The Eastern World It Tis Explodin', violence flarin', bullets loadin', you're old enough to kill but not for votin', you don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin', and even the Jordan river has bodies floatin', but you tell me over and over and over again my friend, ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say? Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today? If the button is pushed, there's no running away, There'll be noone to save with the world in a grave, take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy, but you tell me over and over and over again my friend, ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin', I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin', I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation, handful of Senators don't pass legislation, and marches alone can't bring integration, when human respect is disintegratin', this whole crazy world is just too frustratin', and you tell me over and over and over again my friend, ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction. Think of all the hate there is in Red China! Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama! Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space, but when you return, it's the same old place, the poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace, you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace, hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace, and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend, ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Speaking of big brother. Has anybody opened a bank account lately? I opened one this weekend at Bank One and they required finger prints. The lady claimed it was because of new government regulations related to 9-11. Also said they run your name through some kind of database to see if you are "shady" or not. I was curious to know if the finger printing thing was really a government related requirement or just bank policy. I can't imagine how it would work for online accounts as they are opened without ever even seeing another person.

Earlie, Eventually, geneticists will determine how to scan your unique DNA from a distance, and later still, they will discover how to do so through your clothes and other solid objects. At that point, every human being will be placed into a tracing database and they will be tracked via satellite, a la GPS. ID cards will be rendered obsolete. They will always KNOW who you are, where you are, and every miniscule detail about you and your life. Further into the future still, scientists will learn how to decode your brain's electrochemical impulses, so as to interpret exactly what you are thinking, and what all of your thoughts and memories are. If you are deemed to be a risk to the controllers, or you are otherwise outside the realm of what the controllers want you to be, you will be involuntarily biologically and genetically modified to fit the profile they have defined for you. Hopefully before then, a gigantic asteroid will plow into the planet and send us back to the beginning. Perhaps the "Human Race Redux" can get this life thing right the second time. I won't hold my breath. I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. Definitely NG... John
