RETRO-SPECTIVE THE DECADES PRESENT:2000s or Making It Up as We Go Along!It occurred to me that today is tomorrow's yesterday, and that while I research the decades past, tomorrow's history is happening as I write this! At first I thought I would work my way up, but then I realized that all of the advertisements that fly through my inbox and clog up my real mailbox are a gold mine of information! Up until now I just found them irritating =). So if you are not interested in the present because you are busy living it yourself, just skip this section; I don't want to irritate you with more ads and oh-god-not-more-of-that-again current events and news stories! I mean, you know George W. Bush is the President and that his wife's name is Laura and that Dick Cheney our Vice President shot his friend by accident and that his friend lived etc. We take it all for granted...we are sick of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston and that other Blond Chick that looks like that Other Blond Chick that is getting divorced from so-and-so because he slept with the first blond chick (not really) and what about the kids, who cares? You know that in the United States, this decade has been, and will continue to be, defined by ONE SINGLE DAY. One sunny, beautiful, warm, end of summer day, a Tuesday, that started out so innocently and turned into the stuff nightmares are made of. You know that because of that day, mothers are again losing their sons, AND their daughters now too (Progress...), to roadside bombs and gunfire yet again in a place called IRAQ. That we couldn't just leave it be...start out the new millennium without a war. We wouldn't be human if we did that, we would have evolved into something else. Not that we aren't busy trying. Our scientists are busy making maps that no one even knew 50 years ago were even needed. The things growing in the Petri dishes of today will make the viruses and bacteria of yesteryear hide themselves in simplistic shame; It won't be long now until we find the key to unlock the big mystery called US. The human bean. Even the most die-hard atheist has to see the allegorical similarity to our Friends Adam, Eve and the Snake. (Don't worry if you don't...Hollywood is working on the movie as we speak. ) You can watch it on YouTube. RH November 2008 Presidential ElectionToday is September 8th, 2007. The race for the election to be the next President of the United States is well underway, although we have yet to reach the primaries and establish who will be our two final contestants!
The Democrats seemed poised to make history by either nominating a black (man) or a (white) woman as their candidate for president. We still care about these things in 2007 you see, and this will be the first time in U.S. American history that such a thing occurs.
