"Make America Groovy Again" Embroidered Slogan Hat for Sale. You May Change the Words if You Want To... For example: "Make America Greta Again" instead... My most popular hat had that slogan: But I was asked by Zazzle to stop selling that hat because it's a Copyright Violation... Making Money off of Someone Else's Famous Name... Just like Mickey Mouse... And Greta herself asked that people stop making money off of her name... Or if they do, donate all the profits to charity... And I did that! I sponsor the Save the Redwoods League...

If you Really want a Greta hat, click on the big button that says [Edit this Design]

Then click on [Edit Text] to say what you want to say...  

I do not believe that a Customer changing the words would trigger the Zazzle Censors... But me, as a designer, offering a Greta hat would get the attention of the Corporation...

I first saw that slogan on a TV news show about a climate change protest... And I said to myself, self, that's a great slogan... I ought to put that on a hat! And here we are years later, and Greta is in the news again because she opposes genocide in Gaza... And Israel just captured her boat and they want her to go home... What a mess!

HEADLINE: Seat belt saved passenger's life on Boeing 737 jet that suffered a blowout, new lawsuit says.
More passengers aboard an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 jet when part of its fuselage blew out in January are suing — including one who says his life was saved by a seat belt.

Remember: It's NOT REALLY Exxon, Chevron, BP and Shell That is CAUSING CLIMATE CHANGE... 

It's the People That BUY GAS for Cars... It's the People That Travel using Jet Fuel... 

Those Oil Companies are Just Giving the People What We Want... 

Simply Reduce Traveling and Stop Polluting the Air. Stay Home... Commute shorter Distances for Your Job... Refuse to FLY Totally!

Headline: More than 9,000 US flights delayed or canceled after severe storms. 

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/27/business/flight-delays-cancellations-us-storms/index.html

Headline: Airline delays and cancellations are bad. Ahead of the holiday weekend, they're getting worse... JUST REFUSE TO BE A PART OF THE JET SET.

I used to be one of "THOSE" People... But Gradually I Became Aware... I was motivated to QUESTION JET AIRPLANE TRAVEL by Greta Thunberg... 

HEADLINE: Air travel is a huge contributor to climate change. A new global movement wants you to be ashamed to fly.

Greta Thunberg gave up flights to fight climate change. Should you?

In Fact... I used to Drive All Over the Country Just to Attend Grateful Dead Concerts... Never Once thinking about Burning Gasoline and Causing Climate Change... I Didn't Have a Clue... but NOW... I Grasp the Concept! 

But the MAIN CAUSE of Climate Change is People Driving to Work. Not Only is Commuting bad for the Inhabitants of Planet Earth but it's a Horrible Waste of Your Life... If you spend Two Hours a Day in Your Car... You miss out on time that Could be spent Playing with your children... or reading a book... or writing, painting, drawing,  composing, anything! Living!

Next time you choose a new job... Consider that the Commute is SUPER IMPORTANT! You spend money on GAS and auto repairs and LOSE PART OF YOUR LIFE!

The Democratic Party needs to Change Course. The original blog post was censored by Google.

Since it expresses ideas that are not "politically correct" they have deemed it "hate speech" …

https://purple64ets.wordpress.com/2025/02/14/the-democratic-party-needs-to-change-course/

so I published my essay on WordPress where the First Amendment means something... I'm troubled with giant corporations deciding what is allowed to be published... 

Briefly, I expressed the opinion that the Democratic Party platform of promoting gay "pride" is not a great way to get votes... The vast majority of people simply don't care or think gays are odd but harmless... 

And in fact, events like Trump signing an executive order that says that boys can't compete in girls Sports even if they have a sex change operation really makes Democrats look insane... 

I think Trump also signed an executive order that says there are only two sexes, men and women... Well, that's pretty obviously correct... And it gets the Democrats stuck behind the policy position of saying that somehow that executive order is wrong... 

Homosexuality and transsexualism are all voluntary choices and if that's what they want to do... go right ahead... Legalizing gay marriage makes sense because next of kin are allowed to visit in the hospital... And if you're a boyfriend of someone dying of AIDS, you're not next of kin... And so for years they were not allowed to visit... Well that's just a cruel and insane policy.

People are really interested in the cost of living... High prices at the grocery store... Low wages for jobs... We just don't want to look like idiots promoting GBLT+Q 

and it looks like the price of everything is going to go up really fast because Trump is a freaking idiot when it comes to business and the economy... My only hope is that he doesn't cause a global economic collapse... Simply defaulting on the national debt and declaring bankruptcy... Could make the dollar worth nothing... 

50501 Not My President's Day - Nationwide Day of Action... Noon, February 17th, 2025 - Everyone Everywhere needs to do Everything We Can to Exorcise the White House. Let's Send "he who shall not be named" to Mar-A-Loser.

It's Valentine's Day again, so again I propose celebrating "Why Not Love Yourself" Day also. I am not saying change the name of the day ( Who do I think I am, the president?) but also take the day to celebrate you. Not everyone has a special someone, but there is no reason you can't celebrate the special someone you are. I am not talking about a narcissist love...we have enough of those already...but a deeper love that holds a mirror up to your true potential as a human being, a love that won't allow you to lower yourself to those who anger you, and a love that allows you to mirror those who have the same heart so they can see it. So Happy Valentine's Day, and while you are at it, Happy Why Not Love Yourself Day

Of Course, Marijuana is Still Illegal in Many States and the Federal Government... SO... Those people are Still Using Taxpayer Dollars to Do Evil...

