Aw. Ow, Ouch! Things ain't no fun no more....

I really miss the bad old days of the latter Cold War, when at least we knew who our Frenemies were! It's hard to believe now, but President Ronald Rogaine could be a bit of fun, with his fully-demented, rather cordial, dysfunctional, kinda joshing anger and hatred. I'm not unaware of the slaughter and suffering the Reaganauts caused, what with the Central American Death Squad Syndrome, and the like. I don't mean to downplay the down-side of the '70's and '80's. But at least the denizens of the "other side" were good for a laugh and a half. Where are all the fine ideological adversaries I used to enjoy sparring with - nowadays, the ignorance of the "average Tea Bagger" is to such a point, my opponents don't even rise to the level where I might confer on them a minimal measure of respect. To say nothing of the "I-couldn't-care-less" crowd. There's just no satisfaction to be gained anymore. Practically all my real fiends from back in the day are either too busy, too alienated, moved too far away, dead or.... a couple are in prison of course, despite their advanced age. I mean you'd think they would have "chilled" as regards their traditional "criminal activity." There just ain't no fun in it anymore. Shucks, gawsh, gadzooks and egads! Very nearly all the drugs I used to enjoy in great profusion don't do anything positive for me, now. I never saw THAT one coming, and THAT''s really weird, Things just ain't the same, ain't now and never will be, no-how. Worse yet, the "MUSIC" the kids like these days.... It's just NOISE!
