Barriers
"And but for the sky there are no fences facin'."
The Iron Curtain, The Great Wall of China, fences in our yards, police lines and
barricades, barricades of vocal abuse in pathways, guard rails on mountain roads. We
create barricades, walls to separate us from a perceived danger. When we cross these
barriers we confront  the perceived danger.

Bridges and doors sometimes span across barriers, sometimes easing the danger.
If we become the bridge or door, we cross the generation gap peacefully.
 "And but for the sky there are no fences facin'."
from Mr. Tamborine Man by Bob Dylan

Mental Lapses
I just typed a profound thought on this computer.
Some words that were going to change the world into a better place to live.
When I had completed my thought I hit the close button with this mouse,
the computer said,” Would you like to save this?” I cancelled it because I did not know what to do.
I closed the program again and the computer said. “Would you like to save this?” And I said no.
After I completed the task, I went to find what I had written and realized that I had not saved it.
The computer had asked me twice to save it, but I was caught in a mental lapse.

My thought before this occurrence was about the world around me being a better place to live than in the fifties and sixties.
We do have some people running around in a frenzy of making tons of computer money.
We have a generation of folks that eat well and travel, financially secure.
Still I see some folks living day by day because their employer does not want to give up his money to help the poor that he employs.
We know for a fact that other countries not as well off as us treat their employees worse.
Why, because they can, the employer has the money and the countries that they are in love to have them come in and employ their people. Because the United States is doing business in other countries, the standard of living in the U.S. is becoming lower/level with the rest of the world.
We are becoming poorer as the world becomes richer.
Our final economy we be an economy somewhere between Wal-mart and McDonalds.
I hate to loose what our forefathers fought for; I do not want to live in poverty.
It is true that we will all be fed, with bean sprouts on every table,
but it is painful to lose what our forefathers fought for.
