Lately it feels as if we are right back in the 1960s, when Barry McGuire sang "Eve of Destruction".
"The eastern world. It is exploding." North Korea is testing missiles. The Tamils and Singhalese are killing each other in Sri Lanka. Trains are being bombed in Mumbai. Afghanistan is an active war zone.
"And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin'." Maybe it hasn't hit the Jordan yet, but people are dying in Lebanon, Israel, and Palestine. The insurgency is continuing in Iraq.
"When human respect is disintegratin', This whole crazy world is just too frustratin'." A 97 year old lady died after being left in a car in hot weather. Oprah Winfrey feels obliged to state that she and her best friend are not gay lovers. The World Cup is marred by a head-butting incident that was allegedly sparked by insults to female relatives.
I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same.
