Subject: slumping towards Bethlehem...

This is a message of thanks (but no thanks) and gratitude to Adelina Axelrod Winston Watnik Nancy Garrett et. al. who have, over the past few years, sought to entice me onto Facebook w/ repeated invites - i am flattered and grateful that anyone actually still remembers me, but having lived under the radar and off the grid for so long i am loathe to present any type of profile for sneaky surveillance activities. (Ý'm writing this on a public computer at the local library in a backwater town of the
Turkish Aegean). By now i've lived more (much more) of my life outside the U.S. than in and still cringe at the idea of coming in from the cold...(for what? those dwindling Baby Boomer entitlements...)Living the marginal homesteading lifestyle in the 3rd world suits me (for those who remember my buxom frame i am now a clean lean machine of necessity - it takes a lot of energy to live like this) and anyway the party for the whole planet is definitely over and i would dub this summer's global weather (either drought or flood overall indicating a serious imbalance in the global weather system) the first breach into a new irreversible era of catastrophic climatic changes which in turn will engender a desparate and vicious scramble for remaining energy sources.
So let's celebrate ourselves and our golden youth and all the crazy fun times we had but don't forget that the world
(its weather its geopolitics) slipped out of gear on our generation's watch, that it was bad boy Bill Clinton (the guy who felt so familiar to us like the guy you'd pass the joint to at a party)who signed the NAFTA Act and let slip the dogs of global trade loose as well as repealing the Glass-Steagal Act and let the bankers off their hooks hence the current banking conundrum.
Also for the first time since i quit U.S. shores i will not be voting in the upcoming election it's obvious at this point there's no real policy differences between the two parties, just differences of degree or emphasis. Obama
the Nobelpeace prize drone-prince has both broken my heart and stunned me with brazenly casual dismissal of constitutional rights at home his dismissive attitude towards international law his 'kill lists' etcç - in particular his craven stance towards the Ýsraeli lobby and failure to support the Palestinians is one of expedient moraw cowardice. Boycott the elction!!!
Ý shall chime in from time to time now that i have found the Franconia Pages - greetings to Skip Lau of whom i have fond memories (as his Film Night asst. he used to pay me in hash) Ýs Bill Congdon still alive anybody know?
cheers from the phryghana - marita
