Where did it go????.....

‘Way back when me ‘n the world were young....well, you know ‘n so do I that the world has been around far longer than me ‘n it’s gonna be around long after I’m dead, gone ‘n forgotten.....prob’ly long after humanity is dead, gone ‘n forgotten....after all, the world survived the loss of the dinosaurs, didn’t it?......Well, the really big dinosaurs anyway.....the small ones survive to this very day.....They (the ubiquitous ones) say the shark has survived for millenia in the self-same incarnation as today....all the climate change the world has gone through over the millenia hasn’t done much to change it..
Man, though, is changing that, at least for the shark...Oh not thru climate change, no,no...we're just killing them...shark fin soup 'n magic potions.....if we keep going, we’ll kill off a creature that is so perfectly formed for survival that it has resisted all effort to evolve.....of course, it could be that evolution, like so many of our proud achievements ‘n discoveries, is a scientific dead-end and Darwin was (gasp) wrong. Now, that is a very un PC statement ‘n spurs immediate argument ‘n criticism from all the politically correct Liberal-thinkers....which is odd, when ‘n if you think about stuff like that, becuz they are the very ones that should be challenging everything....’n I have to wonder why they ain’t....
Back in the halycon days of the hippies, those wondrous magical golden days of the ‘sixties, the liberal youth challenged the belief system of their elders... Youngthink! “Damnation, Charles, it’s downright blasphemous ‘n shouldn’t be allowed.” “Never trust anyone over thirty.” “Out with the old, in with the new.”
“Tune in, turn on, ‘n drop out!”.....Ahhhh, where have all the flowers gone?
Walmart has a line of products called, “Faded Glory”...most of which seems to have been made in China ’n the US of A seems t’be heading that same direction, sinking in a morass of our own making with over half of our diverse and wonderfully self-sufficient population clamoring for the right to be put on the dole.....about sixty percent of the population at this time wants the other forty percent to support them.....redistribute the wealth, pay for my medical marijuana, make my house payments for me and give me a big-screen teevee.....but, y’gotta wonder how long the forty percent is gonna work to do that....when it drops to thirty percent or twenty percent....or less....
“gone to graveyards, every one...”
