Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using WIRES. That's WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE WILDFIRES.

Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

and WHAT is that White Spot Halfway between Seattle and Chicago? That's the Flaring of Waste Natural Gas by Oil Companies... They Just Burn it! Really! 

https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2018/07/burning-natural-gas-at-oil-rigs-in.html

Photo from Space of the Bakken Oil Field... Burning Natural Gas at Oil Rigs in North Dakota is visible from space at night. Fracking... It looks as bright as a city but it's burning waste fuel... Polluting the World, Causing Global Warming.

A Mysterious Patch Of Light Shows Up In The North Dakota Dark...

https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2013/01/16/169511949/a-mysterious-patch-of-light-shows-up-in-the-north-dakota-dark

What we have here is an immense and startlingly new oil and gas field — nighttime evidence of an oil boom created by a technology called fracking. Those lights are rigs, hundreds of them, lit at night, or fiery flares of natural gas. One hundred fifty oil companies, big ones, little ones, wildcatters, have flooded this region, drilling up to eight new wells every day on what is called the Bakken formation. Altogether, they are now producing 660,000 barrels a day — double the output two years ago — so that in no time at all, North Dakota is now the second-largest oil producing state in America. Only Texas produces more, and those lights are a sign that this region is now on fire ... to a disturbing degree. Literally.

One thing I Noticed in the news was that THE ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION WIRES from Oregon to California Melted in a fire 7/12/2021... Vast Amounts of Power flow thru those lines... 

The Concept of Generating power in a Central Location and Distributing it using wires is a FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED SYSTEM... It was Power lines that started the Fire that Burned Paradise, CA...

Why Not Generate Power at the House and Unplug Everyone from the Grid?

Arcata Plaza GIF - Driving Around and Around and Around and Around Downtown Arcata, California... and then we go around again!

I'm a big fan of JEOPARDY!

"What are Pixels?" is the WRONG Question about Roy Lichtenstein's Artwork. The Correct Question is actually "What are Ben Day Dot Patterns?" 

Pixels had not been invented when Roy was Painting in the 1960s... 

This is the only time the Show JEOPARDY was WRONG! That I've Noticed... 

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Lichtenstein "His first work to feature the large-scale use of hard-edged figures and Ben-Day dots was Look Mickey (1961, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.).[20]"

And Some Guy on FaceBorg Said:

Hey everyone. Figured I could get a chance to talk to any hippies from "back in the day" here. This has been bugging me for years, but I wasn't there, so I don't know. How did we lose the culture? I mean seriously. Directly following the "Summer Of Love" we had Nixon, and then the Reagan 80s, the Clinton 90s, and today. What happened? I'm sorry, but the hippies were right. How did we become a footnote in history, rather than the societal change that was hoped for?

And I Replied: Well... In 1976, I got married to a Woman that didn't smoke marijuana or eat psychedelics... But She was Great at Sex... and I Got a Wonderful Job as a Draftsman in a Computer Factory... and about then I started TO HAVE DOUBTS about my Hippie Beliefs... Since the Quality of My Life was Much Better! After Five Years We Got Divorced and I REGAINED My Hippie Beliefs... Got a Guitar and a Synthesizer - Joined a Band - Started to Go to a Lot of Anti-War Protest Marches in Downtown Washington DC... Changed my Job from Working for the Air Force to Working for the Postal Service... NO LONGER Was I Designing WEAPONS... anyway... I bet a LOT of Hippies Tried The YUPPIE WAY for a few years... But Eventually It Just Didn't Work... 

and Some Other Guy Said: The masses weren't ready for the beauty that hippiedom was bringing. Even John Lennons Imagine didn't pan out. At least those of us that understand continue to live and love. The old saying is "be the change you would like to see." I will continue to do that.

Machine Gun Mass Murder in Sacramento. Gang War! Six Dead, 18 Wounded, 100 Bullets Fired. Map with Red Lines Showing Exactly Where the CrazyTown® District Is.

"Machine Gun" Smiley Martin and Brother Dandre Arrested for Mass Murder in Sacramento.

The Reason I'm Concerned by Machine Gun Battles in Sacramento is... I Live Near There. I might actually GO to the DangerZone®... I'll never travel to Russia or Ukraine... or Afghanistan or DirkaDirkaStan... but I Might Go to Downtown Sacramento... If I'm Called to Serve on Jury Duty the Courthouse is down there in CrazyTown® - Really! But Here's a MAP with RED LINES to Show Where the MADNESS LIES! 

Did You Know That Proposition 57 let "Machine Gun" Smiley Martin Out of Prison Early? 

So he could Commit More Violent Crimes! 

He was Incarcerated for Beating his Girlfriend... that's a Felony... but... The Law Says...

Forgive and Forget!

Could it BE 

That Black Lives Don't Actually Matter? 

Not to These Madmen!

The Simple Solution to Our Crime Problem

is to Lock 'em UP and Throw Away the Key.

These Men were able to Commit Mass

Murder ONLY Because they were

Let OUT of Prison... 

We have an Unused Prison in Susanville, CA

that Could Become the Permanent Home

for FREAKS Like This!

California HAS the Money in Our Budget

Surplus to Pay for Room and Board 

FOREVER!

