Question

we lived with the TWO MINUTE WARNING before global extinction.
Wars from Korea to Vietnam, Cyprus, Suez,Israel and Egypt, Rhodesia, Namibia, Ghana, Milawi, Hungary and a few more.
Riots in the street everywhere..UK, France, Germany, Italy, USA, China and Japan, Hong Kong and Chairman Maos Cultural Revolution.
Terrorists everywhere..Maost, Cubans, Che Gevarra, The Red Brigade, Badder Meinhoff and of cousre the dear old IRA.
Bombs going off in train stations, bus stations, cruise ships not forgetting aircraft.
Teachers who knocked your lights out and suffered from WWII brain damage.
Police like Nazis who clubbed you from charging horses.
We survived all that with no money, no condoms, no Pill or hope for the next day nevermind the future. All we had was The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Pot. So what's wrong with your world.
