Whatever Happened To All Those Cab Drivers With Phd's

Whatever happened to all those cab drivers in Madison, Wisconsin with PhD's back in the 1970's? How are all the college kids doing who cut off a finger or toe in order to avoid get drafted for the War in Vietnam? How many domestic terrorists with blood on their hands are leading respectable lives with forged identities? Bernadine Dohrn, 'College Professor' - ex-Leader of the 'Weather Underground'... Do you sleep at night? Whatever became of all those long-hairs in the pictures at Woodstock Music Festival in New York in 1969? How about all those backpackers searching for Truth, who dived deep into cults like Hari Krishna and the Moonies? Wuddya say, Ginni Thomas? Where have all the flowers gone? ... They've gone the way of ANTIFA, of BLM, of Seattle, WA, of Portland, OR, of all the 'Sanctuary Cities' and George-Soros backed Prosecuting Attorneys who refuse to prosecute, of CRT, of the 1619 Project, of endless COVID lockdowns, of 'The Squad' and of 'wokeness' But if you ask me, if America could survive the Cuban Missile Crisis, Castro, Mao, Watergate, Sadam Hussein, Monica Lewinsky, Bin-Laden, 9/11, the Dotcom Bust, the ENRON and Arthur Anderson scandals, the Great Recession, the Real Estate bubble, and Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton, then I guess we can survive about anything

CHEERS! Just don't forget the bird flu, and to this day, I still can't drink Wild Turkey. Ha ha. Although I cannot lie, I am a mask wearer. Insightful and interesting poem Sir Gershon that I am glad to have found in your collection.

Gershon what an in depth observation that only a man of Virtue and high Intelligence can derive of U S History and events. Your words are words of wisdom and common sense, at the highest level. A Narrative that only a fool would argue with. It is if you will, a reincarnation of these misguided souls, attempting foolish actions in today's world. I really like the Truths you have shared. This one is a Favorite. Enjoy your day my friend...

Michael, what can I say? Your praise is overwhelming, esp. since I know that I am far from 'virtuous.' Plus any common sense I may have came from decades of hard knocks. ~ Gershon, Summa Cum Laude Graduate of 'Atsamata U!'

I fully agree Gershon, there's not much that can put a dent in your great country, not even dog Putin. Tom

We seem to be the Teflon country. Reminds me of Peter Sellers Pink Panther roles where he is constantly the object of assassination attempts, each one narrowly missing.

Well, a penny is better than kidney stones, methinks. ~ Barn Swallow
