Things happen in cycles. History tends to repeat itself through these cycles. There’s the ‘up’ cycle and the ‘down” cycle, and the somewhere-in-between cycle.

Nevertheless, life seems to have happened in cycles. There’s the ‘up’ cycle, and the . . . wait. I said this already, didn’t I? Cycles like I said, great things.

So far, the eighties have been a real drag. No one really cares about anything. It’s basically been every being for him/herself. But, if you take a look in a newspaper that talks about news, you see a lot of people that are protesting, demonstrating, picketing, sitting-in.

As we get to the end of the conservative eighties, something is starting to happen. People are getting mad and becoming aware of the things that are going on around them; things that are starting to affect each of us. Pollution, AIDS, corrupt politicians, the deficit, Nicaragua. These are the things that are getting Americans riled up (finally).

So into the 90’s we go; into the ‘up’ cycle where everything that can happen, will.

See you on the picket lines.
