"The term "culture wars" is used by many well-meaning people, including many progressive writers and activists I admire. It's a convenient way to refer to a number of issues. But in this current political moment, I think it's a highly misleading euphemism. What we are experiencing in America right now is an asymmetrical attack on basic freedoms -- a fascist movement that thrives on targeting certain groups, erasing history, and spreading dangerous falsehoods through a vast media apparatus. To call this a "culture war" is to legitimize the contemporary GOP and its extremist counterparts as a coherent and authentic "culture" worthy of respect. This is a misuse of the concept of culture, creating a false equivalence between marginalized groups and those who would harm or eliminate them in a quest for ever more power. Depending on the issue, more accurate language might include the words authoritarianism, theocracy, or demonization. Or simply the aforementioned "fascism"!

A "culture war" also implies a degree of abstraction in the realm of ideas instead of lived experiences. It's a polite way of putting things on the plane of debate. But would we refer to the segregated South of the 1950s as a mere clash of cultures? Or does that obfuscate reality?

Fun fact: in the early aughts, I did some website work for a professor who wrote the book that popularized the term "culture wars." Written in 1991, it was about the battles between traditional orthodoxy vs. progressivism. In the context of the time, when there were many news stories about the religious right railing against the arts, I think the terminology made a little more sense." -- Jen Sorensen

I'm Going on a Hunger Strike Today. 2/14/2023 I Will Not Eat Until We Attain Whirled Peas... OR...

or My Colonoscopy is Complete... at 3 PM on 2/16.

This is going to be a Strange Experience as I'll be Fasting for 48 Hours... and I've never Gone More than a Day without Food... Mainly because I'm a "Mighty Hunter"and I Make it a Priority to Get Fed... 

Even when I was Homeless and Penniless in Chico, I was able to find the Jesus Center where they Give away Free Food Twice a Day... I enjoyed dining there because they served GREAT Food and I Got to Socialize With a Lot of Other People Just Like Me! After Dinner, Many of Us Would Ease on Down the Road to an AA Meeting where they Served FREE COFFEE and Often Cookies... Excellent!

another Excellent Dining Facility was "Food Not Bombs" - They Served in Train Depot Park... Across the Tracks from the Train Depot... 

Train Tracks in Chico CA - Station on the Right - Food Not Bombs on the Left

I remember that a Friend of Mine Decided to FAST until he Met GOD... Seems like an Absurd Quest BUT... After a Couple of Days he Started Behaving Really Weird... and I Avoided Contact... When I Saw him Coming I just Walked Away Quickly... anyway... I do not think he Found GOD because a Couple of Weeks Later he started coming to AA Meetings again and NO ONE EVER MENTIONED HIS QUEST... We Were ALL Just Glad That He Had Stopped Behaving Crazy. 

Finding GOD on Farmville - a Computer Simulation Game

The Jesus Center is a non-profit organization founded in God’s love.


In response to the complexity of homelessness, hunger and poverty, we work with our community to offer respite, restoration and lasting transformation to God’s children.

I just had my Last Meal... on 2/14 at 11AM... Just Like a Condemned man awaiting the Electric Chair... I was served My Favorite Lunch: Cheeseburger with Fried Onions, French Fries and Apple Juice...

I Used to Prefer Coca-Cola but Gave that up Years Ago... Pre-Diabetes makes me want to Eat a LOW SUGAR Diet...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

 It's 3:16 PM and Officially I'm Fasting... Watching the TV Show "Mysteries of the Abandoned" - Rerun after Rerun after Rerun... Excellent... 

I've Drunk Two Mira Lax Packets and Takes Zero Dumps... It's Supposed to Make You take a dump... but NO Action... Here Goes Packet #3... I'm supposed to take EIGHT before NOON Tomorrow. 

I've collected some Self Hypnosis Trance Music Videos to Pass the Time... Here they Are:

Today in the News... I just saw Neil Disgrace Tyson on MSNBC Pretending that We Do Not Have MANY VERIFIED FILMS OF UFOs... 

WHY ARE THERE NO PHOTOS OF THE LATEST THREE UFOs? Were the Airplane Cameras TURNED OFF??? 

This is what a REAL UFO Looks Like... 
UFO filmed by US NAVY


US Government says they were "Balloons" just like they said about ROSWELL... 

