Other Emperors looooong before Barrack the 2nd

Yup Folks, don’t think The One was the First One; indeed NO by a long shot.

 OK I know young Barrack has his eye on being Emperor of the entire World; though he will never make that for many reasons.  One, he doesn’t have the clout, and two, way east of you stand China and Russia; they will never brook that kind of nonsense.

 But you have had your Emperor for America and a great lad he was.  Read it all for your own selves.

 Emperor Norton 1

 Do read the last four words right at the bottom.  The Kenya lad has no chance.

2012 Datelines

We have two coming up next year.  Let us look for others; there may be something in it, just perhaps.

 The War of 1812 started two centuries ago; maybe there is a pre-cursor somewhere.

 One hundred years later on April 10^th, 1912 the Titanic went down on her maiden voyage that was to be a World Cruise and with that the dreams of science and man of a ship that couldn’t sink.

 I shall hold thumbs for 2012.  For all his knowledge and achievements mankind remains but frail and vulnerable.  At this time there is much talk and shouting about New World Orders, a World Government and even one single World currency though we have not managed very well in just living with each other from one day to the next in a World that is getting smaller by the day.

 Yes, 2012 will, or may, provide the impetus that we need; or it may give us time to ponder and look at the past; it will be a good time to re-think; to take stock and move with caution.
