Will We Ever Learn??

YES Joe, I think we'll learn.

"'CUZ THE SUMMER OF '69
Wasn't ALL free love and pass the wine
Excuse ME while I TOUCH the sky...
People started asking, "WHY?"

There's been a lot of water over the dam since the "PEACENIK DAYS" it's true, and sometimes it seems like nothing much has changed but I want you to take a look at the BIGGER PICTURE and ask yourself why that's true?

During the days of the War in Vietnam, when the PUBLIC started screaming for information about what was REALLY GOING ON OVER THERE, our Communication with WORLD EVENTS began growing. Governments can't pull the wool over our eyes anymore. WE HAVE WAYS OF FINDING OUT NOW. This Network, our wonderful iPEACE is one of the ways, but there are thousands of others, like FACEBOOK and TWITTER, along with search engines like GOOGLE and YAHOO!

With the Internet to help us break down barriers and create a climate for FRIENDSHIP between all Nations, I don't see any reason why PEACE can't become a REALITY as long as we all STAND TOGETHER and SUPPORT each other.

Guess I got a little carried away here. I didn't mean to make a SPEECH. It's just the way I feel and I hope my friends do as well. Here's a song by Bryan Adams, one of my countrymen to take us back to the SUMMER OF '69. From his "Kids Wanna Rock" tour, live in Lisbon. Enjoy! --Christie

Richie Haves Said in a lyric" She aches just like a woman, but she breaks just like a little girl"

If we were successful in 1969, there would've been world peace before I was born. What a glorious thought that is!

The Beatles & Stones were the rage
Marched for peace sung on stage
Back from Nam to see how to change
Building a company seemed so strange

Prayed for Martin more then once
There was never going to be a free lunch
Lost my hero's gunned down in blazes
Lost my brain in woodstock hazes

Did we accomplish at the end of the day
The Doors and drugs blew minds away.
Lost our focus and our causes
People had to die to add some clauses

40 years later were still killing children
Our young men die trying to defend
A country that has seemed to lose it's goals
Democracy works slowly don't lose your soul

PEACE AND LOVE
Joe Michael Solomon
