Is Violence the Answer? NO. What IF Ukraine had Simply Surrendered on Day One of the War. No One would have Died. No Refugees. No Bombs. No Oil Fuel Depots on Fire!

OK, You Want to Draw a New Line on the Map? Fine... That's the Answer to Vlad "The Impaler" Putin.

Violence meme

They Could have All Held Hands and Chanted "OM" - Then Vlad "The Impaler" Putin would have drawn a New Line on the Map... Think about it for an Instant... Russia is Already the Largest Country in the World and Putin Wants to Make it Even Bigger... That's ABSURD! Remember: The Only Real Lines on the Map are Coastlines. 

LOVE - The Energy That Heals Us: Mini EFT Tapping Session by Sonya Sophia... 

on a different subject: I Tried Watching the New "West Side Story" Musical but Turned it off After the First Song. I found that I did not Like Juvenile Delinquents "The Jets" OR "The Sharks" and the Best Solution Would Be to Simply Lock 'em Up and Throw Away the Key... and the Regular People That Lived in That Neighborhood would be Grateful! Not really that interested in Interracial dating either... One Gang had ancestors from Poland and the Other Gang Came from Puerto Rico... Seems Like people ought to date whoever they want... Not much of a story there... no need for a lot of singing and dancing... maybe in the 1950s and early 1960s this was a big dead but... I looked at a Calendar and it's 2022... Maybe we should write some NEW STORIES! Maybe He could be a Member of QAnon and She Could be a High School Graduate? How would THOSE two Cultures Mix???

and then SE Said on FaceBORG:
My issue with the whole cancel culture thing is the fact that people always want to point the blame at liberals even though liberals aren't the ones making those decisions. I get really sick and tired of liberals being blamed for everything. Liberals didn't decide to stop publication of 6 Dr. Seuss books. The Dr. Seuss estate made that decision entirely on their own. But everyone is screaming at "the liberals" instead. Why? If you're so upset about those 6 Dr. Seuss books, why not direct your anger at the Dr. Seuss estate, since they made the decision to stop publishing those 6 books? Instead, I hear "The LIBERALS have CANCELED Dr. Seuss!" usually accompanied by a photo of Green Eggs and Ham or the Cat in the Hat, which are both still being published and have not been "canceled." Same thing with Mr. Potatohead. The Hasbro toy company made a decision - entirely on their own - to change the name of Mr. Potatohead. But sure, let's all turn our anger at "the liberals," who had nothing to do with Hasbro's decision to change the name of one of their toys. And Pepe Le Pew - nobody was even thinking about those old cartoons anymore, but sure, blame half the population for "canceling" those cartoons after Warner Brothers decided ON THEIR OWN that they're not going to show them anymore. I wonder what people would have said if it hadn't been mentioned in the news that those 6 Dr. Seuss books contained racist imagery. What if the story had simply said, "The Dr. Seuss estate has decided to stop publication of 6 lesser-known Seuss books for financial reasons"? I bet there would be no screaming at "the left" for "canceling" Dr. Seuss if that had been the way the story was presented. But because it was mentioned that those 6 books contained racist imagery, the right jumped on the bandwagon and started spreading lies that "the left" has demanded that all of Dr. Seuss's books be pulled from shelves, and it simply isn't true! None of it! But if the racist imagery had never been mentioned, I bet the right would not have even noticed that 6 lesser-known Seuss books are no longer being published.
Why are people so determined to blame the liberals for things which liberals had nothing to do with? I get that people absolutely DESPISE liberals and want to make the rest of the world view liberals as bad people. But come on. When private companies make a decision to change the marketing of a toy or to stop showing an 80-year-old cartoon, it's ridiculous to try to place the blame on people who had absolutely nothing to do with those decisions. If you're so upset about Pepe Le Pew, contact Warner Brothers! March around in front of their corporate offices with signs! Same with Mr. Potatohead. Why not stage a demonstration in front of Hasbro's corporate offices instead of turning your anger at "the liberals" who had no part in Hasbro's decision? But blaming half the population for something which they had nothing to do with is pointless. All it does is further divide us as a country. Why does the right want to blame the left for everything? Turn your anger at the people who made those decisions! Stop being angry at the wrong people!

