Ending the Afghan War is a Great Idea. Thank You, Joe Biden. ---> NOW, Let's Have 15 Years of Peace... Where the USA Does NOT Blow Up Random Countries For No Reason.

After we Lost the War in Vietnam, We Had 15 Years of Peace Because The US Government Had "Learned Its Lesson." And then Ronald Ray Gun Took Sides in Nicaragua's Civil War... GEE, Does Anyone Remember Who Won? or Who The "Good Guys" Were? Or Where Nicaragua is on The Map? I Do Remember that the CIA Imported Cocaine by the TON in Order to Finance That War... My Neighborhood Turned into a Crack Crazy Ghetto...

Do We Get a Peace Dividend? Since the Taxpayers Will NO LONGER Be Spending Billions of Dollars on "The Great Game" What If We Refunded a Few Thousand Dollars PER PERSON To The Taxpayers?

The Afghan People That Helped the Foreign Invaders (USA) are Traitors. They Fought Against Their Own People... I Support the "Stay in Afghanistan" Policy of the Taliban. All Afghan People Ought to Help Rebuild Their Country... It's a Very Similar Policy to the "Stay in Mexico" of the Trump Era that the SCOTUS Just Validated as a Dang Good Idea! Whatever Happens, I Sure Hope those People Don't Move into MY Neighborhood... Let 'em Go Live in DirkaDirkaStan... or Texas...

Team America: World Police is a 2004 black comedy action film directed by Trey Parker and written by Parker, Matt Stone and Pam Brady, all of whom are also known for the popular animated television series South Park. Starring Parker, Stone, Kristen Miller, Masasa, Daran Norris, Phil Hendrie, Maurice LaMarche, Chelsea Marguerite, Jeremy Shada and Fred Tatasciore, the film is a satire of big-budget action films and their associated clichés and stereotypes, with particular humorous emphasis on the global implications of the politics of the United States. The title is derived from domestic and international political criticisms that the foreign policy of the United States frequently and unilaterally tries to "police the world".

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K Dick

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K82kg3Py4lU

What a Fantastic Book... I just spent a few hours totally out of contact with reality because I Lie Down, Close My Eyes and Listen... and Quite Often Fall Asleep and Dream... When I Wake Up I Rewind the Story Back to a Place I Remember Hearing... anyway... The Three Stigmata are: a Mechanical Hand, Steel Teeth and Robotic Eyes... If you see Those Things on a Friend, you KNOW That They Have Chewed Chew-Z... Written in 1964...

A CIA Employee Spoke to Millions of Americans and said: "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out." - Was That the DEPLOYMENT of Project Mkultra?

That's Exactly What Happened in the Late 1960s... Dr Timothy Leary (Author of the CIA's Personality Test) Went Coast to Coast Encouraging Young People to Eat The CIA's Miracle Drug, LSD and...

Stop Protesting Against The War in Vietnam...

because They Were Too Busy Being Holy Men, Saints... and Wanted to Play the Guitar all Day... and Go Live in the Country and Grow Vegetables, Weed and Children... and Make Paintings, Pottery and Tie Dye T-Shirts... Write Poetry... Etc, Etc, Etc...

and All of those Interests Added Up To NOT Being a Menace to The Military Industrial Complex... Dropping Out...

SO... Was "The Sixties" part of the CIA Project Mkultra? The Part Where they Actually USED LSD as a "Weapon" Against "Enemies" in the Hope that We Would Simply Lay Down Our Arms and Surrender... In a Way They Were Successful BUT... They Had Not Taken Into Account People Like Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Country Joe McDonald and Grace Slick... Who Used LSD to Promote The Protest Against The War in Vietnam (and The 1950's American Culture In General.)

I Said: "Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics. Let Doctors and Patients Decide for Themselves what Treatment is Best... Legalizing Recreational Psychedelics is a Great Idea TOO.

Legal LSD Would Be Manufactured by High Quality Scientists and PURITY, QUALITY and ACTUAL DOSE would be Regulated. Often ILLEGAL ACID is Not LSD at all but some other chemical, Like DOM (STP) a Three Day Nightmare Trip... People That Buy Ecstasy Often Do Not Get Actual MDMA but get A Bizarre Combination of Methamphetamines and WHO KNOWS WHAT!

Legalize Psychedelics For the Public's HEALTH... Criminal Chemists Pose a Hazard To The People's Sanity! FDA Approved Psychedelics Would Be Better... Do It For The Kids!"

Who WAS Ram Dass? In the Sixties, He was a Psychedelics Researcher and Promoter at Harvard with Dr. Timothy Leary. Then He went to India Looking for Enlightenment and Met a Guru. Changed His Name and Published a Great Book... "Remember: Be Here Now" - It Has His Autobiography and then Many ART Drawings Explaining Eastern Religion. Real Name: Dr. Richard Alpert...

