During the Russian Revolution, The "Reds" Won and the "Whites" had to Get Out of Russia or get Killed... So... Many Fled to America! That's what happened people I Know... They Came to America, Shortened their Name and Built a Business, raised Kids... Truly enjoying the Blessings of Capitalism.
It's Wonderful that Columbus discovered "America" - A Place That People Can Escape To When there is a Disaster in the Old World. In My Own Family, My Great Great Grandmother...

Buying Used Stuff at Thrift Stores DOES NOT CAUSE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE Like Buying New Stuff Does. When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to Replace It.
Oddly, I Expressed These Opinions during a Group Discussion at an Ecology Class at Humboldt State University and ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS SAID I WAS WRONG... They said that Used Stuff Still Requires Ecological Damage to Exist at All... I tried to explain that the Manufacturing Damage Happened IN THE PAST and it is impossible to Change History but Buying New Stuff CAUSES Purchasing Agents at Corporations to Hire People to Create New Stuff IN THE FUTURE to Fill the Shelves At The Store. No One Grasped the Concept. But I Did Make The Other Students Think. and That's a Good Thing. It's a difficult concept... I Wish I Could Explain it in a Shorter Sentence... Maybe YOU can Re-Write the Concept Better and Post it in the Comments Section... Thanks!
Remember: There are Two Ways to Get Everything You Want. Get More or Want Less. and... You Can Get More Stuff Per Dollar At The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop... or Your Own Store... Did You Know that There is a Fashion "Thing" where Corporations PRE-RIP Clothes? Intentionally Making Them LOOK USED! Really! They Hire People to Rub Jeans over Rough Surfaces to SIMULATE Wear and Tear of Normal Use... I'm Not Making This UP! All the Pathetic Dupes are Wearing Clothes Like That! On My Own Webstore... I Offer Hats that have been "Distressed" to look like they are Old... It's an Option... I wish I could write a Mocking Slogan Poking Fun at this Fashion Trend... Then I Could Sell a Hat with That Saying... Sort of like the Question: "Can You Imagine a World Without Hypothetical Situations?" or The Page that says: "This Page Is Left Blank Intentionally." A Cosmic Haiku Slogan... I do sell a Hat that says "PRESS" so people can wear it at Protest Marches and Avoid Being Bashed on the Head By The Police... I Do Not Really Know if It REALLY Helps Avoid Police Violence... I Do Know That People Made T-Shirts Saying "Backstage Pass - Shoreline Ampetheater - Bill Graham Productions" and Used them to sneak past Security Guards... I admire the Guy that Made a Sign that Says "This is a Sign." Was That Absurdist Theater or End Times Warning?
"Life is More Complex than a Slogan on a Hat."
SE SAID:
There is too much plastic in the world. Practically everything is packaged in plastic nowadays. Shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, vinegar, coffee, salad dressing, barbeque sauce, mayonnaise, mustard, hand lotion - these are just a few things I have here in my apartment which are packaged in plastic. Also, bottled water, soft drinks, and juices are bottled in plastic bottles...and of course we also have our plastic storage containers for food and other stuff. Plastic pretty much lasts forever, and it's lightweight and convenient, and those are some of the reasons why it's everywhere. But it's so bad for the environment. It ends up in the landfills where it doesn't degrade. Or worse, it ends up in the ocean. When you consider the fact that nearly everything is packaged in plastic all over the world, and plastic is filling up landfills and ending up in the ocean all over the world, it's really a problem. But I don't know what the solution is. Plastic is so convenient and lightweight, and if you drop it, it won't break, so people aren't going to want to go back to drinking soda out of glass bottles or bringing their lunch to work in a ceramic casserole dish rather than a plastic storage container. I don't know what the answer is.
I Replied: We can Make Plastic Out of Hemp.
Boycott Plastic Garbage! Chicken of the Sea Tuna is Marketing "Infusions" with a Plastic Bowl, Lid and Fork. Trash that will pollute the Earth for 10,000 Years. REFUSE TO BUY PLASTIC CRAP.
I Oppose Small PLASTIC Containers for Single Servings of Food. Since We Already Have the Technology to Make Milk Cartons, WHY NOT use Waxed Paper for Cheese, Coffee, Yogurt and Sliced Ham? https://gvan42.blogspot.com/2019/06/i-oppose-small-plastic-containers-for.html
My first Wedding - Part of my Autobiography...
It is fun to write my autobiography... it makes me remember all the events of my life... My first wedding was quite an event! The Bicentennial! July 4th 1976...

