Not planning to but one of the philosophical truths that guides me is that absolute fact - we're all going to die eventually

They are stronger and wiser than we know.

Today they are joyful.

Beyond they are full of ideas and hope.

We were “getting stoned and dropping out”! We were in the middle of the horrible Viet Nam war where young men were drafted and forced to go to war. We were disappointed and disillusioned and Nixon was our President.

We’re leaving these kids a mess and they know it. They have to get involved to make this place a better world for them n their future. At 73, I’m delighted beyond words that this nightmare is gonna be over n I pray we never..ever again get so far off our moral compass and flirt with disaster
