Change

  (This was obviously written right after the first trump presidential election. It’s enough said that though nothing changed in the political environment or the state of the nation since, it gives pause to believing that anything will now.) Change   Change came to Paradise, Ca this month. No one asked for it, no one deserved it, but it happened because it was the Will of God, Mother Nature’s whim, mismanagement of the forests by overdevelopment or ill planning by government agencies, or by just plain dumb, bad luck. Build it and they will come. That’s our idea of Paradise. Build a senior center, the seniors come. They trust they’ll be taken care of when the time comes. Like parents and their children trust the education system to imbue the children with the proper ideals to make them successful in the real world. Hard work, knowledge, decent wages, good things should follow along with the good and properly lived life. Change is good or bad, sometimes at the same t...

Trade and Tariffs

-
  Pacific Trade Agreement And all other tariffs included. It’s not complicated, economics that is. If after a trade agreement, a dairy product corporation in another nation can ship a carton of milk halfway across the world and put it on the shelf in your local grocery store for at least an equivalent cost as a similar local product, then something is wrong. It is that something that's wrong that is the problem. Rule #1 if something doesn’t make sense, then do nothing about it but don’t let your nation of choice try and do something about it, either. Rule #2 If something doesn’t make sense, then don’t let someone else who thinks it makes sense try and explain it to you. If you do let them explain it and it still doesn’t make sense but you accept it because you think they should know what they’re talking about, you are suffering from a lack of confidence whereby you will ultimately pay. Rule #3 It's all about money, getting it, making it, and spending it. No one is think...

From above, all hurricanes look alike, such as what Burroughs said about supermarkets, swirling tornadic holes in the clouds, A recent picture of what I assumed was hurricane Melissa? showed large birds circling above the eye, and some scientists estimated that the photograph depicted through some sort of ratio analysis, that each bird's wingspan must have been a hundred yards across. Quite a wingspan but it does seem right that like birds that encircle the dead, vultures are taking opportunities offered. Imagine that though. We have entered into a modern version of Greek mythology. If anyone could retrieve all the information accumulated in any one's mind, man or woman, then would we continue to believe in the monolithic, simplistic understanding of who we are. The gods created chaos to ameliorate the calm, for both exist in the eye of the hurricane, from which severity and simplicity are born and die. Sent from my iPad

Empathy-Repeat

-
  Empathy   Maybe it's about time you get some. I have sympathy and i got empathy, too. the fear in the air is palpable blue. Paranoia runs its course in America it's true Like walkin’ down the street hearing people talking to themselves but really, they’re talkin to you.   But I can't get angry anymore over and over, the red white and blue, I’m the matador not the inflamed beast you view It’s not like you don't have my sympathy though I might be screwed up white and regrettably more like you than you’d probably think, or like. I just can't get angry anymore about who's hating who I'm getting old, not that much time to relate, I barely understand my own fate, much less yours by the time I find what I'm looking for I forgot what I wanted it for. I know it's not nineteen sixty-eight, blind revolutionary to the core, I had to relearn a normal life, the red and the black, I had their back, but no one, not even you, can travel th...

Right now, the American constitution is unrecognizable, which I suppose is only a natural effect or affectation of an aging process mixed with a large amount of puffery Botox and the usual American exceptionalism and hubris overtime. The Supreme Court, whether on a strict diet of legal interpretation solely aimed at defining imaginative and magical unlimited powers for the executive branch is saddled like a ridiculous handmaiden to her master, just like congress is. They (Supreme Court) as well as others, mostly the unelected viziers or advisors that awaken the Jabba the Hut like King every day from his intellectual and passionless slumber, confronting him with their daily agenda illustrating this neoliberal process quite well, something I may expand on here in a minute or much later. I'm naive enough, as almost all Americans who have had some real experiences with the democratic processes, such as continually having to vote for the lessor of two very undistinct candidates w...

The Women of Great Men

-
  Beautiful Exiles by Meg Waite Clayton and The Women by T.C. Boyle These two books illustrate the commonality of great men and the women who love them, in both negative and positive ways/   Them the men they need you. Ernest and Meg,   You two were born like romeo and juliet amongst the divisive rubble and struggle for Spain. Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney You were the other two born in the panic, there was nothing to come home to except smoke and mirrors. In wars, the great romantics, the swelling pride of it, their work is always so important, so so important and every one of you, mistress or wife, understands that. You nourish his fear like a wet nurse, you bear his desires like an Olympus hero.   He languishes when you aren’t there.   For you are his ghostly inspiration, his spectral muse, He needs you where he can easily find you. Cuba, war, Idaho, war, Cuba, war, the memories of Spain kept you going, together...

Charlie Part 3

-
( This is Part Three of three-part essay) Though I really hadn't formed opinions at that time and was aware of the standoff between Soviet Union and America over missiles in Cuba and knew a little about the bay of pigs and segregation, all of that, but, suddenly with that one remark, I had my eyes opened to a big difference of opinion. America was/ is a divided nation. The only thing I didn't know and wouldn't ever know is what was the reason that tech sergeant, who probably wasn't the only one, said that. Was it the Cuban missile crisis, the Catholicism, the bay of pigs, the racism? How many things can form a persons opinion about things as important as those things were? Much later, well after Lee Harvey Oswald was himself assassinated (if that's the right word for it), making sure some things would ever be known, I read that the CIA (at Kennedy order, I assume) many attempts had been made on Fidel Castro's life and perhaps, retaliation could be added to...

Technology

 Technology The age of the gizmo. That starts in the dirt of many nations where children, men, and women scrounge for cobalt, titanium, gold, diamonds and other precious resources which will be the beginnings of the  The gizmo connected to the whatchamacallit, inserted into the thingamachig, which when complete, goes to peoria to be hooked up to the gadget, which came from a factory in hoboken, welded to the dogeared sheet, attached via remote control ai to a chip, manufactured in silicon valley, configured and detoxified by a technician in reno nevada, driven to las vegas, stored until further use. Heres to all the men and women so far detached from what they do, congratulations, you have just built a weapon which will eventually be used to kill, maim, and destroy human flesh or maybe the man or woman who made the gizmo. The cogs in the machine that keep industry rolling along. Cog immigrants. If i'm an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, why do i want to see millions of peopl...
