Events during The Year that My Parent Vessels DNA Merged and My Subsequent Launch

It was this year that I was conceived during the Ides of March, - March 15^th; of what significance this has… if any, I have no idea.

However, during the year of my conception, a lot of events were taking place that would set in motion things and affect me both directly or indirectly. These events set the stage and it’s effects we are still feeling today.

One of them was President Eisenhower unwittingly getting involved with the Military Industrial Complex of which for right or wrong, better or worse, his name became attached.

President Eisenhower also was the first President to send the first U.S. advisors to South Vietnam; which was to be critical in my life seventeen years later. In October of this year Ngo Dinh Diem proclaimed himself as president of South Vietnam and he broke away from the North Vietnam.

I feel that it is also crucial to mention for reasons that should be apparent to you after you read this book -- and not without a certain irony that the AFL-CIO was formed from the merging of the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. (It is ironic that this organization was formed the year of my birth and eventually prove to be part of my undoing).

It was during this year that racism and the violence associated with it, took on new dimensions as a fourteen-year old African-American boy is murdered in Mississippi and segregations had become illegal on interstates and Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat up to a white man and was arrested. Her brave actions ignited the civil rights movement for African-Americans and she inspired Dr. Martin Luther King and other black ministers to take up the cause.

Polio had been a widespread disease but this year Dr. Jonas Salk introduced the vaccine to prevent the malady. I remember many of the sugar cubes that we were given at school that was suppose to be boosters to the vaccine

McDonalds first restaurant opened and it’s influence spreads like a virus afflicting several billion. (Ten billion unsuspecting individuals served and Super-sized).

In addition to new events and tragedies that assault human primates since they first walked this planet, there is a lot of importance placed on various forms of human achievement and attention to entertainment.

The former allows most humans to wonder and ponder at the stellar achievements of these rare few.

Often the achievements of others allows most of the sorry beings that live on this planet to believe they too are capable of such feats; if they only would push themselves to action, but instead are generally content to lie to themselves and live vicariously through these rare and magnificent achievers.

The latter – entertainment and art tends to be of a passive nature where the majority of earth’s semi- sentient inhabitants simply sit to read, listen, look, or watch the work or dreams of other inhabitants.

I have surmised that the art and entertainment of which the minority of humans construct and the majority enjoy is used with the purpose of distracting them from the horrors, apathy and the waste of their existence. It is also quite possible that the obsessive pursuit of entertainment may also be such a distraction and be the main reason why as a species mankind fails to make any real and significant progress towards solving problems that desperately need their full attention.

Throughout my life, each year more human achievements occur and more art and entertainment that the semi-intelligent bipedal hominids that have infested this planet will create and use for their distraction.

From here on out I think it is important to mention most of these distractions created particularly in the United States; because besides serving as distractions – they also serve as cultural influences and perhaps even shape the trend of history.

After this year the world moved on and I was born.
