You know there are things in life people are just not mature enough for. In Criss Business College they used to tell people "Don't take Accounting II unless you have a rock-solid understanding of Accounting I or else at some point the roof will just cave in on you". In sex education it would be easy to invision (not from any personal knowledge) a situation where a group of kids were just plain "too young" to be told about Sex and the class degenerated into snickering and joke telling and other activities and the teacher loses complete control of the class. It's sad to contemplate that the United States of America is just not psychologically ready for a Black President but we sure do see signs of imaturety all the time. Apparently Marines normally function as security guards for embassies around the world. But in Afghanistan, this job was turned over to a bunch of "frat boys" who, according to news reports, engaged in homo-erotic people with themselves and others. I think we all rememember the poster Laura Schleshenger's son had in his barics, which depicted a soldier forcing another to perform oral compulation at gun point. At this point Dr. Laura's credibility with me went straight to zero, and has stayed there. Of course people usually won't come out and say it's because Obama is Black that they are afraid of him. So they come up with this notion that he isn't really a US citizen and that they can't find his birth cirtificate, and that he was really born in Kenya and all of that. You have the tantrums toese stooges of the right throw at Town Meetings. A few days ago a woman in a wheel chair was angrily shouted down by a mob when she tried to present her problems that she's having. You forever hear these charges of "socialized medicine" and the US government allocating doctor supply. Now the far right is all in a spaz about this message the President is broadcasting to school children next Tuesday, and phones to school board members are ringing off the hook and schools are refusing to let their children see it. What you have to remember is that Obama almost didn't get elected last fall, and probably wouldn't elected had not the economy done a complete melt down just a few months ahead of schedule while President Bush was still in office. Personally I don't see how we are still such a bigoted nation. I remember the line from "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" where Sydney Portier says to his father, "Untill the dead weight of your generation is off our backs, our generation will never get anywhere". One would have easily thought then that had "The greatest generation" all dropped dead then that George Mc Govern would have won the Presidency in a walk, and in 1968. But that didn't happen. Somehow all those "young people" back then have turned into the grumpy old men and women of today. Maybe they should take co-enzyme Q 10, or a little B 12 and Folic acid or something. I know this. Usually people become less flexible when they are older, and that also means being succeptable to new ideas. But I know one Pastor's son who was already an "old man" at age 23. He took pride in how he was already more reactionary than his father.
So when all else fails, go back to that famous time-line prediction of the spring of 1982. What does that say? It says that any "revolution" or spiritual renewal won't occur till the early 2040's, which actually was then I thought untill quite recently when the Mayan callendar ended. We know they are working on drugs that make the body think it's gotten exercise when it hasn't with a host of beneficial effects. Science doesn't yet know how to manipulate subatomic matter to make it weightless, but they'll figure it out. 2061 is the scheduled date for this. But you want to know what's on tap for right now. A war with Iran, that's what. It could start any time. And according to the scenario the chief protagonist of the war was incarnated at a Japanese citizen in World War II that got A-Bombed, and he's for out and out revenge and nothing will say him. In retrospect the US government will see that it should have been tougher on Iran all along, but too often let things slide untill the crisis was upon us. Polution and global warming, as well as the presence of a military state will be ongoing realities for the next several decades. I will be ninety by the time all of this political darkness lifts. It's not a rosey picture but that's what's on tap.
