!
