IMAGINE

 Imagine if this "unspeakable tragedy" had not occurred forty-five years ago this Monday night- as announced by Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football as a college freshman Rumpole watched in shock and sadness.

IMAGINE

 Imagine the power of words; of art; of song. 

During the Gold Medal match of women's beach volleyball at the Olympics, the Canadian and Brazilian teams went at it like it was a hockey match- or a prosecution discovery violation in Miami. 

Heated words were exchanged. There were nasty glares. 

We went to a beach volleyball match  and a hockey game broke out.


And then the DJ (did you know the beach volleyball Olympic matches even had a DJ? We did not)  played John  Lennon's Imagine. 

And smiles and peace broke out. 

Imagine that. 

This Sports Illustrated site has the video.  Take a look and  brighten up your Saturday.

I wonder if you could.....

IMAGINE




John Lennon was assassinated 29 years ago today.

Imagine if we didn't live in a society where handgun violence was so accepted and where even mentally ill people have no trouble getting guns.

The (CDC) estimated 52,447 deliberate and 23,237 accidental non-fatal gunshot injuries in the United States during 2000. Compare that with a total of just over 58,000 casualties for the entire Vietnam war. It's a war every year on US streets.

It's nice to imagine. Nothing happens, nothing ever gets achieved or created until one person says "hey...Imagine if we could...."