I Tried Watching the New "West Side Story" Movie Musical but Turned it off After the First Song. I found that I did not Like Juvenile Delinquents "The Jets" OR "The Sharks" and the Best Solution Would Be to Simply Lock 'em Up and Throw Away the Key... and the Regular People That Lived in That Neighborhood would be Grateful! Not really that interested in Interracial dating either... One Gang had Ancestors from Poland and the Other Gang Came from Puerto Rico... Seems Like people ought to date whoever they want... I certainly experienced a LOT of Inter racial dating when I lived in Washington DC in the 1980s... Not much of a story there... No need for a lot of singing and dancing... Maybe in the 1950s and early 1960s this was a big dead but... I looked at a Calendar and it's 2022... Maybe we should write some NEW STORIES! Maybe He could be a Member of QAnon and She Could be a High School Graduate? How would THOSE two Cultures Mix???

and then on FaceBORG CC Posted:

I'm not anti-God or anti-Spirituality but I AM ANTI-ORGANIZED RELIGION. I don't care which one it is, it's a man-made construct meant to intimidate, manipulate and control using guilt and fear-mongering plain and simple. I was raised in a controlling cult-like (oh it is a cult whether they call it one or not) religion and I'm lucky to have not just gotten out but to have been able to truly deprogram and it took YEARS to really do that. There are no bigger hypocrites on the planet, no more self-righteous people than religious people. I wholeheartedly believe NO CHILDREN should be indoctrinated with ANY organized religion.

and I Replied: I like UUSF... One of the Main Ideas of Unitarians is: You Choose Your Own God or No God at all... and Let's Meet, Do Good...

 https://www.uusf.org/

and CC Said: yes its an interesting organization. Unfortunately earlier on when I was still in the mindset of "i need a religion to feel spiritually connected" i did go to the local one here. Unfortunately back then I was hurting after having suffered a huge trauma of family loss which created severe mental illness at the time (i just snapped basically) and went down a really difficult path. I lost everything (of my own doing no one to blame) so when I wanted to get my life together and live again I went there. Thing is, I got j judged and I do mean judged. .. not by the organization but by the leadership there. Maybe it was just my perception etc but when i looked into the actual organization I think I just have hang ups about hierarchy, people vying for higher up positions even preachers being put on pedestals etc. but yes i hear you and think that's great for you! it does seem like a better option than a lot of others i checked out. 

and I replied: My brother is an active member Since he lives in San Francisco... I watch the Sermons on Occasion BUT... They seem to be way too interested in the troubles of Minority Groups... and Yet almost Everyone in the Congregation is White... I Guess they feel they should help the Minority Groups or something... I don't really know... I found RUNNING AWAY was a Great Solution... I Lived in Chico and Eureka for the Last 25 Years... No Notice of the Troubles of Non-Whites because I Just Change the Channel on the TV...

and In the Faded Memory Department of FaceBORG: I went to ELP and Mahavishnu... Best concert ever... Winterland! There was a big yellow glow in the dark stripe in the center of the dance floor... and Keith Jumped off the Stage and Ran around in that zone Zapping People with a Ribbon Controller that was attached to the MOOG. making that "spaceship taking off" sound... and that was after John McLaughlin Had Turned our Minds to Mush... With that Mahavishnu Orchestra... 

Let's Replace Standard Street Lights With Solar Powered Ones. That Would Reduce the Need for Dangerous Power Distribution Wires That Cause Wildfires Like Paradise, CA...

Here are some subjects that I am concerned about:

1. Save Social Security and Medicare. The House of Representatives just passed a budget bill that cuts payment of these programs.

2. Either FIX Obamacare or create a Single Payer Medicare for all healthcare system. Obviously Trumpcare is horrible. Repeal and Replace is a mean idea and a total failure of the Republicrime party.

3. Legalize Marijuana nationwide, tax it and use that money to fund schools. This system has worked great in Colorado. Release all Prisoners that are incarcerated for Cannabis related crimes. That would save the taxpayers a fortune. It's obvious that We the People want Recreational Marijuana Legalized.

4. Let's NOT pay for the F-35 Jet Airplane. It's something that the USA Does Not Need. It's simply Corporate Welfare for Lockheed. Let's reduce spending on the military in general. One way is to stop all these wars. The USA is stuck in an Orwellian "Forever War" in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. What a total waste of lives and money. Have you seen photographs of the city called Mosul? We bombed the hell out of that city and now it's just a pile of rubble where homes used to stand. Total Evil in the name of fighting ISIS, a group that we "accidentally" armed.

5. Let's return the Environmental Protection Agency to an Agency that Protects the Environment. Under the failed Trump Administration it's become an agency that enables corporations to pollute. It's run by Scott Pruitt, a man that has sued the EPA to prevent the Agency from enforcing Environmental laws.

6. Trump has appointed 193 corporate CEOs and Lobbyists to senior positions in government. This enables the 1% to get their wishes granted. Read Elizabeth Warren's Opinion at: http://www.masslive.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/07/elizabeth_warren_gives_preside.html

7. Let's hire thousands of computer programmers to make our systems hacker proof. There are reports that the computers at nuclear power plants have had hacking attempts made on their business systems. If those hacking attempts ever succeed there may be a massive power outage nationwide. Looting and The End of Western Civilization will follow.

8. Let's get rid of the Electoral College. Twice it has selected a President that did not get the majority of votes. George W. Bush lost the popular vote to Al Gore and then he turned out to be a very bad quality President. Donald Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton and he also has turned out to be a bad quality President. Let's learn from our mistakes and stop using the Electoral College.
