Today is BUY NOTHING DAY - Is Owning More Plastic Crap the Path to Happiness? For Amazon Prime Day, QUESTION CONSUMPTION.

refuse to consume for Amazon Prime Day - say NO to Plastic Crap - meme - gvan42


If you are Compelled to Shop,
Try your Local Thrift Store... 

I'm amazed that there is a Business Called 
1-800-Got-Junk? It's a Service for People That BOUGHT TOO MUCH PLASTIC CRAP
and Now Want to Get Rid of all the JUNK Cluttering Their Lives! 

SIMPLY REFUSE TO CONSUME AND YOU WON'T NEED THAT SERVICE!

Shop at a Thrift Store. Here's a Guide to The Best Values in the USA. Remember: REFUSE TO BUY CHINESE JUNK.

The Profits are Donated to Charity... 
Fixing Broken American Lives!

Remember! Buying Used Merchandise Keeps Your 
Dollars IN AMERICA! When You Buy a New 
Product Made in China, Your Money is Sent to the 
Corporations in China... By Simply Buying Used, 
Your Money is Used to Finance the Local Homeless 
People Shelter or Animal Shelter! Or Pay for the 
Free Meal!

How to Cook: 
I like Brown Rice and a Can of Tuna... this is the 
Classic "POOR BOY" choice of Food... First take 
One Cup of Brown Rice, add THREE cups of water 
AND SALT & PEPPER... bring it to a full rolling 
boil... dump in the entire can of tuna... stir, cover 
and wait... maybe boil it again to absorb all the 
water...

I first Embraced Lunacy Long ago when I Noticed That The Moon Looks Like a Solid Dot about the Size of a Quarter Held at Arms Length. AND The Sun Looks Like a Solid Dot about the Size of a Quarter Held at Arms Length. AND The Shadow of the Earth on the Moon is the Same Exact Size! That SIZE Co-incidence is what makes Solar and Lunar Eclipses and Phases of the Moon Possible.

WTF?

A woman's Menstrual Cycle is the same length of time as the moon's phases... 28 Days. Humans are In Phase with the Moon...   

Our Calendar's Moonths are Named for the Moon but don't exactly Line Up... 28x13=364 We Could have made the Calendar 13 Months of 28 Days Each but... Somehow We Failed... OOPS! That One Extra Day Could be a Holiday for Fertility Rituals...

What if "Billy" Went to a Grateful Dead Concert and Ate the Sacred Wafers? Then He Met God (just like Moses did) and Decided that Building Atomic Power Plants was NOT a Great Idea! That instead of Making the World a Worse Place to Live, He wanted to Write Poetry? Or Maybe Lyrics? There is a Long List of things a Person Can Do instead of Doing EVIL for Money... Organic Gardening, Learn to Play a Musical Instrument, Pottery, Macrame, Tie Dye Clothes, Paint Fine Art Paintings, Sailing, Mountain Climbing, Play with Their Children, Travel to India and Meet a Guru, White Water Rafting... SO MANY Alternatives...

For Example: You Could

What Would San Francisco Be Like if Japan Had Won World War Two?

Bebop Cubist Goofball by gvan42

 


That's the Subject of the Science Fiction Book... "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K Dick... 


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vwal-FySkQ <--- Link to the Book Read Out Loud. 

In the book, Characters throw the I Ching to help them decide what to do... In the Real World, The Author Actually Threw the I Ching while writing the book... to use the ancient wisdom to help write the plot of the story... How the story ends was absolutely chosen by "The Oracle" because the Author had planned for a different ending... 

also... The Author was working at his wife's custom jewelry business during the day... and writing the book at night... 

A Character in the Story Makes Custom Jewelry for a Living... and has a great deal of trouble selling it... The Rulers of San Francisco only like to collect "Authentic" Antique American Products... and there is a Huge Business Creating Fakes that look like the "Real" Thing... For Example: Colt 44 Pistols or Mickey Mouse Wristwatches... 

The Author was using vast quantities of amphetamines... That allowed him to work day and night... 

and eventually it killed him... a stroke and then a heart attack... but first he wrote a LOT of Paranoid Fiction... 

and there is a Book within a Book in this story... 

"The Grasshopper Lies Heavy" - is a Speculative Fiction about What San Francisco would have been like if America Had Won WW2... 

The Author of that book Lived in a Castle High in the Rocky Mountains near Denver, Colorado... a Fortress that could be Easily Defended... But he got too Paranoid about Taking the Tram up there because he thought the Tram Might NOT Stop at His Home but would continue all the way to Heaven... or The Stars... 

Here is an Autobiography:

and Here is VALIS... Which is Very Autobiographical BUT... Very Twisted! by Philip K Dick's Amazing Mind:

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

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...
