For What It's Worth (it's the 60s again)...

[Clear Blue Sky]

Watching the recent news, I'm reminded of a great 60s song by Buffalo Springfield.

Anarchy in Europe and angst here in the US. Economic uncertainty and the feeling that forces beyond our understanding and control are pulling the economic strings for the world. Instead of finding common ground on social issues, our country is dividing further. There is an undercurrent of fear and anger both on the right and on the left.

There is definitely something happening here and what it is ain't exactly clear. But I don't like it....


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

I think 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 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

1. I was around during the 60s, I remember the 60s (OK, no jokes),

and this is not the 60s.

2. ehh.. yeah it is only nobody is willing to really get out and protest anymore.

3. And a war with a military draft and a large number of casualties

had something to do with it.

4. what are you planning on protesting that will change anything

protesting creates jobs only if protestors spend money protesting
