• I always argued that the biggest problem or Earth faces is not terrorism, or poverty but overpopulation, one of the root causes of many other problems.

  As James Randi said, I've also been a Beatles fan ever since I can remember. John Lennon's songs have been favorites, and I would always hum along with "Imagine" when I heard it. Then, when it was selected to be heard on the recent TV tribute to the WTC victims, I really listened to the lyrics. I'll ask you to read — or sing along — with them....
  IMAGINE..... 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... Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one.
  Idealistic?, Yes. But, just imagine...
