Seniors do you remember the documentaries on Africa?

...dry plain, distant rumble of thunder, rain... then wall to wall wild flowers. Does this ever happen where you live?

Seniors do you remember the documentaries on Africa?
Nowadays, the plains are all covered with shanty towns, the flowers have all gone and the Janjaweed are shooting up the population and raping and burning the inhabitants. Long live progress.


I was in Africa back in the fifties and thought the world was heading for wiser and more stable times. I was wrong.
Reply:I remember watching such documentries as a child. What shocked me at the time (1950s) on a film screen, with projector, was the native ladies boobs being hung out. At the time that seemed shocking!!