A Question asked in the Ram Dass Facebook Group...

https://beherenownetwork.com/be-here-now/

and Then he wrote a Dozen MORE Books and Gave Many Lectures... ALL WORTHY... I Especially Love "Still Here" because I'm 67 Years Old and The Question of My Own Death is Important To Me... Now... https://www.amazon.com/Still-Here-Embracing-Aging-Changing/dp/1573228710

It's Important to remember that Kermit Michael Riggs Taught Dr. Richard Alpert to BE HERE NOW. He was a Laguna Beach, CA Surfer...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavan_Das_(yogi)

and Then After Listening to The Saturday Night Alive for the Global Peace Tribe Show...

I Had a Dream: We were walking towards the Entrance of the Los Gatos Library and there was a Thin Old Man dressed in a Small Bathing Suit ahead of Us. He pulled on the entrance to the Children's room and It was Locked... Disappointed, he turned around and I asked: "Are You Looking for the Man Who Works There?" He Said: "NO" and I Motioned towards the Main Entrance. We all Entered. He seemed lost so I asked: "Do you Need Help?" as I would ask any Lost Old Man... He Said: "NO" and then I asked again: "Can I Help You?" He said: "No. I'm Fine." and then we went on Our Own Ways. By That time it was Obvious to Me That he was Ram Dass and That it was a Rather "Heavy" encounter to Ask Ram Dass If I Could Help Him... a Meaningful Event... and I was Shaking... So we went downstairs and I went searching for a Book that I Has Started reading before (about Philosophy) - and on the same shelf was a large picture book of the Grateful Dead's Fare Ye Well Tour with four CDs (that were missing) and My friend asked me why I would want to check out that book and I said: "Too Look for Pictures of Myself." and then I woke up and Typed this Document... It's Best to Type it Up before I forget it... For Certain, I would have tried to help any Lost Old Man but It seems Important that I Offered Ram Dass Help in my dream. That's One Of His Main Teachings...

and then I Read Online... SE SAID:

One thing I've noticed about movies from the 1960's is that they are so gorgeous to watch! The Technicolor really pops compared to the color in more recent movies. Also, the film itself seems to be really high quality. I know that nowadays they use computers to brighten the color and make the overall quality look better. But it seems like they switched to a lower film quality in the 70's compared to what they used in the 60's, and they never went back to the higher quality film that they used in the 60's. There were some great movies in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, but the quality of the film was noticeably lower...and the color no longer looked bright and beautiful. My understanding is that Technicolor was an expensive and time-consuming process, which is why they stopped using it. But you sure do see a difference when you compare the look of older color movies to movies from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Some of my all-time favorite movies came out in the 90's. It was a time when we had some fantastic independent and arthouse films. But when I compare the film quality of 90's movies to the film quality of the 60's, there is no comparison.

In the 21st Century, we can now use computers to enhance the look of a movie, so movies are looking better than they did at the end of the 20th Century. But still, when I watch movies from the 60's, sometimes I just marvel at the beauty of the color and the high quality film stock. Those movies were made to watch on the big screen, and they really took the time to make them look as gorgeous as possible. Nowadays, movies aren't necessarily made to look good on a big screen since people can just watch them at home now. That's cool in a way, and it's certainly convenient, but it does make movies feel less special if you can just watch them at home. Next time you watch a movie from the 1960's, notice the beautiful color and high quality film stock. There really is nothing else like it.

and I Replied: Remember Cinerama? It was a Really Wide Screen Show designed for EPIC Dramas Like "How the West was Won" and ""It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and Then there was the Psychedelic Trip right after Intermission in the Movie 2001 where He Travels Thru the Monolith... Intentionally Designed so a Person Could Go Out to the Parking Lot and Smoke a Marijuana Cigarette and then see that INSANE Lightshow... and then they made Multiplexes with many tiny screens... BOO... I Remember The UPTOWN Theater in Washington DC That had a Giant Screen and a Rock Concert Sound System... I Saw Pink Floyd The Wall there and It Really Frightened Me... I NEVER Saw that Movie Ever Again... But we went to The Opening Nights There with TV News Cameras and Hoopla... "The Right Stuff" was EPIC. IMAX is a Great Technology... They Showed Movies at the Air and Space Museum in Washington DC... Especially Moving was "The Dream is Alive." With Walter Cronkite Narrating and Giant Crystal Clear Images of That Lady Astronaut with Zero Gravity Hair...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dream_Is_Alive

and SE Replied: I agree that IMAX is the best movie experience nowadays. All of other theaters are multiplexes with small screens. Any time there's a movie I'm really excited about, if it happens to be playing on IMAX, that's where I'll see it. But unfortunately, not everything is shown on IMAX, so we're stuck with those awful small screens. Also, remember the awesome DOLBY stereo systems? I can barely hear movies on small multiplex screens because they have such awful sound.

and I Replied: I have not Gone to a Movie in a VERY long time... The Last Three Movies I Saw in a Theater were the Lord of the Rings Trilogy... I Guess They Are NOT Depending on Me to Buy Tickets.

