American History: I knew Mike Johnson. He was Killed by a Crazed Gun Nut. Mike was working as a San Jose Policeman and He was responding to a Domestic Violence Call and the Gun Nut Killed Mike... and then the Other Policemen Killed the Gun Nut... I Liked Mike... SO... Your F*cking Second Amendment Freaks Can OWN Mike's Death... https://www.mercurynews.com/2015/04/02/sjpd-officer-michael-johnson-memorial-today-we-remember/

American History: Guns cause 10 students murdered by gun at Texas High School.
Remember: Thoughts and Prayers Accomplish Nothing.
Let's outlaw guns, collect them and melt them for a cheap domestic source of steel. We could reduce the amount of steel imported by simply recycling guns. That would not only save lives but allow teachers and students the freedom to focus their attention on Reading, Writing and Arithmatic. Instead of Making American History by organising giant anti-gun protest marches they could be Studying American History.
It is possible that the Second Amendment to the Constitution is obsolete. Maybe owning guns is simply too dangerous for American Citizens... How many children need to die before we wake up?
Autobiography: Inflatable Boat ride in Santa Cruz. The Butterfly Trees. The Wharf at Main beach. Steamer's Lane and the Lighthouse surfing museum.
Dad bought an inflatable boat that looked like a canoe from an advertisement in the back of a magazine. It had a sail. Dad and I went down the coast from Santa Cruz going south. We went out beyond the waves and sailed in the open ocean. It was a big adventure for me as a young child. Then we wiped out going thru the waves to the beach. Got Rolled.
Mom and I went to the butterfly trees. It had a grove of eucalyptus trees literally covered with Monarch Butterflies. This grove causes a peaceful easy feeling... most of the butterflies stay motionless while a tiny number flittered back and forth. http://www.santacruz.org/monarch-butterflies
We enjoyed going to the Wharf. At the very end sea lions and seals live underneath. They are really large beasts. Walk to the end of the pier and there are viewing openings so people can watch them.
I've always enjoyed the restaurants that served us clam chowder and crab louis. I could look out the window and see people surfing near the lighthouse in Steamers Lane. Mom told me that Grandpa dove off the very end of the Wharf and swam back to the main beach. I'm not sure why he did that but I guess it was just to see if he could...
Dad and I went on a deep sea fishing boat run by the Stagnaro family. He got seasick and didn't have a good time. We boarded the boat on the Wharf. I don't recall if we caught any fish but it was really fun to be way out in the ocean.
There is a surfing museum in the lighthouse and you can watch the surfers up close from the top of the cliffs. I was always amazed that people could walk over the rocks at the end of the staircase while holding a surfboard... Truly and acrobatic miracle...

American History: Orwellian Doublespeak: US Ambassador Nikki Haley tells LIES at the United Nations. Making statements about Israel's Murder of 60 people that are the Opposite of Reality.
Haley Said:“Those who suggest the violence has anything to do with the embassy in Jerusalem is sorely mistaken,”
Reality: “Those who suggest the violence has anything to do with the embassy in Jerusalem is absolutely correct,”
Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublespeak
US ambassador to United Nations says Gaza border clashes have no connection to embassy move, slams international community after Security Council holds minute silence for Palestinians killed.

“The United Kingdom supports an independent investigation into what has happened,” Alistair Burt, British minister for Middle East affairs, told parliament.
He called for “greater restraint” in the use of live fire, while adding it was “deplorable but real that extremist elements have been exploiting these protests.”
French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the “violence of the Israeli armed forces against the protesters.”

My Experience With Smoking Marijuana was that I Stayed High for ONE MONTH after Smoking a Pound of Oregon Legal over an Eight month period. Then I Quit entirely because I Wanted to Go on a Driving Vacation in California and Nevada where Weed is Illegal... and I Remembered to NOT Possess Illegal Drugs in My Van While Touring... I Meet a Lot of COPS while Sleeping in the Van... and then I went to the Hospital for an Infected Blister on my Foot and they Tested My Blood for THC... and I Still Tested Positive a MONTH Later! AmaZING!
During that Month I Experienced Events That Did Not Happen... It's Called Cannabis Psychosis... and It's Interesting!
Marijuana Tourism - my trip to Washington State, The Space Needle, The Experience Music Pavilion and then Oregon. As legalization spread across the USA I wanted to experience LEGAL weed as soon as possible. When I retired from work I did a lot of driving around sleeping in the back of my VAN... I was like a turtle with my home on my back. First I drove to Utah with my friend Mike Jensen to attend the Rainbow Gathering... After we were done with that I took a drive to Washington State to experience the Legal Weed. On the first visit I was unable to find any... I asked some local kids and asked for directions but there were very few stores and they were often closed... On the Second Trip I picked up a hitchhiker who had some hash oil and he gave me some as a thank you gift for picking him up in the rain... Later I decided to go home and attend the Kinetic Sculpture Race at home but... and this is a big but... I smoked some hash oil... then I got onto Highway #5 and I accidentally put the van into gear #2 and turned on the radio... When I hit 70 miles per hour the transmission exploded and then the engine caught fire... OOPS! I pulled over to the side of the freeway and said the Serenity prayer... I walked down the freeway and over to a Lumber Mill. The security guard called me a tow truck and I was towed to a motel... I had the van towed to an auto repair place where they said it would cost $8,000 to repair my Ford Windstar. I paid $3,000 to buy it used so I decided it was Uneconomical to repair... Eventually I gave it to the Humane Society as a donation to help animals. I did not allow this disaster to interfere with my vacation. I rode the AMTRAK to Seattle, Bought and ate TWO Marijuana Cookies, drank some of that rocket fuel coffee and rode the Monorail to the Space Needle and the Jimi Hendrix Experience Music Pavilion. (also a Nirvana Museum) Both musicians lived near Seattle. They had a musical instrument for tourists to play... It was 20 Tubular Bells that random people could whack with pool balls hung from a wire. VERY popular with children. I loved it too. Then I rode the Monorail to downtown Seattle Business District and arrived at Quitting Time on a Sunny Friday afternoon. The first big weekend of Spring. I was impressed with the JOY of the office workers and the BEAUTY of the Secretaries. One effect of a heavy Cannabis Dose is that it makes women appear more beautiful... I really had to piss and was in the center of the city with no public bathrooms... so I peed my pants... I didn't care. I stayed at motels for a few weeks and walked, rode the train, rode the bus and taxi and eventually got home. Quite a tricky walkabout. I enjoyed the friendship of kids in Centralia, Washington... Great People! Then I bought another Van for $3,000... I wanted to not only experience LEGAL WEED but I wanted to Vote with my Money and reward Washington State politicians who voted for Legal weed. The next year Oregon legalized Marijuana, Then Nevada and California... Soon... the entire USA.