R U SYRIA? (The Syrian Civil War): The USA Joined in this VERY COMPLEX battle in 2014 and is still there today, in 2019. There are about NINE (9) different sides all fighting each other.
The USA mostly deploys Drone Aircraft to Bomb Targets. Very few Boots on the ground and very few American Casualties.
Trump has ordered the troops home but then decided some should stay...
CLEARLY, This is a Bogus War with no real mission, no USA interest in who wins, and no end in sight.
It is difficult to take this war seriously as it seems to be a sick joke. R U SYRIA? sounds like a bumper sticker slogan... We are fighting for the KURDS... totally ignoring the WHEY... and of course, ISIS is an ancient Egyptian Goddess... The Wife of Osiris.
Often the USA Ships Weapons to the Middle East and then those weapons "ACCIDENTALLY" end up in Islamic Terrorist's Hands. The entire organization ISIS was enabled by the theft of US Weapons from Local Police who... reasonably... totally lost interest in fighting after the Iraq War Ended... HEY, Why would they care? The Infidels were defeated and they no longer had to pretend to be fighting on the USA side... So they gave trucks to ISIS... and Machine guns too... WHEE!

Great Movie: "The Mark of Zorro" He was a CHAMPION of Los Pobres de la Tierra de Los Angeles... Trump want's to build a WALL to keep the Mexicans Out. ABSURD!
A WALL won't keep the Mexican OUT, they have been here since 1760!
Father Junipero Serra built Missions all along California...
Did you ever notice that the weather is best in the mission district? He chose the best land to build!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jun%C3%ADpero_Serra
California was part of Mexico from 1760 to 1849 when gold was discovered and we became part of the USA. Texas was part of Mexico too. Florida Means Flowery Place in Spanish...
Most of the cities of California were founded by a Catholic Priest called Junipero Serra. That's why we have Spanish Names... San Jose was named for Saint Joseph... San Francisco was named for Saint Francis of Assisi... The Ciudad de Los Angeles=The City of the Angels... He rode north from Mexico on El Camino Real(the Royal Road) and built a Mission one days ride apart going up the coast... San Diego, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Monterrey all were Mexican towns originally.
In Texas, El Paso(The pass), Amarillo(yellow) and the Rio Grande(big river) have Spanish names.
It makes a lot more sense to be friends with Mexicans than to build a wall to keep them out.

Fund the Manned Mission to Alpha Centauri. It's Our Destiny.
It should have the ability to grow its own food and take many seeds to plant at the colony we build for permanent settlement.
Remember to take:
Humans (Women, Men and Children)
Animals... Elephants, Giraffes, Cats and Dogs... Everything except Rats, Mosquitos and Cockroaches... include Spiders and Ants... could be useful...
Plants... Corn, Trees, Wheat and Marijuana. Bring enough so that the trees can produce oxygen for breathing.
Fish... There be Whales, Captain... Dolphins, Tuna, Trout...
and those brightly colored Tropical Fish... I just like them.
Birds... after all, where would we get bird poop if we forgot to bring birds?
Spare Parts and the ability to build spare parts we forgot to bring...
Satellite Dish communication to the Internet.
The spaceship we build to colonize the stars has to be complete. If we forget to bring coffee plants or pizza... sorry... no delivery service available.
Hospital facilities. Especially important to hire pediatricians to deliver children and help them survive.
Other essential plants. Opium Poppies for chronic pain. Magic Mushrooms for mental health...
The design of the spaceship should include artificial gravity. Easy to implement as the ship will be accelerating for half the voyage and decelerating for the other half. Assuming that it may take a very long time to get to Alpha Centauri, it would be very healthful for the astronauts to be able to visit a planet if one is found and not have their bones destroyed by lack of gravity. This is especially important for people born in space.
There ought to be research laboratories for creating new life forms. DNA. Genetic Engineering. What if, when we get there a new type of life form is needed to survive the bizarre climate of the new world? Something that breathes methane for example... Well, unless we are able to change the climate of the new world...
It would be handy to change the lifeforms we bring to be compatible with what we find there. This would be a fine place to experiment with designing better humans... The basic flaw with Genetically Modified Humans is... What if they don't like us? A trend of life is to reproduce your own DNA without concern for all other DNA... What if they decided that there were too many old style humans and reduced the population from 7 billion to 100,000 people. That would help with problems caused by pollution and consumption. If we did our GM far away from here, there would be less opportunity for trouble.
and bring many single celled organisms... if all else fails, life can evolve from that.
Since the journey to Alpha Centauri will take a very long time, keeping the voyagers busy and sane is essential. They could do astronomy as the visibility far away from the sun would be better due to a dark sky. They could also actively try to contact aliens. If there was a ring of bright LED lights all around the spaceship, they could blink on and off in non-random patterns... For Example: a Fibonacci sequence or simply counting up... Any alien that observed such lights might conclude that they were odd and go investigate. The LEDs could broadcast in Visible light, infra-red and ultra-violet so they would be more visible to aliens that have eyes different than ours.
Also: astronauts could be kept busy writing songs, art and books and then beaming the results back to Earth. This will become more difficult as time goes on. The Star Alpha Centauri is 4 light years away... That's a slow internet connection...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.com
What if we visit Kepler-186f, the newly discovered earth-like planet?
Too far away for easy access. 490 light years...
Should we contact any life forms that already live there before bringing in our own DNA? Certainly we don't want to kill them all off by introducing a human style disease... We made that mistake when Europeans colonized America.
