THINGS DO GO WRONG...
AND SOMETIMES...RARELY...BUT SOMETIMES THINGS CAN GO HORRIBLY WRONG...
THERE ARE POINTS IN HISTORY...SPECIFIC YEARS...EVEN DAYS...WHERE EVERYTHING CHANGES...FOREVER.
EVERYTHING!!
THAT RARE "ANNUS HORRIBLIS" DOES OCCUR...
THERE ARE YEARS WHERE NOTHING IS EVER THE SAME AGAIN...
THOUSAND YEAR EMPIRES CAN FALL IN A DAY...
THE GATES ARE STORMED...THE DYNASTY FALLS...THE TREASURY LOOTED...
THERE HAVE BEEN YEARS OF GREAT AND TOTAL CHANGE...
1066 IN ENGLAND. 1240 IN RUSSIA. 1453 IN BYZANTIUM. 1776 IN THE US. 1812 IN EUROPE. .... 1848, 1861, 1914, 1929, 1939, 1945....
SOME YEARS ARE SIMPLY DESTINED TO LIVE IN HISTORY AS GREAT TURNING POINTS...AFTER WHICH NOTHING IS EVER THE SAME AGAIN...
THIS YEAR...2008...COULD BE ENTERING HISTORY AS ONE OF THOSE YEARS...EVEN NOW.
REMEMBER HISTORY NEVER SEEMS LIKE HISTORY WHEN YOU ARE LIVING THROUGH IT DAY BY DAY...DRIP, DRIP, DRIP...BY DRIP...
