OK, folks, the world situation has changed for a variety of reasons which are not very good. We now find ourselves sitting at the edge a very dangerous precipice which could potentially mean global destruction. I can tell you that nuclear war and radiation contamination know no bounds – political or geographical. It results in poisoning of the atmosphere and land everywhere and is extremely long-lasting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many people have opinions about the possibility of nuclear war. That includes me. I and “Paul and Friends” express those opinions here in a tune entitled “What’s the Matter with That?” This is a hard-edged, soulful piece which heralds a message to Russia, North Korea, and Iran. Joe Raines (of \u201cFull FX\u201d) hits this one out of the ballpark. Please take a listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will leave you with this. Einstein was a pretty bright guy. He had a strong and fundamental hand in designing the atom bomb during WW-II. After the war, he was once asked by a reporter. “How do you think WW-III will be fought?” Einstein replied “I don’t know how WW-III will be fought, but I can tell you how WW-IV will be fought.” The reporter replied “How?” Einstein replied “With sticks and stones.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take heed, my friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m including the lyrics below for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All people want is just to live;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little take, a little give.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A place in the sun – where we can live as one \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until our time is done, is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, What\u2019s the Matter with That? What\u2019s the Matter with That?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s the Matter with That? What\u2019s the Matter with That?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, we don\u2019t want no ball of fire \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An instant blazing funeral pyre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All that we plead is the powers that be agree<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To let us live in peace, in peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, What\u2019s the Matter with That? What\u2019s the Matter with That?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s the Matter with That? What\u2019s the Matter with That?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t really want it, you just flaunt it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tryin\u2019 to get a better deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does it really matter if the batter\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got no one to play the field?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please don\u2019t let us down. Turn this ship around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You sink and we all drown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can\u2019t you see? Can\u2019t you see?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, What\u2019s the Matter with That? What\u2019s the Matter with That?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s the Matter with That? What\u2019s the Matter with That?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s the Matter with That? What\u2019s the Matter with That?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s the Matter with That? What\u2019s the Matter with That?\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