The extremely unpopular, corporate-funded Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, better known as Cop City (the center protested by Manuel “Tortuguita” Terán, whom police gunned down with more than 50 bullets), was previously estimated to cost taxpayers a whopping $30 million. The ridiculously expensive public project is just the latest example of public monies being sucked up by police instead of actually used to fund social programs that help people.

The good news is that it will not cost $30 million. It will likely most more than $100M.

On Monday, a phony AI-generated photo of the Pentagon getting blown up caused the stock market to suddenly drop 30 points. The photo was debunked, causing the markets to snap back. Prediction time: This definitely won’t be the last time a convincing AI phony throws financial markets into turmoil.

TV SHOW: Declassified: 

American Terrorists "The Order"

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7133966/

In 1984, a young charismatic leader, Bob Mathews, built an army of white supremacists with the goal of eliminating Jewish people from the face of the earth and overthrowing the U.S. government. The group, known as The Order, went on a crime spree- stealing millions and murdering an outspoken Jewish radio host. A group of FBI agents in the pacific northwest works to find and capture one of the largest domestic terrorist syndicates the US has ever seen.

In a country where the pandemic has killed more than a million people, where irresponsible corporations dump toxic chemicals in our rivers and walk away, where the leading cause of child deaths is getting shot, the real danger we must all be scared of is…(checks notes)…librarians.

Yes, this is a real story:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/05/18/school-librarians-jailed-banned-books/

If you’ve ever wondered how such revolting people seem to always come into power in America, here’s reminder #4,782,395: “The system” has always worked this way, always put depraved people into positions of high office while the rest of us starve. America has been an utterly failed state for quite some time. #FailedState

An increasing number of cheapskate companies are entrusting their writing jobs to imperfect and constantly hallucinating AI chatbots that churn out inaccurate, low-quality garbage. While those that do look for human work among freelance writers are apparently getting scammed by freelancers using AI themselves. The great enshittification of writing as a career by AI is well underway, and it won’t be the only profession affected.

I just watched a Movie: the History of the Warner Brothers... a Very interesting Show... Starting with Rin Tin Tin... a dog hero! anyway... this knowledge was important on Daytime JEOPARDY! because None of the Contestants Knew the Correct Question... ANSWER: What is the Name of Three Brothers that Missed the Opening of "The Jazz Singer" because a Fourth Brother had Just Died... NOT The Marx Brothers... 

and then SE Said: 

Been putting off laundry because of the heat. I don't have my own washer and dryer in my apartment, so I have to either do it in the building laundry room or the nearby laundromat. I keep waiting for the heat to let up, but it never does. The laundry was piling up, so I am doing it in the building laundry room, which is not air conditioned and has flies buzzing around because the doors are propped open. Now I'm wishing I'd gone to the laundromat because at least it's air conditioned. But laundry is a miserable chore when it's hot. But I guess it's never going to not be hot, so it has to be done.

and I Replied:

maybe a 3 AM Wash would be Better... It's been Hot as Hell Here near Sacramento but at Night, it's Pleasant...

Religion has Too Many Insane Rules. Think for Yourself and Question Authority. Both Governments and Corporations Have Insane Rules TOO! REJECT MADNESS!

If YOU Find That Religions, Governments or Corporations are RUINING Your Life, Refuse to OBEY!

Free Coloring Book Art... Make as Many Prints as You Like and Share With Friends!

Simply REFUSE to OBEY Priests and Never Give Them Any Money. The Catholic Church Forbids Birth Control and that Causes Starving Children in Mexico, Central and South America.

Let's Make Birth Control Free and Legal Worldwide... 

I have Actually BEEN to Mexico and The Starving Children Selling Chicklets Horrified Me. Remember: If You Give Birth to 12 Children it's Very Difficult to Feed them all but if You only have Two... It's Much Easier... Did You NOTICE That Thousands of People are Walking North from Central America for a BETTER LIFE in the USA? A Fundamental Part of that Better Life is Enough Food for Your Children... 

Take Action! Leave the Catholic Church... Their Ideas are about 500 Years Out Of Date. I Realize that their Ideas Made Perfect Sense During the Spanish Inquisition but in 2022?

 What's UP with a Vow of Celibacy? Doesn't That Just Encourage WEIRDOS To Apply for the Job of Priest? 

and It's Not Just the Catholic Church That is Insane... Take a LONG LOOK at Every Religion... REJECT THE MADNESS!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Take a Minute and Think About TITHING... Traditionally, People Give 10% of Everything they Earn to the Church. That Allows Priests to Live a Work Free Life... They Build Giant Churches filled with Gold while the People often do not have enough money to buy SHOES... Well, Tell the Priests "If You Want Money, Go Get a JOB!" 

My Grandfather was a Minister... He earned his Living from the Collection Plate... Until the 1930s when no one had any money so he quit and became a math teacher... that paid the bills, fed his family WHEN RELIGION FAILED... One Summer Grandma, My Father and My Uncle Camped on the Trinity River and Ate fish and Rabbits... and anything they could Gather.. a .22 rifle and a fishing pole was enough to live...
