|
||||
Loosely termed "the Eighties". The Eighties are almost over. Prepare
|
||||
ourselves for the nineties. This has definitely been a decade of superior
|
||||
change, needless to say. Reagan took to the Presidency. Negotiation with the
|
||||
Soviet Union. Summits. Where are we headed? Gorbachev announces a situation of
|
||||
"Glasnost". Openess? Where are we headed?
|
||||
|
||||
A decade of music. Styles. Rock. Roll. Transformation from a period of good
|
||||
solid music. Creedence Clearwater Revival. Led Zeppelin. Boston. From seventies
|
||||
to eighties, our tastes and styles in music have changed. To soft rock, movie
|
||||
soundtracks. Michael Jackson. Prince. Chicago. Duran Duran. Van Halen.
|
||||
Madonna. Onto Whitesnake, Guns N' Roses, Skid Row, Metallica. Onto Slayer,
|
||||
Megadeth, AC/DC, Anthrax, Manilla Road, Tesla, Ozzy and Lita. Where are we
|
||||
headed?
|
||||
|
||||
An age of arms reductions. We want peace: can we achieve it? Where are we
|
||||
headed? Long-range missles. Short-range missles. Are they needed? Can
|
||||
peace be achieved to a point of total DEFENSELESSNESS? As Reagan's second
|
||||
term ends, so begins the term of his vice-president, George Bush.
|
||||
|
||||
Bush knew Reagan's aims. Bush strives to achieve the same peace, a commitment
|
||||
to understanding the world and its problems. Is he screwing us over? Screwing
|
||||
things up? Where are we headed? Bush may get a second term in office. Maybe
|
||||
not. Should he? We can't even locate Manuel Noriega in Panama of all the
|
||||
shitty embarrassing things. Did our great country find him? No. Noriega turned
|
||||
HIMSELF in to political asylum. Where are we headed? Is this the kind of force
|
||||
that will be our backbone in real war and chaos? Maybe so.
|
||||
|
||||
The Middle East. The Gaza Strip. The Persian Gulf. Tankers and carriers
|
||||
shredded, the warmth and essence of life within destroyed. Planes shot down.
|
||||
Families torn. Is this any token of "world peace"? Can we stop it? Where are
|
||||
we headed? Are we plunging headfirst into chaotic darkness?
|
||||
|
||||
Lybia. The eighties held for us a time in the Mediterranean. Shooting down
|
||||
planes. Defending ourselves and the morals we stand for. Khaddafi. Real
|
||||
leader or egotistical son of a bitch? I imagine his mother WAS a bitch but
|
||||
that's beside the point. He ran, he hid. Assumed dead. No. He was alive even
|
||||
after our great men bombed the hole. Destroyed a city. Innocent bystanders
|
||||
in the grip of an enemy. Where were we headed? We have achieved an amount of
|
||||
peace but is it enough?
|
||||
|
||||
The latter times. East Berlin. Citizens tasting a "freedom" for the first
|
||||
time. Is it a real freedom? The Berlin Wall coming down (coming down, Berlin
|
||||
Wall is coming down, my fair lady... oh excuse me that's "London Bridge"),
|
||||
sledgehammers, concerned citizens, long for freedom. Is it real? Should it
|
||||
be real? Recent chaos in Rumania. Further destruction in Europe? Where are
|
||||
we headed? Is this peace we so strive to reach really grabbing hold and taking
|
||||
effect?
|
||||
|
||||
Drugs. They are here, they have been here. In the eighties the scare of
|
||||
drugs has emerged and blown in our faces. Drugs are everywhere, can they be
|
||||
stopped? The eighties brought on the scare of AIDS. AIDS. A seemingly
|
||||
invincible killer. Science. It strives to annihilate the AIDS virus.
|
||||
Breakthroughs are being made everyday in the field, treatments for AIDS,
|
||||
cancer, leukemia, heart disease. Lasers. The medical field can use this
|
||||
technology to a great advantage. The eighties is not entirely bad. Health.
|
||||
Healthier lives lived. Longer lifespans for all. But Hunger.
|
||||
|
||||
Hunger. The eighties brought about groups of concerned citizens of the world
|
||||
to help relieve the hunger crisis in poor African third-world countries.
|
||||
Money. Food. Supplies. Where did they go? Many reports say alot of money went
|
||||
to fund huge office parties in England. To buy bullshit for RICH people.
|
||||
Hunger. In Africa. World effort? They are still hunger. Were our efforts
|
||||
fruitful? Where are we headed? Is this peace and bonding together holding in
|
||||
our tie with Africa? No. They are hungry. But we have our own problems.
|
||||
Problems that need to be solved above all others.
|
||||
|
||||
Again drugs. Drug cartels forming armies to fight and take over Colombian
|
||||
government. A cry for help. Can we not stop it? But we have our own problems.
|
||||
But the problem in Colombia affects us. Drug imports. Drugs on the streets.
|
||||
New drugs. Ecstacy. Ice. Crack. All of which have risen to popularity in the
|
||||
so GLAMOROUS period of the eighties. Children dying. Children SELLING. No
|
||||
more than ten years old, on the streets pushing dope. AIDS again. Drug users
|
||||
sharing dirty needles. Spreading.
