The old quote says "If you can remember the '60s you weren't really there."

Don't think we'll live to see it, but maybe our kids  :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Wouldn't it be great if we all just stopped trying to kill each other and spent the same money trying to get off this dying planet and find another one to wreck?   :fool:

along.Wouldn't it be nice if countries didn't need
weapons and fighting men and spent the money to
help the citizens of the world instead.
