Imagine there's no heaven; it's easy if you try. No hell below us - above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today... Imagine there's no countries; it isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too. Imagine ALL the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the ONLY one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will be as one.
Imagine no possessions - I wonder if you can? No need for greed or hunger; a brotherhood of man. Imagine ALL the people sharing ALL the world.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will live as one.

The words of John Lennon, there. One of those rare geniuses that the human race sometimes produces. John Lennon was murdered in cold blood by a, sadly less-rare, nut-case Mark Chapman thirty years ago today.
I find it interesting that the current media-circus surrounding the Wikileaks website is going on at the time of this significant and sorrowful anniversary. I may be only a Staffordshire Bull Terrier - but I firmly believe that Mr. Lennon would have supported and fought for the freedom of Wikileaks. Both strove (and continue to strive) for a more open, honest - and a fairer - world, wherein misdeeds can be appropriately punished and genuine mistakes learned from for the future benefit of us all.
Rest in peace, wherever you are Mr. Lennon.
Good afternoon.

Has it REALLY been forty years? Wow.
Gosh, time flies! I'm afraid I remember the day so well - it was one of those sort of days - and I remember the feeling of disbelief that anybody should even think about doing that particular thing to that particular man.
I adored the Beatles and each one - even Ringo - was a talent in his own right.
