We wait in vain for Truth spoken plain Selfish politicians, agenda-driven to them, our aspirations given Above, God looks on in dismay Perchance to replace us someday

I've always ridiculed doomsdayers. Now I am one. Australia is probably saf-ish, unless somebody decides to use us for another offshore war. Elizabeth

Funny. Over the last year, I've become optimistic about the future. Have met so many young adults with so much energy and who are doing great things. They'll outlast all the nonsense of today, which history will 'adore' of course, just like the screwed-up sixties, culminating in 'Woodstock' -- 400 acres of mud, drugs, sex, and raucous music. Bleaaah! ~ Just talkin' 'bout my 'generation.'

I suspect this is what will happen, gw. And, if you are referring to politicians being "replaced," it cannot come too soon.

Actually, I was referring to us earthlings being replaced...

Truth here Gershon. I'm leaning towards Lopez in the Mayoral race against Lightfoot but I want to hear what Johnson has to say (I believe he will be announcing this week, the CTU just donated $350k to his campaign)

I don't blame you one bit...my oldest daughter is in San Diego and every visit out there makes me want to stay

I'm leaning toward leaving the city, actually. Don't think anyone wants to pay the price for a safe, friendly city. ~ Just sayin'

Perhaps he'll just upgrade the "AI" creatures he tossed out of the garden....
