The next time you fall into pessimism ( it happens to me too!) consider the year 1968.
The war in Vietnam was raging, the US lost its 10,000th airplane in the war, the Tet offensive took place, Johnson gave up in seeking
another term as President, the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia, Robert Kennedy was murdered, Martin Luther King was murdered,
Andy Warhol was murdered, the Chinese were making public remarks that an all out nuclear war would be a good thing because
they thought they would survive, the Russians were having tense border clashes with the Chinese and the ground work was set
for a wave of inflation to ripple thru the US economy.
Oh yes, and apparently the world was almost destroyed when a rogue Russian sub tried to fire a one megaton nuclear weapon
at Pearl Harbor - and blame it on the Chinese. That's the assertion of a new book called "Red Star Rogue" that pieces together
confidential sources concerning the mysterious fate of K-129 and its sinking in the Pacific. It is claimed that radicals in the Kremlin
planned the seizure of a nuclear armed sub that strongly resembled a Chinese vessel and attempted to obliterate Hawaii to
trigger a war between the US and Red China. The missile apparently exploded when they tried to launch it and destroyed the
sub with all hands on board, leaving a trail of oil and radioactivity across the Pacific ( the warhead did NOT actually detonate).
....... a very scary book.
Things look bad now - but they've been much worse and the world has survived. Floods, war, famine, disease, you name it
- whether Divine Intervention - just Dumb Luck, the human race muddles thru.
