\t\t\t\tVis a vis the demise of Dan Rather (today he says sayonara) and the radical movement toward democracy that’s taking root in the Middle East, I’d like to advise some of my friends among the dead enders to consult the prophet of the 60s, Mr. Bob Dylan:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Come gather ’round people
\nWherever you roam
\nAnd admit that the waters
\nAround you have grown
\nAnd accept it that soon
\nYou’ll be drenched to the bone.
\nIf your time to you
\nIs worth savin’
\nThen you better start swimmin’
\nOr you’ll sink like a stone
\nFor the times they are a-changin’.<\/p>\n

Come writers and critics
\nWho prophesize with your pen
\nAnd keep your eyes wide
\nThe chance won’t come again
\nAnd don’t speak too soon
\nFor the wheel’s still in spin
\nAnd there’s no tellin’ who
\nThat it’s namin’.
\nFor the loser now
\nWill be later to win
\nFor the times they are a-changin’.<\/p>\n

Come senators, congressmen
\nPlease heed the call
\nDon’t stand in the doorway
\nDon’t block up the hall
\nFor he that gets hurt
\nWill be he who has stalled
\nThere’s a battle outside
\nAnd it is ragin’.
\nIt’ll soon shake your windows
\nAnd rattle your walls
\nFor the times they are a-changin’.<\/p>\n

Come mothers and fathers
\nThroughout the land
\nAnd don’t criticize
\nWhat you can’t understand
\nYour sons and your daughters
\nAre beyond your command
\nYour old road is
\nRapidly agin’.
\nPlease get out of the new one
\nIf you can’t lend your hand
\nFor the times they are a-changin’.<\/p>\n

The line it is drawn
\nThe curse it is cast
\nThe slow one now
\nWill later be fast
\nAs the present now
\nWill later be past
\nThe order is
\nRapidly fadin’.
\nAnd the first one now
\nWill later be last
\nFor the times they are a-changin’.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When The Independent<\/a> and the New York Times<\/a> see what’s happening but you don’t, perhaps you need to open the Doors of Perception<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just a thought.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
