Re: Jay
Jay wars have bedevilled man since the beginning of time, but of course once the the great men were there in the midst of it. The ones who propose it should put their the ass where their mouth is.

And that's the way it was.
My children have never known such, nor my grandchildren. Things are different now--yet not different enough. There still is war and fighting, hatred and discriminations. I guess it will always be so.

Wonderful poem and for me it was a reminder that 2 of my 3 brothers came back from Europe alive, Terry and Joe, and Michael was shot down and killed in the Himalayas and I still miss my oldest brother like it was yesterday.

I remember it well - we ran to the roof of our 5-story tenement and
screamed our agreement with the happy chaos down on Grand Concourse - toilet paper, horns, dancing, people waving out their windows. I've never seen or felt anything like it! What a thrill, all those people coming together as one. Not quite the same, but the announcement of JFK'S assassination is about the only thing I could compare it to - a whole nation reacting as one. We were somehow bigger than ourselves. 9/11, too. We discovered briefly that we were brothers and sisters.

It is happening again CCT, it's just that we have been blinded to it, as we were in Chamberlin's day. That hate of those days still lives in the hearts of evil men who it is politically incorrect to point at. I thought your poetry today was superb. A picture of time so many of us have never known. I pray they will never need to, but through my studies and my research my heart knows better.