SE SAID: I don't go to very many movies anymore either. I haven't been to one since 2019 (because theaters were closed in 2020). I would like to go to a movie sometime soon, but only if there's something I really want to see. Right now I don't think there are any movies playing which interest me all that much.

and then Bob D Said:

Closing time at the Arcata Farmers Market. Soundman Tofu, aka Michael Simon Schwartz puts everything used to put on the music part on a cart and loads it onto the Market truck. (By the way, he’s wearing an “AQ” Absynth Quartet tee-shirt. Playing drums in that band is another of his jobs.)

Laura Hughes, Arcata Farmers' Market Manager and Director of Market Operations, oversees all nine markets around Humboldt. 
When everything was loaded, David MacCuish, who helped with Marguerite Pierce’s Family Farm, drove the truck to a secret spot not far away until next time.

That Saturday afternoon I was taking an unscientific poll regarding the future of the center of the Arcata Plaza. You can see what needs to change at the edge of the photo of Laura: there’s a cement wall with a metal railing around the space where there was once a statue of William McKinley. It’s time for it to go.
The city added the wall and a flowerbed sometime in the Eighties in a bit of social engineering. Prior to that, there were steps around the statue so that people could sit and talk. I used to hang out there with my friends. 
There were some who thought that was a bad thing, that ne'er-do-wells hanging out stopped the good citizens from using the Plaza. Personally I think it was a bad idea building that wall. The simple fact is the Plaza is designed as place for people to gather and hang out. The ne’er-do-wells never stopped congregating, the just moved somewhere else on the town square. 
Anyway, at this point that flowerbed is nothing but an obstacle. People use the space as a soapbox for speeches and occasionally kids play up there, but there’s no way to get up there other than climbing over the railing. It’s an accident waiting to happen, a potential lawsuit. The statue was removed more than two years ago. IMHO, it’s time for the flowerbed to go too. 
Among the suggestions were simply removing a portion of the railing and adding some steps and hopefully some better flowers. (I’ll point out that some of the plants up there now are thorny bushes, apparently planted as intentionally hostile elements.) 
Some would like a stage built in the space so that bands would be elevated slightly above the crowds. (I’d say it’s unnecessary and a portable stage could be added anytime.)
Others have suggested a gazebo, which is what was there before the statue was erected in 1906. That could be problematic. Have you seen the gazebo in the McKinleyville Shopping Center lately? They had to put a fence around it so people won’t sleep there on rainy days.
Some have suggested another statue, something more politically correct. We could easily spend years arguing about who should be honored.
I offered my own suggestion long ago when we were still talking about arguing about removing the statue of Bill. We should clear off the flowerbed and put nothing there. Actually I suggested adding a spiral emanating from the center, but I’d be satisfied with nothing. 
Incidentally, when I asked Laura the market manager what she thought, she told me she was part of a city sponsored study group that came up with a list of possibilities a couple of years ago. The stage idea was a suggestion as was a gazebo, but nothing was done after the study. “You can probably find it on the city’s website,” she suggested. Maybe I will. 

[Side note: I tried finding the report of the study group by googling and failed. Does anyone know the actual name of the group that produced it? I’d still like to see it.]

 [[Side note on the side note: While googling about I stumbled across a fascinating document that’s published in full on the city website: an ad hoc book by Susie Van Kirk titled, “Reflections of Arcata’s History: eighty years of architecture.” 
It’s a treasure trove for anyone interested in the history of our town with short essays on pretty much every period and building in the central city, some of them gone. 
I’ll republish Suzie’s essay on The Plaza later. It’s the first thing in the book. I printed out the whole thing last night and it will give me hours of pleasure.]]

But next I’ll continue the poll: What do you think we should do with the center of the Arcata Plaza?

Vietnam Veterans - "The Wall That Heals"
a Traveling Wall for People That Can't
Travel to Washington DC

in Loleta, California... at the Bear River Casino...

I heard a flock of Motorcycles Drive by my house on Highway 101, then followed them to the exhibit.

The Bikers were escorting this Traveling Wall That Heals all around the country...

Vietnam Veterans Traveling Wall That Heals Memorial

The Wall That Heals: Mobile Exhibit. On Veterans Day 1996, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) unveiled a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., designed to travel to communities throughout the United States.

