The Beatles were an impetus to activism right & wrong ! Paul MC is just prolonging the making of money for as long as the gullible spend it !

" Paul MC is just prolonging the making of money..."

Unfortunately there is a category of no-hopers who think that being cynical in their abject ignorance somehow reveals their sophistication. They're wrong but too ignorant to understand it and too inane to have it explained to them.

The real problem is that people don't seem to 'get' what is happening, or being done to, Western civilisation. If they ever find out, it will be too late to 'escape'; and certainly people my age (same as McCartney) don't get listened to.

Nor are thinkers like this read:

"The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions which seem to be novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false". (Paul Johnson', quoted in 'Intellectuals and Society', by Thomas Sowell).

There is a conference called ARC - Association for Responsible Citizenship going on in London, which would give more scope for hope than an old Beatle could, but no one here would want to know about that either, so there's no point telling them where to find it.

The songs of the Beatles are even more relevant
today:

"In My Life."

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

And who can forget this one:

"Imagine."

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

The world certainly needs love today.

All you need is love, love is all you need!

Indyvidual,

Sometimes the issue is simply that
your ceiling is their floor.
