Scarily relevant

[filkferengi]

While running errands this morning, I was listening to a Buffalo Springfield song. This song was the biggest hit on it, & the lyrics are scarily relevant. note: this is as close to political as I get.


For What It's Worth

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's s time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

You've caught a lot of what I'm feeling these days. Between the alt right and the antifa (or alt left), not to mention one side spreading fake news about the other, even a scorecard doesn't help.

You've not posted in a while; how've you been?

Are you sure I'm on your read list? I've been posting every Wednesday about the cat shelter, as well as other posts (including some very sad news yesterday, which you should be able to view).

You're right; I didn't read past the place-holder on top.

You're about to get a small avalanche of comments for the last 2 months.
