True, LH. The problem with increased tensions is that people and countries cross lines and often there is NO way back. The old saying: It's easy to grab a raccoon by the tail. But then ya need ten people to help you let it go. One day the brinksman/womanship will take the world to the edge, and the good fortune of 1962 will no longer be with us all. Makes a guy want to sing, because there's jack-all else a guy can do.


Oh, you playboys an' playgirls
Ain't a-gonna run my world
Ain't a-gonna run my world
Ain't a-gonna run my world
You playboys an' playgirls
Ain't a-gonna run my world
Not now or no other time.


I first learned that song from Gil Turner. After all these years and all these wars, a guy'd think we'd know better by now. Fuck, I really wish I took drugs.
