I was just reading about the events in Iran right now and this makes me feel weird.
"Why is Iran's population so young?"
"Why is Iran's population so young?"
A. After the revolution, the leaders encouraged early marriage and large families, rewarding families with cars and television sets for each additional child. During the country's devastating eight-year war with Iraq, which began in 1980, the regime continued encouraging population growth, because more children meant more future soldiers.
It is those children who are now coming of age.

for the leaping greenly spirits of trees,
and for the blue dream of sky,
and for everything which is natural,
which is infinite,
which is yes."

I needed a new journal. The old one had too many entries that I couldn't have turned to "private", without spending 4 days doing so.
Friends only again.