|
||||
|
||||
Sexual spread of AIDS. Adult shops. Pornographic times. Kinky sex. Sex fads.
|
||||
Can they be stopped? Should they be stopped? People are free to fuck as they
|
||||
wish, yet the spread of AIDS and the death it can bring sheds no effect on
|
||||
those who are at high risk? Prostitutes? Whores?
|
||||
|
||||
Oliver North trials. A landmark in the eighties. A big deal. Was he a good
|
||||
man? Some say he was. Others not. He "couldn't remember" jack SHIT. Was he
|
||||
defending his country, or just fucking around? Where ARE we headed?
|
||||
|
||||
Televangelists. As popular or even MORE popular than the Iran-Contra scandal,
|
||||
it rose to a screaming popular high. Everyone knew about it. Jim Bakker.
|
||||
His bitch Tammy Faye. Dripping make-up. Alot of it became a joke to many. But
|
||||
a so-called "religious and God-fearing man" stole hundreds of millions of
|
||||
dollars from his "ministry" for his own use. An air-conditioned dog house.
|
||||
And people LIKED this man? Jimmmy Swaggart. Convulsive face shaking and
|
||||
bawling and begging the church for his forgiveness? A man that some people
|
||||
thought GOOD? Where are we headed?
|
||||
|
||||
Saturday Night Live. Satires of all the events of the eighties. Many well
|
||||
portrayed. There'll never be another John Belushi, but the new cast of the
|
||||
show has portrayed Our Decade's events well. Political issues. Religious
|
||||
issues. Moral issues. Hats off to Dennis Miller for Weekend Update. Hats
|
||||
off to Dana Carvey, Nora Dunn, Jan Hooks, Phil Hartman, John Lovitz and
|
||||
Victoria Jackson for their acting ability and portrayal. Nora Dunn for
|
||||
hers of one of the Sweenie sisters and of Leona Helmsley. Victoria Jackson
|
||||
for being such a ditz, and for impersonating Zsa Zsa Gabor. Phil Hartman for
|
||||
everything, Jan Hooks for Sweenie sister #2 and most of all - TAMMY FAYE BAKER.
|
||||
Dana Carvey for Church Lady! John Lovitz for Tommy Flanagan and Master
|
||||
Thespian. But enough of that bullshit.
|
||||
|
||||
The eighties started off with a bang. Which is a bad choice of words since
|
||||
the occurrence of the Challenger incident. Good people, going to space to
|
||||
do great service in our space program. An explosion. A dream shattered.
|
||||
Families and children shattered. It stayed with us. It was long before we
|
||||
return on our space venture. We have sent up satellites. All kinds. But
|
||||
much space junk. Star Wars. The first half of the eighties brought about the
|
||||
Star Wars controversy. Our space program is improving rapidly as our
|
||||
technology improves. Soon we may have manned missions to Mars. Shall
|
||||
technology and science improved, our goal may be achieved. Does it serve
|
||||
a purpose though? Maybe so. Where is our space program headed?
|
||||
|
||||
The sun is ever expanding outward. It is supposed to, in several million
|
||||
years, heat the Earth to lifelessness, finally expanding outward and
|
||||
engulfing it. But will we burn our own selves up before the sun expands
|
||||
any further? Greenhouse effect. A major issue. Chemicals, toxic fog.
|
||||
Smog in cities. Dirty air. Carbon dioxide heating the Earth. Ozone holes.
|
||||
Why are we destroying our major protection from the sun's harmful rays? We
|
||||
WANT to stay alive, have a safe planet for our children and descendants to
|
||||
live on. And now in our own lifetimes we are destroying our planet? Where
|
||||
in the HELL are we HEADED?
|
||||
|
||||
Save the whales. Greenpeace. I want to find out more about them and their
|
||||
goals. They are not only saving whales but other animals. Certain endangered
|
||||
types of marine life. Porpoises. Tuna fishermen killing porpoises uselessly.
|
||||
Arbor Day Foundation. Plant trees. Rain forests. Leveled. We show concern
|
||||
for our atmosphere but yet we burn down trees, trees which convert the heating
|
||||
carbon dioxide into fresh oxygen and energy for animals? Why? Where are we
|
||||
headed?
|
||||
|
||||
Polar shift. Earthquakes. Tornadoes. Hurricanes. Some say these are reminders
|
||||
from God that we are straying from a spiritual path. We are not worshipping
|
||||
him like we should and are living sinful lives. Others say that these
|
||||
occurrences reflect a major event to happen, possibly a sudden polar shift.
|
||||
Who knows. Utter chaos on our planet. Churches preaching of Rapture. Where
|
||||
are we headed? Only the future can tell us.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
I have asked so many questions. It's pitiful. To have so many things, so little
|
||||
answers. Help us all unite and fight the destruction of our planet. A depleting
|
||||
ozone layer that shields us from harm. Buy non-aerosol hairsprays (for you
|
||||
bitches who use ten tons of a morning). Depletion of natural resources.
|
||||
Adapt your lifestyles to that situation. I should practice what I preach, I
|
||||
am beginning to. It sickens me to see the situation we are in. The world we
|
||||
live in, doused in pitiful shame. The world our CHILDREN will live in.
|
||||
|
||||
So many questions. So few answers.
