TURN... Turn... turn...

 


A Time For Every Purpose...  is sung as if the singer is as naive as the words...  and yet...  these words changed a generation into believing that peace in the world was possible...

The year was 1965 and the US was mired down in a war in Vietnam...  a losing war as it turned out and under President Nixon, the war eventually ended and the US left Vietnam in disgrace...  

And...  it was then that our country changed...  The US was vulnerable in a military sense even though we were the world's greatest economic power...  more importantly, citizens of the US saw for the first time since Slavery that they were wrong in what they had started.

Nixon resigned from the Presidency in disgrace as well and global opinions of the US were beginning to change.

THE USA WAS VUNERABLE...

Inside the US, divisions were beginning to develop as well.
Divisions between:
  • males and females
  • rich and the not so rich
  • black and white
  • management and labor
  • liberals and conservatives
  • north and south
  • east and west
  • educated and non educated
A Time For Every Purpose...  is the phrase and no longer is seen as innocent; in fact, the phrase is anything but innocent...  it is generational and biblical and has become an unintended consequence of FREEDOM in the USA...

Currently, the LIBERALS are trying to silence the CONSERVATIVES and it would appear that the time has finally come where that is a REAL POSSIBILITY...  and, once one party is silenced, we lose our FREEDOM to hear both sides of the story.  We have choice taken away from us because there is no choice.

A Time For Every Purpose...  is here and we are about to eat the forbidden fruits of that tree.
