(6,699 posts)Was driving home from my shift of driving Uber/Lyft, and I heard the song from Hair come on my radio (via my iTouch)....Aquarius....and I was thinking..."this is how we thought the world was going to be back in the late 60's and 70's." How idealistic we were as young people. We actually believed somehow that the world was going to find peace....that good would prevail and the world would be a better place.
And then along came the repuKKKes, and the military complex, and the hatred and vile underbelly of a racist nation. And now this fat slob in the White House...a repugnant, disgusting and insulting low-life of a puppet for the reich wingers of ameriKKKa to sabotage a struggling nation as we made a glimmer of progress toward being a better place.
Your story is what I needed to hear. It's what this country could be, the world could be, and what is possible if we don't allow corruption and evil to take control and lead us into the pits of hell. I'm honestly not sure of who is going to succeed, but your story gives me a glimmer of hope yet. Maybe we are strong enough to make a difference. Maybe this evil empire, as the idiot reagan once coined on another nation, can be saved...then your story will be OUR story, and not a rare occurrence, but an expected and common act that we can all enjoy being part of.
Thank you.
