1969 (Aquarius/5th Dimension) ... 40yrs ago vs. today 2009

Today, I was reviewing various songs to use as breakpoints for the radio show. I paused during Aquarius by 5th Dimension. The year was 1969. I wondered how things were so I took a peak at unemployment rates, population rates and the average home price. Wow, times have really changed in 2009. Today, we are approaching 10% unemployment in certain areas, have about 30% more people and the average home is 10 times more expensive.




























Take a look at the song's lyrics ...

------------------------------------
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
------------------------------------
Perhaps we need to add these concepts back into our livelihood:
1. harmony
2. understanding
3. sympathy
4. trust
5. peace

Well we used to call them hippies, treehuggers crazies ...
Today, they are respected as green leaders, forethinkers, the only few who can solve the
greed crisis and rebuild trust.

How times have changed!!
