FireBird/Clive/Anybody,
What a crazy mess!
I have lived for 66 years so far and it appears to me that it has always been a crazy mess right from the start. Possibly, . . .just maybe. . .this crazy world is the best there is, but if so I would hope the Euro and open borders remain, rather than that we return to each having our own currency and having closed borders and currency exchange offices at very border. . .
When there oppression some place we scream about human rights being trampled and if things get "out of hand" we invade the place to bring peace and liberty while the blood flows through the streets. Then after "peace" has retuned and all appears well (for a moment while we clear the rubble and build monuments) we start screaming bloody murder about high taxes and too many blacks and foreigners that are on the dole and should get a kick in the butt, go to work and contribute [to the crazy mess]instead of riding our coat tails and then we complain about grabbing politicians that have lost touch with reality and then we get really upset about the religious Tea Party fanatics that want to return the country back to the Middle Ages while the Coke Party wants to. . .ehhh. . .well, I forgot what they want . . .and then we have the Wilders Party in Holland that wants to give people with silk head gear a fine(Rag Tax) and then we have. . .ohh, what the hell. . .
It's a crazy mess all over. . .
It's so good to know that there are people like David Attenborough and many others like him to show us that amidst the craziness there are also beautiful and magnificent things to see and to experience, and to be reminded of the great things people can achieve. . .now and then. . . or actually. . . that this happens rather often.
Oh shucks, I forgot lunch time!
