The Times They Need Some Changin'

We have been on this slow decline for some time now. Not a very steep one, but a slow one so no one would notice until it's too late. Well here we are, gasoline over $3.20 a gallon, your average family car over $25,000 and college costs astronomical. And what are we doing about it? NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING! When gas was $1.00 a gallon we bitched but got over it. Now we think we got a deal when we pay $3.07. A friend of mine is a realtor. I was told that a customer said he just got through paying his college loans off and now he's paying for his sons loans. Guess what?? He didn't qualify for the house he wanted. don't worry, the colleges will raise tuition again because now a bachelors degree is equal to the high school diploma of the 60's and 70's. You need a masters to get a decent job. The presidential candidates keep saying they will lower this and lower that and make it easier on the middle-class but nothing will change until we start fighting back. How? I have a lot of ideas. Some good and some hare-brained but ideas none the less. How is it that we of the 60's generation could protest hard enough to end the war in Vietnam but no one seems to give a crap about this insane war. You hear people say, and it is true, that not as many service men and women have died compared to the Vietnam war but the fact remains that the big buck corporations are getting rich on our soldiers, sailors and airmens blood. This war is been going on for 5 years now. Vietnam was 10. Something has to give. Where is this generations Abby Hoffman. If your out there, get these kids motivated. NOW!
