THE DREAM



I was going down a flight of stairs. On one of the landings I met my dad coming up. He was younger. I was delighted. We hugged, and then I realized that my head only came up to his chest. I looked up, and his head was only a couple of inches from the ceiling. It must have been an old house for the ceiling to be that low. I said, "When I grow up, my head will touch the ceiling." I was sobbing the whole time. He just smiled. Then suddenly, I was grown up and I was looking down at him. He became very old, and collapsed into my arms. I held him as he died.

ZEITGEIST



Sometimes something comes along that says it all again. It brings up all the old issues to a new generation, packaged especially for them. Zeitgeist is such a format. I've recently been reading Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. It was published in the early fifties. Asimov was an athiest, and his books make statements about religion and other pet topics. If he were alive now, he would have authored parts of Zeitgeist. I suggest you watch it. I thought conspiracy theorists were all my age. I had no idea it has all been resurrected on a presentable platter for consumption by a new generation. Watch the movie, and tell me what the agenda is.
