Pumps' Perplexities

Being one that believes that "history" is only measured


during one's own life span, than to me the world changed


in the late 1960's......





The changes occurred in the generation after mine.......Us


of the WWII "growing up" generation do not have an


assigned name......It was the "Boomers" and their "free


love", "anything goes" attitude in the late 60's that changed


the world......While the "free spirits" did "their thing", there


were other people who saw these actions as "sins against


their God"......It was during the late 60's that radical Islam


was born........The Egyptian-Israel war of 1967 did not


help matters either.......





It was the classic clash of ideas, religion and ideology.....There


are many names given to this clash.......I will submit


"burka vs. bikini"........





Nations conquer other nations.....Little "cells" of devoted


Islamics will do nothing but be a "burr under the saddle" of


humanity and a footnote in history.......Currently nations


are "living" with one another......The world has become too


complicated for one country to truly dominate......





The world is full of "pissed-off" people and it always has been


so.......Prior to the '60's they just hid in a corner and cried,


now they can blow themselves up and enjoy their last few


seconds of live by "getting even" with a few others......





Come to think of it, did they not close all the mental hospitals


in the '60's?........Pumps
