I Understand that THOSE PEOPLE OVER THERE have horrible Lives and are in deep trouble but... I'm not going to go visit and fundamentally... I JUST DON'T CARE.

 I live in a Remote Small Town and Our World is Wonderful. THOSE PEOPLE OVER THERE ought to fix their own problems but IF THEY DON'T that's OK too. I have spent the last 20 years of my life in Chico and Eureka, California. Both of those are Isolated College Towns with a quaint downtown district, plenty of parks and free live music/parades in the Summer. 

If I watch TV News, I see that crime is a problem in the Cities... Places like LA, Washington DC and the South Side of Chicago have shootouts between drug gangs and murder is common... None of that happens in our little town... 

If I watch TV News, I see that Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan are having active shooting Wars and Suicide Bombers... Crazy! But, if I Just Change the Channel it all goes away... 

If I watch TV News, I see that GUN NUTS are shooting up Schools, Workplaces and an Outdoor Concert in Las Vegas. Well, I Promise to NOT GO There... I see that the Countries in Central America have self-destructed and the people are walking to TEXAS and Tijuana... I bet that Texans and People living in SoCal are worried... BUT NOT ME... We simply do not have a lot of "Minority Group" people in our towns... Almost everyone is White... and we don't have a lot of Graffiti... 

I did spend many years living in San Jose, California and Gang Members Spray Paint Garbage Symbols all over everything. It's difficult to believe but some people actually believe that Graffiti is a good idea! I'm not making this up! I rode the AMTRAK Train thru Oakland once and the Walls are covered with squiggly crap... Just like Dogs mark their territory by urinating on fire hydrants and bushes... gang members mark their territory by spray painting their name on walls... ARF ARF! I'm Here! ARF ARF! 

THOSE PEOPLE OVER THERE should simply stop doing all that crazy stuff. Just stop it! Behave! OR DON'T... It's Your Life... I'm Changing the Channel!

The sole remaining nuclear power plant under construction in the U.S. is facing mounting opposition from cities and lawmakers concerned about its rising costs.

March 22, 2019 The Trump administration on Friday doubled down on its backing of Georgia’s troubled Plant Vogtle expansion project, approving billions of dollars in new federal loan guarantees.

U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry (NOW RESIGNED IN DISGRACE)  and other state and federal officials came to the site south of Augusta to offer support for the only nuclear power project still underway in the nation. Though the project is already billions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule, Perry announced finalization of another $3.7 billion in financing guarantees that had been conditionally committed earlier.That’s on top of $8.3 billion in earlier loan guarantees made during the Obama administration, for a total of $12 billion in guarantees backed by taxpayers.“Look around you. This is the real ‘New Green Deal,’” said Perry, referencing the Green New Deal, a Democrat-led initiative to cut fossil fuels use, battle climate change and, in the process, boost jobs. “That’s what we are looking at here, folks. This is America. This is what we can do together.” [Throw Billions of Dollars to The Super Rich to Build Obviously Failed Technology]

Nov 23, 2019  Georgia Power’s nuclear expansion of Plant Vogtle is falling further behind schedule, according to a filing Friday by Georgia Public Service Commission staff and consultants.  Unless performance improves considerably, the latest deadlines for commercial operation of two new reactors by November 2021 and November 2022 are “significantly challenged,” according to the filing. It also flagged safety risks for workers.The project is already years behind its original schedule and billions of dollars over budget. More delays could add costs. And if the price tag rises, electric consumers in much of Georgia could be at risk of increases in their monthly bills. Ultimately, elected members of the PSC will decide how much of the costs get passed along to Georgia Power customers. Many electric membership corporations and city utilities in Georgia are also connected to the project and will have to make decisions about how to recoup costs.

Think for Yourself and Question Reality - Did you ever notice that the Fifties are over? Obedience is no longer HIP... Why not Wake UP? it's Fun, It's Free and Everybody's doing it!

Like My Uncle Said...

"In the Fifties, When The Government Said: 'Go To War', You Just Went." 

Korea is a classic example. Does anyone know what the Mission was? Was it simply to give script writers help with the MASH TV Show? Thankfully, We WOKE UP! In the Sixties... 

Fighting Communism? What a Pathetic Joke!

I'd Rather take a ride on the Carousel of Progress.

In the Sixties, the General Electric Corporation Built a ride for the 1964 World's Fair. It featured a Typical American Family traveling thru Time. Each diorama depicted a different era and the Technology Used by that Family to make life easier... Every time the audience rotated to view a new scene, they played the song... The Goal of the exhibit was to show how GE Technology had improved the quality of life for YOU and I... The exhibit was moved to Disneyland and EPCOT after the World's Fair Ended.

The '64 World's Fair was also used as a set for the movie 'Men in Black'. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones protected the Earth from Aliens.

Something my Mom taught me...

