     "...But tell me how far is it from the
bottom..."  said the late great Peter Tosh.
     We only wonder how far the cycles of excess and greed
that deprive the masses of their "pale parabola of
joy", modest or not, will go before people realize the
nature of the game.
     Bush's family's whole history for those who bother to pay
attention smacks of the fascist rich trying to cling to their
privileges and tyranny over everyone else.
     I just say the simple pleasures and perhaps a little hope
for the future of life is all many of us ask for, yet we are
always caught up in the battle against the powerful who rarely
treat anyone but themselves with respect and decency.  So we
ask the younger generation to join with us in rejecting the
program of the rich and powerful, and have fun in a balanced
and decent and respectful society.  I hope you can come to
that conclusion out of truthful inspiration rather than
pragmatic realization that they're taking everything away, but
either way, we aim to persevere.