In 1973 We Won The Vietnam War. Millions of Patriots Protested in the Streets and the US Government Eventually Surrendered. Nixon Decided that Murdering Random People for No Reason Was Not That Brilliant an Idea... and so he stopped...

and NOW... The History of the Vietnam War is Not Taught in School Because... It's "Too Controversial" - HOWEVER... Students may use the Internet to Learn American History...

In Fact! a Great Idea would be to write a Term Paper on the Subject and Not Only LEARN HISTORY but also TEACH HISTORY... That way we will not Make the Same Mistake Again!

In 1973 the US Military Stopped Drafting People to Fight Pointless Wars... I Graduated from High School in 1972 and I was Forced to Register for the Draft But WAS NOT CALLED TO SERVE IN THE MILITARY... and Since Then Americans Have Never Been Drafted... an Idiotic Idea That Failed... NOW They Depend on Horrible Economic Conditions to get People to VOLUNTEER as the Military is the Employer of Last Resort...

A Brief History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world.

We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and fallout shelters. 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. During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "the Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was that one by one those countries over there would turn Commie and soon they would take over Mexico and threaten the American Way of Life. President Eisenhower and Kennedy sent advisors to help the South Vietnamese soldiers fight the North Vietnamese soldiers. Then President Johnson sent even More American Soldiers to fight the Viet Cong. Then President Nixon continued the War for another 5 years before eventually he decided to allow the South Vietnamese to fight their own war and we left. Quickly the South lost and thousands of Boat People fled South Vietnam because they thought they would be killed. As it turned out, The Domino Principle was false. Communism did not take over the world. The entire war was a waste of lives and money.

The main reason we ended the Vietnam War was the huge protest movement against the war. Lead by Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin of the Yippies, The Students for a Democratic Society and The Weatherman staged immense protest marches expressing the desire of the American People to end the war. Eventually the US government got the message.

AMERICA'S BOGUS WARS - Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The Country, Not Even Once. Ever since Victory in Japan, All of Our Wars have been Marketing to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex.

One time there was a Need to Defend the Country and The Military Failed Completely. Civilians took down the Airplane in Pennsylvania on 9/11/2001.

Read a Book - My Favorites

Often The USA chooses sides in Someone Else's Civil War, Gets Real Excited about Fighting Communism (or whatEVER) and then We Get Bored, Retreat, Lose and the Total Effect is ZERO. For Example: Vietnam. After 10 years of fighting, we lost and then The Surrounding Countries DID NOT Fall like Dominos... Believe it or not, There was a "Domino Theory" proposed by Vice President Richard Nixon that Stated that, If we lost in Vietnam, the neighboring Countries would become Communist and then the Entire World would GO Commie and we will have Reds Ruling Mexico! And Attacking the USA! I'm not making this up... There were people that really believed this theory... and were willing to send other people's children to die because they were Fighting Communism. Danger Danger! If we don't beat the Reds in Vietnam they will come right up to our border... ABSURD! For those of you that have never heard of Dominos, it's a game with numbered tiles that you could stack in rows so that if you pushed one over, it would hit the next and that one would hit the next... and on and on and on... and they would all fall down. This was popular before Video Games.

However, Hughes Aircraft, Dow Chemical and other Defense Contractors MADE A FORTUNE... People that sell Bandages, need Bleeding Soldiers to use them up... and then they make a Sale Restocking the Military. Helicopters, Agent Orange, Napalm, Boots, Boats and Food were all wonderful businesses to be in... Soldier Have to Eat... We can sell more MRE if there is an active war than during peacetime... To Quote Country Joe McDonald: "Come on Wall Street Don't Move Slow, Why Man this War's a Go-Go. There is Plenty Good Money to be Made, Supplying the Army with the Tools of the Trade! Just hope and Pray when they Drop the Bomb, They drop it on the Viet Cong..." Defense Contractors kept the war going for a long as possible. Nixon's Campaign Promise was to End the War but he kept it going an extra FOUR Years. If you think about it, We could have Won that War in ONE DAY. A Hydrogen Bomb on Hanoi would have Ended The War. Totally. We knew HOW to WIN since we we Dropped Atomic Bombs on Japan. BUT, we selected to Lose.

One real effect of that war was: we got a LOT of immigrants. Vietnamese Boat People and Hmong... They came here by the Thousands... and then the Country of Vietnam became a Capitalist Manufacturing Country... Go Figure! They did not like being Commie after all. In general, the refugees were nice people and no one can imagine WHY we would go to war with them...

"I was taught to support the president of the U.S. no matter what. I’ve been stuck with some crappy ones and some good ones but I would never protest them or spew hatred."
