Boom boom.......

  I recall, way back, that certain voices in power at the time, were warning permanently about a "baby boom" would come - was already in progress.
It came, apparently, from the return of some troops from the war, with the inevitable consequences! Being born in 1946, I myself am a part of this baby boom, but somehow it's got a lot worse than previewed.

• Now and then I wonder if there are plans afoot to put bromide in the water, but it is a serious problem - Africa has been suffering for decades - more than other countries since agriculture is not really available, and health treatment almost non-existant. One question to be asked is whether the problems within the British NHS and the pitiful state of Health Insurance in the USA is a situation "wanted" by the Governments.

And yet - we were in school classes of up to 40/50 pupils - nowadays the classes are much, much smaller, which doesn't seem to make sense to me. Of course, the economical positions - unemployment, prison population, crime and all the rest do not help the situation.