and I Replied: Conservatives CANNOT Point to How Well they Ran the Country When they were in Power... Because they Failed at Everything... Except Trump's Tax Cuts for the Rich Law... So they Make up Lies about Imaginary Enemies and Blame Liberals for the Sins of Their Fantasy Creations... There is No Organization Called ANTIFA... Actual Arrests for Pedophiles WENT DOWN when Trump Was President... and they OPPOSE Teaching Accurate History in School because the College Level Class Called Critical Race Theory is a Convenient Way to Pretend That Racism is OK...

Odd Building in the Middle of the Sacramento River near Downtown - SACRAMENTO RIVER WATER INTAKE STRUCTURE - and - Sonya Sophia: Tapping Into Divine Purpose Seminar - and - Photos of the Tower Bridge

The new Sacramento Intake Structure had two main functional requirements—to supply water at a capacity of 160 million gallons per day and to ensure the associated fish screens would meet current regulatory agency requirements. The design team created a structure that engaged the community and gave Sacramento a new river landmark. The structure, an iconic symbol that represents Sacramento’s relationship with its rivers, has won numerous design awards.

INTENTION: We live in an evolving universe, in an orgasmic nuclear dance of consciousness. Everything is changing, evolving, transforming. Wise men and women throughout history have tried to define the nature of the reality in which they found themselves. Myriad models have existed- most have fallen into the historical garbage heap, others cling by threads. We, these generations, are creating a new model. Is it all figured out and defined? No. Do we know some of the elements of what this future model might look like? Yes.  

The primary intention of the Conscious Life Expo Conference and Exposition is to participate in the conscious co-creation of a new world, a world based on new paradigms in science, in spirituality, in longevity, in local and global community, in relationship, in health and well-being. 
  

And while we co-create this new wholistic model through our authentic self expression, we also participate in a powerful and passionate celebration of life and love. The Expo is a three-day gathering of the tribes, a three-day celebration of evolution and consciousness and a three-day brainstorming session on who we are, where we are and where we are going.

Any questions? Call our toll-free number 1-800-367-5777 Thank you and we hope to see you at the Expo!

A Christian Man I Knew Said: "You Can't Find What You're Looking for by Climbing a Mountain or Taking Drugs. The Only Way is Jesus." What he Failed to Consider was Climbing a Mountain AND taking Drugs at the Same Time! I went to Yosemite and Took LSD and Marijuana and I'm Glad I Did... We Hiked to the Top of Yosemite Falls and Up There... The Entire Mountain Was Dancing... Big Fun!

I Don't Have Much Patriotism for the USA but I Have Great LOVE For Google... The Era of COUNTRIES is Obsolete... Hey, USA, What Have You Done for Me Lately? OR EVER?

Congress is Attempting to "Regulate" Big Tech... Bad Idea... 

The Only REAL Lines on the Map are Coastlines.

The Last time The USA Ever did Anything Valuable was 1973 when DARPA Invented the Internet... 

The House Antitrust Committee has written five bills that will regulate Big Tech. Frankly Speaking: I'm on the Side of Big Tech Because They Have Made the World a Better Place to Live. While the US Congress is a Perfect Example of Idiots that Fail to Act and When They Do... are Usually WRONG... 

I Remember that the USA Tried to Kill Me During the Vietnam War (but I was too young by ONE Year) ... and They Still Have all those CrazyLaws® - Did You Know that Marijuana is Still Illegal in the USA? WTF! Is That INSANE or WHAT... 

The USA Keeps on Stealing Money from My Paycheck in TAXES... that They Use to Pay for Wars that BLOW UP Random Countries for No Reason... What Did I Get for the Thousands of Dollars I Spent Hiring Soldiers to Fight in Nicaragua, Iraq, and Afghanistan? NOTHING! 

