...we began this discussion with the awareness that the punks are not at present fully emergent in our world. Can we also look to The Boomer Bible (BB) for a clue as to when they may return? Again, I believe we can. I am hesitant to mention this fact because it is so incredible to me, but I have counted again and again, and I must report that the number of chapters in the BB’s three testaments totals 2001. I must also point out that the text of the BB assigns a special identity to this number; it is the number the punks associate with the beginning of Mankind—humorously rendered in the Past Testament as 2001 million BC. If I am reading the numbers right, therefore, the punks foresee a new beginning for Mankind in the year 2001, a beginning at which I expect they would like to be present. -- Frank Frelinger
