History repeats Itself--sort of like reincarnate. The old man remembers-- having lived through several cycles.
In conversations with his great granddaughter on her twelfth birthday, he realized he was and still is part of the shell game. He sill gets suckered by the smarter, faster and more-up-to-date. By the plutocrats of course.
It went like this.
Lakota: "Gee Gee Pa, what do you remember when you were twelve?"
Have you ever wondered where and when the next terror strike will hit the US?
Will it all end in mushroom clouds?

Ashutosh Varshney, Associate Professor at University of Michigan single-handedly made a wonderful start.

This project is beginning to illuminate the basic human ills that we and our children face. If it looks like it will take generations to banish terror from earth, that is all the more reason why we need to get on with it.

toward Peace Now Apparent
Reading recorded history is a heavy trip. Through all of it, terrorism, wars, and genocide recur again and again. Like rows of dominoes, each event seems to trigger further events.