Ari Melber Interview Failure... Did Not Ask the OBVIOUS QUESTION when Neil told a Blatant Lie...  https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2023/02/ufo-alaska-shot-down.html

In other News: Apparently Mother Nature Has Decided that EIGHT BILLION People are JUST TOO DAMN MANY... Witness the Turkey EarthQuake with 41,000 People Dead... Covid-19, War, Mass Shootings and Fentanyl... It's Obvious that Reducing the Population of Planet Earth is a High Priority... 

On the Other Hand: I fell asleep during the Third Quarter of the Super Duper Bowl. Too Damn Boring... I was hoping to see some Interesting Advertisements... Nope... I also wanted to See the Singer that All the Kids Love... Rihanna... She was OK, but Not That Interesting... Odd Costumes with Hundreds of Black Men Doing the Exact Same Dance... WHY? I Did Like that She Angered tRUMP with her Graffiti Car Photo. Excellent!

I Don't Own a Car and I Take LYFT if I Need to Go to the Doctor... I never Go Anywhere Else... Except for Walking Around the Neighborhood... The Last LYFT Ride was in a New Car With a Giant Sunroof. Wonderful. And the Driver was Playing Techno-Pop on the Radio... Endless Drum Machine, Bass, Synthesizer - Reminded me of Playing Music in the 1980s when the Price of a Synthesizer went below $1,000 and We Could Afford to Buy Them...

I would go out into the World Except There is Nowhere I Want to Go... Except the POOL... This Summer I'll Go There... 

Speaking of Pools... After this Colonoscopy is Over I'm going to Seriously Look for a Place to Live in Chico, CA... If I Had a Bicycle, I could go Swim at One Mile... and I Could Attend Dances in the Park... and Go to AA Meetings... "Mom's" was a Great Meeting but So was "Central" and The Sunday Meeting at the Campfire Council Ring was EPIC.  I might get a Tricycle... Upper Park is Excellent! 
I would prefer to have a Care Giver Cook Meals, Shop for Food, Do Laundry, Take out the Trash and All the Gardening... Leaving Me with ZERO TASKS... 

I have given up on Moving to Arcata, CA... The College has enrolled WAY more Students Than there are Places to Live... SO, That Location is Impossible... While it's an Excellent Place... It's Sold Out... 

Of Course, I could just stay here... I spend all my time PLUGGED IN to the Internet or Watching TV or BOTH at the Same Time... It's Almost Like THE MATRIX... With my Body on Life Support (Care Givers Do All Tasks, and Wake me Up for Meals) My Mind is Free to Wander... and I Write a LOT... Strangely, I Have not Written any Songs in a Year... I Guess That's One of the Symptoms of Old Age... I'm 68... I do not Smoke Marijuana, Drink Alcohol or Eat Psychedelics and So THAT FOUNTAIN of Creativity has been Shut Off... 

I just Learned that The White Album by the Beatles was Written in India with The Maharishi... SO... There is another FOUNTAIN of Creativity available thru Meditation... and I'm Exploring THAT Realm...

Here's what I Do... I say words while Deep Breathing... Sometimes I say the Words Out Loud but Mostly I Repeat them Silently... 

[Inhale] God [Exhale],
[Inhale] God [Exhale],
[Inhale] Heal Me [Exhale],
Repeat...
[Inhale] My Mind [Exhale],
[Inhale] Is Completely Relaxed [Exhale],
[Inhale] My Body [Exhale],
[Inhale] Is Completely Relaxed [Exhale],
[Inhale] and I'm Going Deeper [Exhale],
[Inhale] and Deeper [Exhale],
[Inhale] Into a Hypnotic Trance [Exhale]
Repeat... 

Many People Chant Words in Sanskrit but That seems Weird to me... I Don't Speak Indian Languages so Why Would I Chant Them?

I just learned that RAM DASS is the Name of One of Gandhi's Sons... Evidently it's a Common Name in  India... Like John Johnson is in America... 

