i am a child of the sixties...those were my formative years and as such have shaped my way of seeing and doing things...there is nothing atypical about me...so here it is...

"when i was a child, i thought as a child, i spoke as a child
i didn't know better
but now i'm a man, i look like a man, i'm old as a man
and i should know better..." tr

nobody said it would be fair...

snafu...that old army acronym for "situation normal all fucked up" for some strange reason just popped into my head. this is not an inordinate occurrence, but it does happen frequently enough. maybe it's because we seem to be living in a gigantic snafu right now. if you think about it, what isn't all fucked up right now? okay, one thing: bush is gone, but other than that?
the puppet masters are currently waging at least six wars:
   against iraq
   against afghanistan
   against terror
   against drugs
   against our civil liberties (remember those?)
   against common sense
there are probably more, but these come readily to mind. this is fucked up.
the economy is fucked up.
the job market is fucked up. 
the real estate market is fucked up.
the auto industry is fucked up.
gasoline prices are fucked up.
manufacturing is fucked up.
the education system is fucked up.
immigration is fucked up.
homelessness is fucked up.
the health care system is fucked up. 
the banking system is fucked up.
wall street is fucked up.
the ports are fucked up.
the airports are fucked up.
the infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc) is fucked up.
bail outs are fucked up.
the two party system is definitely fucked up.
so, it seems to me that pretty much everything is fucked up...

one definition of normal is: according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle.  conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern

so if everything is fucked up, then fucked up is normal, hence snafu.
one gigantic snafu.
