"Birthday greetings to Djata Bumpus....Hi, my good young friend....have a great day. My gift to you today is a simple reminder of what you already know. The present is the sink of all that has transpired in the past. It is the "black hole" into which the entire past events are swallowed up and archived for all who care to analyze for abiding principles of truth. At the same time the present is the fount, the source of the future. It pours forth the events of the future along a trajectory already formed out of the events of the past. That trajectory is not random...it is deliberately aimed at specific targets that define the future. Sink and source...depository and provider...simultaneously functioning at all times.
I remind you of these facts because I know you to be a devout observer and analyst of the past and a passionate proposer of policies that enhance the human condition. Keep up the good work. Tweak those who take the future for granted. Provide a continuing bruising of the conscience of those who would betray or otherwise stifle the aspirations of working people throughout the land. Set your sights on the real enemy of the people's struggle for a decent existence. It is generally not the ordinary working people whose organizations may be socially and politically backwards or who may be co-opted by evil forces in the society. The real culprit is usually those who privately accumulate the wealth of the society which is always and everywhere produced by the labor of the working people. Stores of wealth in the hands of the few are nothing but a reflection of the devastating poverty of large segments of the people.
Go forth and do good work as usual....lloyd
