[AGL] Moment of Nostalgia

[Charles Loving]

I read everything, Marx, Engles, and so forth.  And yes this is another
propaganda script but, I have always thought that nothing in politics ever
changes, just the names. No one protects the innocent.

The only change can be from the pandemic if it really does wipe out a
majority of the population and Climate Change if it wipes out a majority of
the population. I doubt that I will see that in the few years I have left
but maybe. Famine seems to be ready to strike in the Middle East and Africa
again. And India is really in trouble. It will be slow death by a thousand
cuts or maybe a bold strike that will kill thousands in one wack. The
nuclear plant the just opened in Abu Dabhi is defenseless. That could be a
nifty disaster that kills millions.