Mom said that there is a concept called "self fulfilling prophesy". Her example: If you get a TATOO that says "BORN TO LOSE" you will. Be careful what you believe. Your beliefs can influence your future... If you find that your beliefs are wrong, change them... THINK FOR YOURSELF !

I was thinking about this because I was at an AA meeting and one of the other people was talking about the FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS OF BUDDHISM. The person talking actually got the "TRUTHS" totally wrong but it did make me think...

A concept that always seemed idiotic is: PREMARITAL SEX IS A SIN. Someone in a Christian Church expressed this ABSURD philosophy to me. They seemed to feel that people should not do things that are a "SIN". INSANE! I have TESTED their belief and found out that they are INCORRECT. IT IS BIG FUN! Avoid believing Religions that teach concepts that are OBVIOUSLY FALSE. THINK FOR YOURSELF... I wonder if this is REALLY in the Bible or did some preacher JUST MADE IT UP?

There are some aspects of Christianity that make NO sense. For example: Forgiveness of sin. They say that if you commit a sin and then ask for forgiveness, then you can go to heaven. RIDICULOUS! No wonder it is the preferred religion of the MAFIA! Check out how this works... On Monday, a person sells heroin to elementary school kids. On Tuesday, a person goes to church and says: "Forgive me father for I have sinned"... PRESTO=CHANGO all is forgiven and that person can go to heaven. On Wednesday, that person commits murder. On Thursday, he goes to church and say: "aw shucks, I sinned again... forgive me daddy"... a MIRACLE HAPPENS AND THE MURDERER IS FORGIVEN AND CAN SING WITH THE ANGELS FOR ALL ETERNITY... On Friday, the person HAS SEX with an adult that he is not married to... They have BIG FUN... On Saturday, they Have SEX again, because they really like to. On Sunday, they both go to Church and say: "forgive us father, for we had FUN". THE PRIEST (a known pedophile) says all is forgiven and they all go to Heaven. On Monday, The MAFIA guy sells heroin to elementary school kids, the Priest *&*##$@*** the kids and the weekly cycle continues... WHAT AN ABSURD SYSTEM...It seems to me that we ought to PUNISH murderers... NOT FORGIVE THEM !

AVOID BELIEF SYSTEMS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY FALSE.
A better system would be to take people that DO BAD THINGS and reincarnate them as a flea. Then they would have to live a thousand lifetimes as a flea before they got promoted to human. KARMA. "My Karma ran over your Dogma"...

I like the practice of communion... You eat a sacred wafer and meet GOD. I've done that. It works! At MY CHURCH, we eat a wafer that is laced with LSD-25... 
Yes, its true, I have met GOD personally. 
(or at least I Truly Believed that I Met God at the time...) MY CHURCH WORKS... If you have not met GOD, discard your obsolete religion and get one that ACTUALLY WORKS... 

The Four Noble Truths Of Budhism

The First Noble Truth - THE EXISTENCE OF IMPERMANENCE - "Dukkha"

Nothing lasts forever. Understand this and be not attached to what you are experiencing, otherwise you will experience suffering. When you experience happiness know that it is a reaction to circumstance and it is not a permanent state. Conversely, when you are suffering know that it shall not be eternal.

The Second Noble Truth - THE ARISING OF SUFFERING BECAUSE OF CRAVING - "Samudaya"

Craving sensory stimulation, craving existence, and craving non-existence give rise to the continuity of being, and with it its attendant suffering. Attaining a state of non-craving should be part of your daily effort.

The Third Noble Truth - THE CESSATION OF SUFFERING - "Nirodha"

One can end eternal suffering by ending the craving that leads to the continuation of suffering.

The Fourth Noble Truth - THE MIDDLE WAY, or THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH -"Magga"

How to Snuggle Canada Legal Weed into the USA... Go for a walk... or... Cross country ski...

Take a hike... Have a driver approach the border from the North and Let you off... Hike to the USA... Have the same driver pick you up and take you to the customer...

Do not try this at home... Forbidden by Prohibition Laws.

WAR IS OVER!... USA bombs Syria, declares victory. Trump makes "Heroic" Speech... and It's Mission Accomplished!

C         Em                F       C

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

F       C                        G            Am   F

And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby...

   C         Em                F          C

Oh somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly

F       C                         G                   Am   F

And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true...

    C

Someday i'll wish upon a star

G                                Am   F

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me

      C

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

G                                  Am           F

High above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me

   C         Em               F           C

Oh somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly

F       C                           G               Am   F

And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?...

           C        Em        F         C

Well I see trees of green and Red roses too

Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white

And the brightness of day, I like the dark

And I think to myself: what a wonderful world 

    G                      C

The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

    G                    C

Are also on the faces of people passing bye

    F               C      F              C

See friends shaking hands, saying 'how do you do?'

F               C       Dm7             D

 They're really saying, I...I love you

       C      Em        F          C

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow

F                   C    E7         Am

 They'll learn much more than we'll know

     F                 G                Am   F

And I think to myself: what a wonderful world