So Dr. Richard Alpert Went to India and Changed his Name... Seems Contrived to me... I'm Gregory Vanderlaan and if I Attain True Enlightenment I don't think that Changing my name will be a High Priority... Attaining Whirled Peas is More Important!
Visualize Whirrled Peas

Time has Passed: It is Now 5:15 AM on 2/15/2023.
So far I Feel Good. I'm NOT Hungry... I Guess That's Because I've been Drinking Miralax - and That Fills Up My Stomach... I Made FIVE Mixtures of Miralax with 16 Ounces of Water... 
SO FAR, No Bowel Movements at All... Today I will Drink another FIVE Miralax Mixtures Before 3 PM. and at 6PM I'll drink Half of the PLENVU... 

I Hope this Prep Actually Cleans my Colon... However, No Matter What... This is the Last Time I'll Ever Do This. I'll Just be Happy With The Mystery... "Do I Have Colon Cancer or Do I Not?"

I wonder if this Entire Procedure is a Marketing Trick to Sell a Miracle Cure... I Question WHY The Doctor Failed to Prescribe a Prep That Actually Worked Last Time... Could it Be That he Wants to GET PAID for Performing TWO Colonoscopies?  
Is all of this a FLIM FLAM? 

If I Get Results This Time... I'll ask for a Second Opinion Before Agreeing to Treatment... 

The Last time I Had a Colonoscopy, in 2000, I don't Recall doing all this Prep... But Maybe I Did Do It... That was 22 Years Ago... I'm Glad that I've Resisted the Peer Pressure for Having a Colonoscopy All This Time... I've been Living with a Mystery and Been Happy... To Quote Nancy Reagan: "Just Say No... to Colonoscopy!" - A Racket... Some People DO DIE of Colon Cancer BUT... "It's Always Something!"

It's 6:13 AM on 2/15 and I'm allowed to Drink Coffee and Take Most of my Morning Pills... So I'm Reading my Email and The Newspaper... I Always Read Google News... It's Especially Good because they Publish Articles that are Likely to Interest ME... and After Gathering data on ME since the Late 1990s they have a Pretty Good Idea of What I Like... WITH THE EXCEPTION of Stories about the Kardashians... I Keep on telling Google to show "Fewer Stories Like This"and that keeps my News Feed Kardashian Free for a Month but then... I'm served at Least Four articles about them... 


and Liz Merry Asks: QOTD - Valentine Edition: What is your favorite love song and why? (Thank you, Donna!) NPP
and I replied... 
Sugar Magnolia - It Reminds me of Dancing with my Wife at Grateful Dead Concerts... and Every word is true... Especially the Lyric "She Takes the Wheel when I'm Seeing Double." because on a Occasion I had taken Too Much Drugs and Alcohol and it was Unsafe for me to drive home...

Procedure was a Total Failure... Prep Failed to Clean out Colon... 

We Will NOT Be Doing Another Colonoscopy in the Immediate Future as THAT FAILS... 

as an alternative I'll be Having a CAT SCAN instead. If that Shows Large Polyps, Then there will be another Attempt at a Colonoscopy to Remove Polyps... 

WE SHALL SEE... 

TO BE CONTINUED...

Once I took an LSD trip at UC Santa Cruz and when I was walking thru the music department I noticed a small practice room that was half filled with balloons.

 I asked a student what it was and he said it was for dancing in. So I went in and danced. The balloons bounced around and filled the room... Just another goofy thing hippies made for silly amusement. That trip started early in the morning when a student named "Organic" Kim and I each ate two small brown squares of gelatin called 4 way windowpane. The reason It was called 4 way windowpane ws that if you cut the drug into 4 pieces then 4 people could take a trip. So we ate enough for eight people. We were walking down a trail and came to an intersection of another trail and we sat down. He was upset because he thought that I was mocking him by repeating what he said in a silly voice... I didn't understand what he was feeling and when accused, I said: "Mocking you?" and that accidentally confirmed exactly what he was feeling... so we agreed to turn and follow different paths... we were at a CROSSROADS of the paths and we were at a CROSSROADS of our trip. I never saw him again except I heard him while he was taking a shower in the apartment and he was screaming... I don't know why but it could be the water was too high a temperature or it could be that he was just having a bad trip... Much later I got on the student bus that went across campus and asked the driver to let me off at "The Maze" and the other passengers made fun of me because my tone of voice sounded so stoned... Like, wow, man... the MAZE... Can You drop me off at, likke, THE MAZE? FYI: The Maze was a wooden maze constructed out of plywood sheets and I'm really glad I never FOUND the maze because it would be Hell to be stoned on Acid and Lost in a maze...

