I am Christian and Socially Conservative. What I hear in U.S. politics is so polarized, biased and wrong, it often does not represent the best interests of the people or the national well-being.
Ran across SPEED WINGS OVER THE WORLD by Eric Broadbent placed at the entrance of the IMPERIAL AIRWAYS TERMINAL – London. This made me think of Aaron Copeland and made me wax poetic.
In June of 1939, you could actually fly around the world on scheduled airlines. No zeppelins involved. I mean in airliners. Two months later, the world was at war.
It would take 23 days by air Omaha-San Francisco-Hong Kong-Bangkok-Southampton-Montreal-New York-Chicago-Omaha. After the first flight, passengers were not being carried between Southampton and New York. Two days in Hong Kong, Five days in Southampton. I love this kind of stuff!