"Do No Evil" is the Guiding Principal of Google... "Plausible Deniability" is the Motto of The USA... 

The USA Funded Research that gave us the Atom Bomb, The Hydrogen Bomb and the Atomic Power Plant. The Three Stupidest Ideas in the Entire History of Stupid Ideas! Did you know that the USA Bombed The State of Nevada Over 100 Times With Atom Bombs? 

The Country of Japan Was Ready to Surrender BEFORE The Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but... Truman wanted to "Send a Message" to Russia That We HAD the Bomb and We WERE WILLING To Drop It... 

Atomic Scream Symbol
Atomic "The Scream" Symbol

I have Received Actual Benefit from Google... They Pay for Public Webspace for me to Publish My Ideas, Artwork and Songs. I Am Grateful for Youtube, Zazzle, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft, Apple and  HP. Already, Apple is a Religion as Powerful as the Catholic Church... or maybe not... 

I AM Grateful for Roads, Plumbing, Fire Departments, FDA, EPA, the State College System and The National Park System... 

We Could Cut All American's Taxes if We Just Reduced Spending on Military Madness by Half. 

I'm Looking Forward to FIFTEEN Years of Peace after we Lose the War in Afghanistan... We Had Fifteen Years After Vietnam... 

If Americans Get Killed, Blame Joe. We Knew That They Would Need an Airplane Flight OUT... Months Ago... and What's Up with giving the Taliban Guns, Bullets, Night Vision Goggles, Stinger Missiles, Humvees, Helicopters and Airplanes... Didn't we do that with ISIS in Iraq? Does No One in the White House Remember History? are they all DUMB AS ROCKS? https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/planes-guns-night-vision-goggles-talibans-new-us-made-war-chest-2021-08-19/

and as American Idiot George Bush said... "Fool Me Once, Shame on You. Fool Me Twice... uh... Won't Get Fooled Again!"

and now for something completely different...

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


a friend emailed me a newspaper article: 

Headline: Climate change is radicalizing young people — here’s what that means and how to combat despair. 

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/30/how-to-stop-climate-change-despair-according-to-professor.html

Thanks. I Had Not Seen this Article... I went to Humboldt State University... where the author teaches... 

In general, I Have a Feeling of Hopelessness about climate change... I figure that we will have forest fires every summer in California and the entire western USA for the next 20 years and by then... all the forests will be gone replaced by cactus... We will All be Living in the desert... Drought instead of crops in the Central valley... 

There is a Great need to Stop driving cars, trucks, vans... or at least reduce travel by 50% or More... Stop flying in Jet airplanes entirely. Stop eating Bacon, Ham, Hamburgers and steaks... Methane IS a Greenhouse gas and Livestock Causes Methane... 

absolutely NONE of those actions are being done... as soon as the Coronavirus was "over" there were massive crowds at airports... 

and... the only real solution for me is to move to Eureka or Arcata California... It seems that the Climate within one mile of the ocean is NOT going to burn... Oregon, Washington, British Columbia or Alaska will be survivable... the Rest of the Country is Doomed... 

anyway... It's pretty damn smoky here in Orangevale... I'm staying indoors all the time and running the Air Conditioner... Listening to Science Fiction books being read Out Loud... a Total Escape from  reality...  

During the Late 1990s I was working at the Saratoga Ave Radio Shack during EL NINO... It was amazingly depressing to experience Rain, Rain, Rain every day... So... To Raise my spirits... My Father offered to buy me a Boat Ride down the Colorado River thru the Grand Canyon... WELL... Since the water was at the highest level in YEARS... I Declined... It Just seemed too damn dangerous... SO, I Took a Week in Las Vegas instead... and Rode the Rides... Played some Slots and Drank a Lot... The Star Trek Ride at the Hilton was EPIC. First, there was a Trekkie Decorated Casino and then... when we actually rode the ride... it simulated a Battle in Space with Klingons... and the Chairs moved a LOT when the Bombs Exploded... I also watched the Naval Battle at Treasure Island (Like in the Movie Miss Congeniality 2), Rode the Roller Coaster at New York New York... Danced to the song Aiko-Aiko At The Mardi Gras at the RIO but... I Refused to Ride the Roller Coaster at the StratosFEAR Tower... TOO MUCH! I Got in Line but Chickened out... and... All Along the Main Road... Flashing Lights... Much better than risking drowning in the Colorado River... 

