The mood, where I live, is best reflected by the lyrics to the song "Dialogue" by the group Chicago:
Terry: Are you optimistic 'bout
the way things are going?
Peter: No, I never ever
think of it at all
Terry: Don't you ever worry
When you see what's going down?
Peter: No, I try to mind my business,
That is, no business at all
Terry: When it's time to function
As a feeling human being, will your
Bachelor of Arts help you get by?
Peter: I hope to study further,
A few more years or so. I also hope
To keep a steady high
Terry: Will you try to change
Things, use the power that you have,
The power of a million new ideas?
Peter: What is this power you
Speak of and this need for things to change?
I always thought
That everything was fine
Terry: Don't you feel repression just
Closing in around?
Peter: No, the campus here is very, very free
Terry: Does it make you angry
The way war is dragging on?
Peter: Well, I hope the president
Knows what he's into, I just don't know
Terry: Don't you ever see starvation
In the city where you live, all the
Needless hunger all the
Needless pain?
Peter: I haven't been there lately,
The country is so fine, but my
Neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause
They haven't got the time
Terry: Thank you for the talk,
You know you really eased my mind
I was troubled by the shapes
Of things to come.
Peter: Well, if you had my
Outlook your feelings would be
Numb, you'd always think
That everything was fine
CHICAGO
And to answer your other question:
When you drive an automatic transmission car do you left foot or right foot brake?
Always right foot for me. I worry that otherwise one day I could simultaneously step on the brake and gas pedals and oh boy, what an ugly sight that would be.
