I feel that our generation somehow lost our direction. Perhaps those that were destined for greatness forgot about the cost of peace. Perhaps those of us in the trenches forgot that there was a time when we worked for peace.

Maybe now is the little glitch in the matrix, the little hiccup in the scheme of things that will let us older hippies regroup and obtain what we promised, hoped and begged for way back then.

Yes, you got the 'Nam song right. My BIL, fresh from there used to sing that. It sounded like you were witnessing a window into hell.

Remember the calmer, but sad song called, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" Its gentle lyrics and childlike song seemed rather wistfull, but when it got to the dead soldiers it always made me cry.

Peace