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~ 

I must tell you about the time I wrote the Slogan "The Only Real Lines on the Map are Coastlines." I Was Waiting in my car for my wife to get thru shopping at the Dollar Store... While Gazing at the HAPPY DONUTS store across the Street... The Idea POPPED into my Mind Fully Written and Illustrated with the Photo of the Whole Earth... That's the true benefit of working at Zazzle creating Gifts... Whenever I Have a Spare Moment, I Can Design Art and Words... Often I Design Art While Dreaming or Just Lying Down in the Twilight Zone between being Awake and Being Asleep... Remember: Borders Between Countries are Totally Fake and CAUSE a Lot of Trouble...

HOWDY FOLKS! — 36.20384, -105.40882

Southwest Lightline: southwestlightline at gmail.com ~ SW Light Line: 602-518-7975

Vision Counsel will be held July 7th until consensus is reached.

Clean up will be July 8th and will continue until all concerned parties are satisfied every effort has been made to disappear any evidence we were even here.

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~ 

No Bonfires this Year? Smoking in Designated Areas Only? We Just Don't Know... Supposedly There is a Danger of Burning Down The Forest... Says the USDA... WE SHALL SEE! 

"ML" On Facebook Says: "No one will know exactly how it will play out till it plays out! There has been plenty of rain, but sometimes it takes more prayers for rain! We have had multiple Nationals in the area with same vibe! It's always worked out!"

"MT" Said: "Kitchen fires and those fires being maintained are exempt. The careless tossing of lit cigarette and other turntables on the ground randomly was always discouraged but ignored to the point of paying people just to pick up cigarette butts. This behavior will cause total shutdown of the working relationship between rangers and firefighters alike. The LEOs will use any excuse to complain to big brother. Don't give them one."


Report on 6/26/2021:
by Steve Duncan
1 river, 2 creeks and 9 springs with snow melt --- every thing is green, lush and in full bloom. The trees and rocks are awesome and the site is at 10K. Day temps are at 80 degrees with nights being cool at 50 degrees. There have been daily rains that have been a blessing to the gatherings and the southwest region.
Easy walk in from bus village and handi-camp which are up front. Plenty of family on site (1500 and growing) and they are helping everyone get set up, volunteer energy is incredible. Dispersed camping is vast, too many good spots to choose from because the area is huge and well preserved.
Entire region is under a stage 1 fire restriction and accommodations are being worked out with the forest service in efforts to allow fires, additional road access and other site specific desires are daily discussions.
People are working hard through the day, sharing in all ways with the evening time being full of good spirits, drums, guitars, singing and various lighting to include solar and LED. Kitchens are setting up and people are sharing food and dinner focus together. Later at night there is a calm hush with the whispers of nature speaking their truth, the air is smoke free fresh and stars are winking brightly with a vivid moon lighting the trails.
------ Daily updates on the website and communications are being relayed continually as everyone is doing their part to help get family home and to provide a safe, healthy and happy experience.
PSA: LEO's have fresh energy as well and are active patrolling along the road into the site as normal, a few are new and the old guard is just happy to be gathering again. Some are weirdos and some are super friendly. None of them are cool with marijuana, nudity or illegal acts and they are writing tickets. Be aware.
Marijuana is illegal in all the National Forests regardless of local and state legal views. Please read the Rap 420 and share this knowledge with the family. http://rainbowfamilygatherings.net/rap-420/

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.

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...
