I am going to correct it to reflect what you just said. <br /><br />I had gotten this version from one of the sites that probably wrote it down wrong OR transcribed it from someone else's version of the song.<br /><br />Yes "imprinting" is another way to say that conditioning has been achieved. (I'm indebted to CS Lewis when I use that word.) I'm working hard to figure out ways to counter that imprinting. I fear I personally am not being very successful, but there are signs that my kid's generation are more optimistic. We certainly have left them with a challenge that you and I never really had to face.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851395.post-80017071593424603202012-02-10T21:17:07.490-08:002012-02-10T21:17:07.490-08:00Chilling isn't it Ed?
Yes, I like Ten Years ...Chilling isn't it Ed? <br /><br />Yes, I like Ten Years After too. It wasn't until recently that I came to view the band's name as at least coincidentally tied to the Malthusian resurgence of the early 60s given what this most famous of their songs was about.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851395.post-34707170363515800462012-02-10T20:31:06.203-08:002012-02-10T20:31:06.203-08:00Several lyrics sites give the lyric you wrote &quo...Several lyrics sites give the lyric you wrote "Till we run out, rich no more" as actually "Till there are no rich no more", which is the way I always heard it (I still have that album on vinyl), while a few other lyrics sites agree with your hearing of it.<br /><br />To your point, I wonder how many of the younger generation who are refusing to have children (see "America Alone") are doing so, at least in part, subconsciously because they have been imprinted with the "too many people" theme.<br />On another track, one of my second cousins and her husband decided not to have kids explicitly because they expect an apocalypse of some kind. She has 3 brothers; 2 have no kids, one has 2.<br />Daniel K DayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851395.post-86559861234643083062012-02-10T16:19:59.159-08:002012-02-10T16:19:59.159-08:00You're making me feel old.

Twenty years after Ten Years After the National Press Club hosted a dinner where the topic was the need for Americans to endure Draconian rule.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.com
