I was walking across the UNF campus after having had lunch at the Boathouse, the eatery upstairs in the Student Union, when I spied a banner hanging from the second-floor walkway of the Brooks Health Sciences building. The banner, in very large black letters, said, "STOP THE WAR." I nearly stumbled, because suddenly I had the feeling that I had been transported back forty-seven years (oy! It has been that long!) to my time at Florida State University, the first time I went to college. That time, of course, the war we wanted stopped was in Vietnam. But it certainly did feel like deja vu all over again.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Post a Comment
Relevant and intelligent comments are welcome. I have had to turn on moderation and "captcha" again because for the past several days, I have been getting nothing but irritating, inane spam. Sorry, but them's the berries.
I reserve the right to delete comments which are irrelevant, which try to sell a product or push an agenda, or which contain any of the words George Carlin couldn't say on TV. Please post your comments in a language I can read, those being English and Spanish. (I'll translate Spanish comments so others can read them, if necessary). I'm sorry, but I cannot read other languages, and since I do not know what might be being said, I will have to delete comments in languages which I cannot read.
