John Lennon wrote the song “Imagine” back in 1971. The opening lyrics were:

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

The following lines of interest are;

Imagine there’s no countries
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
Imagine no possessions
No need for greed or hunger
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
And the world will live as one

Human animals are a troublesome and warlike race. In some regards, we are going forward, in others — backward. Just reading this morning’s newspaper (yes, I still read an actual daily paper) the following are some of the less notable headlines that popped out:

Al-Qaida Fighters Helping Taliban in Afghanistan as US troops leave.
Canada Begins
