They Are All White Men! 

Except for the Grateful Dead... Jerry Garcia is Half White/Half Hispanic but the Other Six People are White Men... WHITE MEN ROCK!

and The Jefferson Airplane was All White TOO... One White Woman and Many White Men... and Janis Joplin Fronted an All White Man Band Too... Heart Had Two Women and an All White Man Backup Band... Dang! Is There a Pattern?

All of the People That Walked on the Moon Were White Men... Why Can't Minorities or Women Walk on the Moon? 

45 1/2 Presidents of the United States were White Men... Obama was Half White and Half Black... and as soon as His Father Donated Sperm He Ran Away to Africa... None of that Raising a Child for Him! And Obama was Raised by His White Mother and White Grandparents... All of That "Black Culture" was Totally Ignored... Obama was Raised in a Culture that Had a Lot of White People, Hawaiians, Japanese and Indonesians...

I Have Noticed that Racism Is Accurate... 

Not Polite, But Factual.

For Example: Ever Heard of These People? 

Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniac, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, William Hewlett, David Packard, Gordon Moore, Andy Grove, Robert Noyce, Jack Kilby, Thomas Watson, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, William Shockley, Herman Hollerith, Alan Turing, John Von Neuman, Charles Babbage, Fibonacci, Nikola Tesla, Tim Burners Lee, Thomas Edison ...All White Men... and Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper ...White Women... 

If You Don't Recognize any of These Names... Just Google Them! and be Thankful that Great White Men Created Electricity, Computers and the Internet!

Insightful Movie: "The Medium Is The Massage" (1967) by Marshall McLuhan... He Uses The Medium of Television to Study Television... Therefore Proving his Idea...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFwVCHkL-JU

Interviews and Many Psychedelic OP ART backgrounds... English Fashion Models Dressed in MOD Clothes and 1967 Computers with Punched Cards... He Really Got That Global Village Idea Correct... as we Have seen Movies Filmed by Terrorists as they Stormed the US Capitol Building using their Phone... and We Saw the Murder of George Floyd by a Policeman... Caused Riots Nationwide... 

I Remember My Brother Martin Had Two Books by McLuhan on his Bookshelf at home. "Understanding Media" which was a Thick Book WITH ONLY WORDS... It Was Too Boring and I Only Read 10 Pages... The Other Book was Profusely Illustrated with Cartoons and Pop Art Images and Maybe 12 Words Per Page...  "The Medium is the Massage" THAT ONE I Really Liked and He Got His Message Across... 

This Film is the Most Effective Treatment of His Ideas YET... and since it's on Youtube... It's Proof of the Global Village Idea... Now, Anyone Can Publish Their own Story on Youtube... I Do... 

Never Once Does he Mention that the Title was a Typographic Error... The Original Title was "The Medium is The Message" - and That Makes Sense... Message... NOT Massage... a Word that Means Rubbing the Body by a Professional... Including Prostitutes...

Legalize Marijuana Nationwide, Tax It and Free All the Cannabis Prisoners. A Dramatic Savings of Government Spending CURRENTLY WASTED On Law Enforcement and Incarceration and a MASSIVE INCREASE IN VOLUNTARY TAXES! Everybody Wins! We Could Use the Extra Money to Pay for Education and Healthcare for All.

If you don't smoke you wouldn't pay a cent. It's a Win-Win situation. More money going into the Treasury and Less going out.  In addition, states that have legal medical marijuana have fewer deaths due to opioid addiction. Some people simply choose the safer drug... DUH...

Beware... Sitting in the Lotus position leads to TRICK KNEE Troubles... and Pain while Walking... In Fact, That Entire Eastern Religion Fad was a Bunch of British Hogwash...

 LOOK AT THEIR COUNTRIES and their Quality of Life... If there was any Wisdom in India... Why is their Country so Screwed UP?  That Entire Thing of The Beatles Going to India and Meeting a Guru is A BRITISH ADVENTURE for Young Men... In a Previous Generation The Crown would assign 20 Something men to go to Calcutta and Serve in the Army... or The Crown would assign the Task of Building a Railroad in Africa... WhatEVER... Totally Bogus for Americans... We Never HAD Colonies in India... and Chanting Mantras written in Sanskrit... ABSURD! We Have Prayers in English that anyone can Chant in order to Get Close to God... "God, Grant me the Serenity to Accept the Things I Cannot Change, The Courage to Change the Things I Can and the Wisdom to Know the Difference." Much More Meaningful Than "OH WAH TOFU LIAM. OH WAH TOFU LIAM. OH WAH TOFU LIAM. OH WAH TOFU LIAM. Oh, What a Fool I Am. Oh, What a Fool I Am. Oh, What a Fool I Am. Oh, What a Fool I Am."

I went and Got My Pfizer Coronavirus Vaccine Shot Today. 1/11/2021. I Live in  an Old Folks Home and an Employee drove Two of Us over to Another Home owned by the Same Man. There were Two Nurses and about 20 Patients. I filled out a short form Waiving Liability and documenting the fact that I'm Not Currently Sick. Then Got my ALMOST Painless shot. Then we Ordered Pizza on the Phone and Drove Home. I feel Tired Now. More Tired than a Normal Massive Pizza Feast would Make Me Feel. However, I don't have enough of a Headache to warrant asking for aspirin... Overall... a Great Adventure. We got to see the Sights driving Past on the Freeway from Orangevale to Davis, California. Everyone Wore Masks... We drove past the Tower Bridge, The Tower Movie Theater (where the Tower Records Store was Born) and the Sacramento State University Aquatic Center on a Small Lake on the American River... and the YOLO Causeway... It was filled with Shallow Lakes... to preventing Flooding of the City during High Water Days...  

You’ll Enjoy the Experience!
Located on the beautiful Lake Natoma in Gold River, the Sacramento State University Aquatic Center is a National Boating Instruction Safety Center where we offer classes, camps, facility reservations, team building, youth groups and equipment rentals. We are open to the general public.

Examples of Psychedelic Music: The Beatles, Grateful Dead, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, Rolling Stones, Country Joe and the Fish, Jimi Hendrix, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Buffalo Springfield, Donovan... None of these were Included in the Johns Hopkins Psychedelic Therapy Music Study... deadheads: stories from fellow artists

HEADLINE: Best Music Playlists For Psychedelic Therapy Are Explored In New Johns Hopkins Study. 

Psychedelic therapy sessions often incorporate music—and typically that music is of the classical genre. But new research out of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine suggests there may in fact be no special value in playing a Mozart concerto or Chopin étude for tripping patients.

Gongs could work just as well, if not better, the study found.

The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.
