This is a good thread for me
I mean it focuses so much of what has been on my mind T-girl
I liked that Jimmy Buffett song a pirate looks at forty
the one everybody calls mother mother ocean.
I guess this like my swan song
A smuck looks at seventy
three more years Hes
I would really like to see the big seven oh
but it don't matter
Trying to see the world through a child's eyes
say twelve or thirteen maybe the last innocent years of childhood, or at least it was for me.
Now kids growing up so fast, entering puberty at earlier and earlier ages.
Is it something in the water?
AP Probe Finds Drugs in Drinking Water
-- A vast array of pharmaceuticals _ including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones _ have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows.
But the presence of so many prescription drugs _ and over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen and ibuprofen _ in so much of our drinking water is heightening worries among scientists of long-term consequences to human health.

This new generation coming along is there any name for them yet, like the me generation, or the lost generation. I have heard them called gen X.
Beats me.
How do they see the world? Watched a kid on a show who raised a lot of money to get clean drinking water to desperate people in Africa. Another one who is trying to clean up the crap in the Chesapeake Bay.
Can we afford to indulge ourselves with hysteria.
So much stinks, in washington dc, the capitol of the fucking free world, rich country, beautiful city, marble statues, stately homes, imposting buidings and yet a hundred thousand homes still have lead water pipes bringing water to the children.
On one hand I have the luxury of being a bittler old man, but I think if I was a parent I could not indulge myself, I would have to believe in the future for the children's sake.
Thinking about the teacher in the middle east trying to keep up appearances for the children's sake.
What does stella think, does she think about stuff like the world condition yet?
Funny how you hardly read anything about the deformed frogs and the atrazine in the water.
Thinking about those old Greeks, the golden age, when did the world get so stinking screwed up.
What was the good old days in american democracy? Do you think there ever was one?
The world situation is desperate, was there a time when it was not.
Is it worse now?
Where is the know nothing party when I need them
I got no hostages to leave to the future hes
If I did have a child
I could never give up
Have you ever seen a movie called Life Is Beautiful. I have watched it about 15 times. Nine in Italian and six in English. A lot of people think it is a disgraceful movie, how dare he find humor in a story about the holocaust. But I thought it was a beautiful movie about a father's love for his child. It helped me get in touch with my own father, to find memories of how he loved me.
