the evening news isn't all that different no jungle in the war news these days and suicide bombers instead of bra burners and protests i think thats progress ... when my vinyl records skipped i could gently move the needle and continue listening still plus it seemed like govt was there for the avg joe more so than today [ maybe we should use our 1st amendment rights to modernize abe lincoln [sp] from govtgovt of by and for the people to govt of by and for the rich] spray painting the lincoln mem with the truth would probably get me life as a terrorist and a huge bill for defacing govt property!!! I miss the apollo project and the sense of hope that was around the early earth days and the green theta flags for eco projects i'm ashamed to admit that i voted for reagen in 1980 my vision was screwed up by crazy terrorists from a different culture ... the more things change the more they stay the same...
