You saw the glory of America in the period after the end of WWII and that is an experience no one alive will ever see (again). I’m not suggesting it’s a consolation, but I saw enough of America’s heyday to be grateful to have experienced it.

Perhaps you’ve already done something like this (I’m new to your writings) but to read something about your own personal assessment of America during these years would interest me, speaking as an individual. American society and culture have become so debased (it’s almost imperative to avoid the “news”) that it’s clear you will be writing for the older among us, or perhaps for the non-West of the longer run future.

I can remember reading Faulkner and Steinbeck and realizing there was an America, and a time in America, that was invisible to me. Judging from the young people in my local library, there will be no future generation interested in history, the past in general, and how we became what we are today.

Happy birthday, Julian!

I'm counting on the swing states to go Green for Jill Stein. Messes with all the purple fascists' minds.

'Now, at almost 78, I am returning to what I once was. As we get older, so should we all.'

Yeah, as we get older, it's all about piss and vinegar. We don't care what anybody says, because we are in our own skin. "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." --The Byrds

The P-800 Onyx blows my mind how it takes off like a snipe. Snipes are challenging game birds because they take off like a P-800. Although they're flying away from you they're difficult to hit so low on the deck. Imagine a dozen P-800's coming at you!

Thanks, but I'd much rather not! 8-)

‘The end of the dollar?’ Not for a long time. China, Saudi Arabia and many other countries hold vast amounts of US dollars, it is not in their interests to have a weak dollar. For ‘multi-polar’ read uni-polar i.e. a One World Government. That is the agenda driven by the global banksters with their PR agencies the UN, WEF, IMF, Fabians etc. It was ever thus.
