Fortunetellers And Aliens
Author: Martha Allen Source: Lake Placid News (NY)
Title: FORTUNETELLERS AND ALIENS
What do gypsy fortune-tellers, ghosts, vampires, aliens and werewolves have in common?
Not much, except that they are all part of our popular culture, our 20th-century pagan mythology. It is my theory that everybody believes in ghosts. Maybe not all day, but at least at night.
Lately, it seems that a fatalistic attitude toward life has become part of our universal belief system. Like a silent tsunami, fatalism has swept the nation, and possibly, for all I know, the whole globe. Where did it come from? It’s as if everyone I know just woke up one morning and started saying, “Oh well, it wasn’t meant to be.” I suppose they find comfort in repeating this axiom, but it always sticks in my craw.
