That Mike P--he’s got lotsa stuff worth coveting!
I think, for most aspects of life, there is this ‘pendulum motion’Dark ages to
‘enlightnement’, from ‘50’s nuclear family to ‘60’s ‘free love’ and sort of back
again...
It’s much like one part of society gets this great idea, and lots of other
people say “Hey, that’s a great idea!” and they all jump on the bandwagon, and
then they go just a little too far on that particular trolley, and then someone
else says, “Hey! Maybe we’ve gone down this particular path too far, and mayhaps
should go back the other way for a bit--there were some pretty nifty things back
there as well!”, and then lotsa people get on that one, and the ‘bandwagon’ goes
back the other way for a while...
I say as long as the pendulum doesn’t get too far to either extreme, we’ll do
pretty much okay. Right now Dubya and cronies are taking it too far one way,
and people are starting to balk. It’s what makes the system, in the grande
scope of all things Human, actually work.