Other classmates of mine from High School attended UCSC and I wanted to also but my grades were not good enough to get into the University of California. So I went to Chico State instead. During the Senior year at Los Gatos High School our math teacher had us all join the math club and all members were called "The President" and got a certificate... That way when students were applying to Ivy League Schools, they could put down on their application thet they were "The President of the Math Club"... It was an introduction to "Gaming the System"... a concept that we would all use later in life... I remember Gaming the System when I was writing my website and wanted the Google search engine to make my website popular... I uploaded every tag and keyword from every blog post into a blog post that had a menu of my most popular posts. That way, whenever a person typed anything that had those keywords into the Google search engine, my blog post would appear as a result. That trick got me about a thousand visitors a day... I was Gaming the System and doing what they call SEO, Search Engine Optimization.

My Experience With Smoking Marijuana was that I Stayed High for ONE MONTH after Smoking a Pound of Oregon Legal over an Eight month period. Then I Quit entirely because I Wanted to Go on a Driving Vacation in California and Nevada where Weed is Illegal... and I Remembered to NOT Possess Illegal Drugs in My Van While Touring... I Meet a Lot of COPS while Sleeping in the Van... and then I went to the Hospital for an Infected Blister on my Foot and they Tested My Blood for THC... and I Still Tested Positive a MONTH Later! AmaZING!
During that Month I Experienced Events That Did Not Happen... It's Called Cannabis Psychosis... and It's Interesting!

Marijuana Tourism - my trip to Washington State, The Space Needle, The Experience Music Pavilion and then Oregon. As legalization spread across the USA I wanted to experience LEGAL weed as soon as possible. When I retired from work I did a lot of driving around sleeping in the back of my VAN... I was like a turtle with my home on my back. First I drove to Utah with my friend Mike Jensen to attend the Rainbow Gathering... After we were done with that I took a drive to Washington State to experience the Legal Weed. On the first visit I was unable to find any... I asked some local kids and asked for directions but there were very few stores and they were often closed... On the Second Trip I picked up a hitchhiker who had some hash oil and he gave me some as a thank you gift for picking him up in the rain... Later I decided to go home and attend the Kinetic Sculpture Race at home but... and this is a big but... I smoked some hash oil... then I got onto Highway #5 and I accidentally put the van into gear #2 and turned on the radio... When I hit 70 miles per hour the transmission exploded and then the engine caught fire... OOPS! I pulled over to the side of the freeway and said the Serenity prayer... I walked down the freeway and over to a Lumber Mill. The security guard called me a tow truck and I was towed to a motel... I had the van towed to an auto repair place where they said it would cost $8,000 to repair my Ford Windstar. I paid $3,000 to buy it used so I decided it was Uneconomical to repair... Eventually I gave it to the Humane Society as a donation to help animals. I did not allow this disaster to interfere with my vacation. I rode the AMTRAK to Seattle, Bought and ate TWO Marijuana Cookies, drank some of that rocket fuel coffee and rode the Monorail to the Space Needle and the Jimi Hendrix Experience Music Pavilion. (also a Nirvana Museum) Both musicians lived near Seattle. They had a musical instrument for tourists to play... It was 20 Tubular Bells that random people could whack with pool balls hung from a wire. VERY popular with children. I loved it too. Then I rode the Monorail to downtown Seattle Business District and arrived at Quitting Time on a Sunny Friday afternoon. The first big weekend of Spring. I was impressed with the JOY of the office workers and the BEAUTY of the Secretaries. One effect of a heavy Cannabis Dose is that it makes women appear more beautiful... I really had to piss and was in the center of the city with no public bathrooms... so I peed my pants... I didn't care. I stayed at motels for a few weeks and walked, rode the train, rode the bus and taxi and eventually got home. Quite a tricky walkabout. I enjoyed the friendship of kids in Centrailia, Washington... Great People! Then I bought another Van for $3,000... I wanted to not only experience LEGAL WEED but I wanted to Vote with my Money and reward Washington State politicians who voted for Legal weed. The next year Oregon legalized Marijuana, Then Nevada and California... Soon... the entire USA.