Owning a Gun INCREASES the Chance of Having a Gun Accident. Suicides increase too... More Family Lives are LOST than Lives Saved Defending Yourself from "Bad Guys."
This is a Blessing for Mankind Because Dead People Don't Have Children... and The Defective "Gun Nut" Gene ENDS HERE...

I Have found that online there are a vast wealth of Hippie Groups... and I Suppose There are "Anything You Believe" groups as well... and We Have Global Webinars, Zoom Meetings and Facebook Groups... FUN!
I Participate in a Once a Week Hour Long Guided Meditation Called The World Tapping Circle hosted by Sonya Sophia. It's an Excellent Self Help Healing Ceremony... I Find it an Excellent Place to Think Up Ideas for My Path Forward... and the World's Path Forward...
I Also Do the Saturday Night Alive for the Global Peace Tribe Zoom Show. Every Week They Have Different Speakers, Musicians, and Magicians Perform... and Quite Often the Words Have Some Wisdom... Value... And We the People Get to Post Our Own Words and Links to Our Own Blogs, Websites to Share Our Own Works...
Occasionally They Have Mark Sims Who Leads a Group Meditation Attempting to Contact Extraterrestrials. That Involves Going Outdoors at Night and Chanting, Praying and Looking For Space Ships... I Have Not Actually Contacted any Aliens but it's FUN to Look at the Stars... Other People in the Group HAVE Had Contact.
and It Seems Like the Human Race is Evolving into Two Separate Species... Like the Morlocks and The Eloi of HG Wells Time Machine... QAnon and The Followers of Donald Trump are Evolving into a Hate Fueled Race of Primitive Anger Monsters... While We The People are Becoming One... Online... Merging, Evolving, Learning... and Eventually (With our Computer Friends) We Will Become a Totally Different Animal... a Man/Machine Hybrid... Like Dr. Isaac Asimov's C/Fe Culture...
We Have Already Created Asimov's Encyclopedia Galactica... Where all Knowledge of Mankind is Stored... To Help us Re-Grow Civilization after a Collapse of Society and a Era of Hunter Gatherers... It's Wikipedia... The Pages Supply a Simple and Concise Rendition of the Knowledge... and The Footnotes Provide Links to The Source of the Facts.
I Have Contributed What I Know... It's Very Difficult to Find a Subject that Has NOT Already Been Thoroughly Documented... But I Did add One Sentence to the Forbes Mill in Los Gatos, California Page. "It was then abandoned and finally, in 1971, it was revived as a youth center for Los Gatos with live rock music on Friday and Saturday nights."

I heard a Worthy Song on the Saturday Night Alive for the Global Peace Tribe Show... So I Wrote Down Every Word...
Transcript: Larisa Stow Says: "Hello. Hello Scott. Hello Everyone. We Are So Grateful To Be here With You. As To Be Part of this Show That is About Sacred Activism. For Me Sacred Activism Means That We Are FOR Something That You Care About.
That It's About Love. and It's about really standing up for what we are passionately, what Passionately Care About in Life. Rather Than Being Against Something. So, It's about Raising our Vibration and reaching out our hands and sharing our hearts... and Gandhi, This is one of my favorite Examples... Is That, In South Africa When there was this Oppression Against the Indians. Gandhi made friends with the Prime Minister, General Smutz Who was at the Time about Oppression of the Indians and He Would Not Give Up with Showing Up and having conversations that came from a place of love and Bridging friendship with General Smutz and Eventually General Smutz Changed his Mind, and dropped his thinking and dropped into his heart. and when he was asked "How Gandhi Changed His Mind?" he said: "He Didn't Change My Mind, He Changed My Heart." and That's what I Think of as Sacred Activism, is Heart Work, it's love work... and in THAT We Sing The Peacemakers... AHHH... Tap on Our Hearts...
OHHH... Yeah, Yeah...
OHHH... Hey, Yeah... hey, Yeah...
Love, Love, Love, Love, Love, Your Enemies....
Love, Love, Love, Love, Love, Your Enemies....
Do Good, Good, Good, Good, Good To Those Who Hurt You...
Do Good, Good, Good, Good, Good To Those Who Hurt You...
Yeah? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.
We Shall Be The Peacemakers.
We Shall Be The Peacemakers.
and We Shall Be Called,
The Children of Love...
The Children of Love... "
at 1 hour 24 Minutes Scott Introduces Larisa Stow who sings an Excellent Version of "We Shall Be The Peacemakers"
