      At the time of my last posting on this blog, four million Ukrainians had been forced to 

flee from the slaughter inflicted on their country, by the Russian army.  The number of 

refugees has now surpassed five million, and is expected to grow to eight million, as the 

brutal onslaught continues.  It seams unthinkable that history could be repeating itself 

 again. but we have to remember that a previous Russian dictator, Joseph Stalin,

confiscated all of Ukraine's food crops, in the early 1930's, causing an estimated five 

to six million people to starve to death.  And now the world is entering another period

of ignorance, hatreds and greed, as our species resists truth, science and education,

while our own pollution is destroying our only home, the Earth.  There are dark days

ahead for all of us.
