1. What is with the incoherent posts in GD these days?
It seems folks are mistaking it for a chat room....and a snippet of a conversation gets posted that makes no sense.

2. Yeah, but us old folks get it.
Should I tell her?

Yes? It's Dylan.

It's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard;
it's a hard rain's gonna fall.

3. I knew it was Dylan
And, strangely enough, that didn't make it any less pointless and incoherent...:evilgrin:

8. Exactly
and it'd be different if it were just this one we "old folks" know is from Dylan. It's happening with increasing frequency. Guess this "old folk" just longs for the days when DU GD used to be a wealth of info instead of everyone's personal lounge.

5. It's really hard to hold onto
any sense of reality when we have what's going on down in the Gulf, and with 500 Iraqi's who stampeded to their death, while our Government is absent.

It's hard to understand all that's happened since the 2000 Selection...and after awhile "I can understand a black branch with blood that kept dripping and a room full of men with their hammers a bleeding"

It's the bizarre images of those words in this time of unreality that seems more real that what our eyes tell us.

What an awful time we live in...and who would have thought it would end up like this way back when there was hope and there were a few "good folks" in charge and responsible. :-( And, there's no way to get away from it, if one cares about anything besides themselves, these days.

:rant:

7. I suppose we have our own interpretation of "words"....
and they are just "words"...

Judges = a room full of men with their hammers a bleeding... =justice
A black branch with blood that kept dripping = black people that continue to suffer ...
A white ladder all covered with water = ?????
