[Verse 1] The streets of the future littered with remains Of both the fools and all the so called brains The whole prediction is enough to kill But only God knows if it won't or it will
[Chorus 1] Nobody knows why we fell so flat Some silly creature said we'd never crack Most would just survive and then bounce back But the rest are crying "Why'd I fall for that crap" Why did I fall for that?
[Verse 2] So many rash promises sincerely made By people who believed that we were being saved They made us all believe that we were acting white But the truth is we've forgotten how we used to fight
[Chorus 2] Nobody knows why we fell so flat We're impotent and neutered like whining cats We've found the piper but we've lost the rats But the kids are crying "Why'd you fall for that Dad?" Why did you fall?
It never rains under my umbrella
[Verse 3] Four minutes to midnight on a sunny day Maybe if we smile the clock will fade away Maybe we can force the hands to just reverse Maybe as a word, maybe maybe's a curse
[Chorus 3] Nobody knows why we fell so flat We've never been taught to fight or to face up to facts We simply believe that we'd remain intact But history is asking why'd you fall for that?
[Outro] Why did you fall? Why did I fall for that [x3]

This song popped into my head today and it matched my thoughts. Seemed like a good one for a hangout New Years Ever thread.
This is Doc: Last night one of Jim's friends and his wife invited us out for dinner and drinks. Jim was incapacitated from his back problems and declined. They wanted me to go alone with them and leave Jim at home.
WTF did they think was going to happen? Get me drunk and get involved in a threesome? I was a bit nonplussed at the prospect and offended. Jim has some unsavory friends. While I was with my children today he was telling me that his biker buddies that he was with wanted me to come over and have topless pictures taken of me on their harleys.
Jim seems to be out of his element. He's never been what I suppose you call a gentleman, but he was always a gentle man.
Last night when I got to his house he had a package on his porch that I brought in. It was a package from his sister of presents. We had fun looking through the things.
One of the things that got him crying was a Trump calendar. When I asked him WTF are you crying about he told me how he felt so bad about how badly he felt and was ashamed how Trumps wife was treated and how he wished that he could apologize to her in person. He's been deeply hurt somewhere in the past.
There's more to the calendar thing. I really respect Melania Trump, not so much because she's the most beautiful woman ever, speaks multiple languages and brought more dignity to the White House since Nancy Reagan, but because the MSM has been badmouthing her because she has been out of sight lately, the last being the Trump family Christmas picture where her absence is notable.
Melania Trump is dealing with an ailing mother and was needed elsewhere. I took care of my mother until I had to take her to hospice and have her put down, not unlike my wife and I had to do with so many dogs over the years. I was walking alone when it was Mom's time. It was very painful.
Some former neighbors had a Pit Bull bitch tied up to the phone pole in front of their place. She had pups and they asked me to take one. I turned them down since it is hard enough to feed and take care of myself let alone a dog. ;)

See, we should demand Korean neighbors if this multicultural bullshit is going to work out. Not that I would eat dog, but it would sure as shit cut down on on the noise of the spics keeping dogs outside 24/7. WoofWoof!
