HowardThe First (and last) Time- Lifehouse
the Last Time the System went Broke
Lifehouse in yellow
We're all looking for something;
We've been afraid to see;;
A way to save the world that’s broken;
A dark age bursts extremely;;
Looking at war, Iran on my breath
Is it connected to the financial system’s death?
Take a chance to see the connection inside;
I'm feeling the 50 trillion in cash again
As fast as Ben prints hundreds to fins
Feeling the crash, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, Sick shooters fright;
Killing with pessimism, threaten tonight;
Like Michael Milliken destroying last time
The world that could blow up now;
Can be saved by action now;
Waking me up from dreaming
FDR solutions in my eyes;
Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life I'm scared to death;
We're crashing;
We're lost in this;
Can’t we get back home;
Killing with pessimism, threatens tonight;
Worse than Michael Milliken destruction last time;

The scariest part of the “Global Warming Scare” is that it is used to create a huge amount of pessimism in the population. Many efforts to feed the hungry of poor nations have been subverted and destroyed by “appropriate, green technology.” First nuclear power was trashed, now even burning coal has become a crime. This is against the ideas of Vernadsky, the great Russian bio-chemist, and the idea that man and his technology actually helps develop the no-osphere, the part of the earth affected by man’s mind.
Instead, look at the on-surge of the dark age, which ties together recent events typical of New York's and London's financial center, with both the Jokela High School massacre, and the very ugly death of a young English woman, in Perugia, Italy. All three of these and comparable signs of these, our present times, mark these reported events as sharing the characteristic of the events which a judge in Perugia reported, as driven by an ostensibly uncontrollable yearning for an "extreme" quality of existentialist experience, by at least some among the surviving participants. These are experiences which, when combined, might be described as a kind of dionysian event expressing some particularly worrying characteristics of our presently onrushing, global "new dark age."
Such horrible personal extremism is promoted by MySpace and through other social networks. Yet, Hank Paulson, printing endless dollars to keep a bankrupt system going, isn’t this also extreme? The extremes of the system are hitting everyday people. These are omens, like the soothsayer saying "Beware the Ides of March" in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

Oh, Howard... my new book is finished and will go to the publisher in a few days. You're mentioned in it (via the comments you have made.) I'll let you know when the "pre-sale" starts, if you like.
