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.

They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on... Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store) does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home. NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help. I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..." A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF!

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!

and then I read this On Facebook... All About California and Forest fires...

If you're not from California, here are some important things you need to know about our fires:

Most of our fires are grass fires, not forest fires. In the summer, our grass turns a beautiful golden color all over the state. Rolling, golden hills will always mean "home" to me. Even if California's forests were "raked" daily, the fires would still be happening.

The state of California manages just 3% of our forest land. The federal government manages most of it. So when Trump says that California's forest land is mismanaged, think: "Congratulations
; you just played yourself."

If you lived in California in the 80s, you might remember people saying that California would basically burn down every year if we did not do something about "global warming," as we called it at the time. And here we are.

California is huge. We have the world's fifth largest economy, surpassed only by the US as a whole, China, Japan, and Germany. California's economy is larger than every other nation on earth. When you hear that we're "failing" and a "shithole," that's political propaganda. Economically, geographically, and demographically, we are one of the most diverse political entities on the planet.

This means that very little you can say about California applies to the state as a whole. Life in San Francisco resembles life in London more than it resembles life in Bakersfield. Part of the beauty and allure of California is that, no matter what you want, we have it. Metropolitan cities are an hour away from rolling farmland, which is an hour away from the desert, which is a few hours away from snow-capped mountains. Get in your car and drive in any direction for a few hours and you'll see six different Californias.

People come here from all over the world, and that's our strength. We are your future-- no one race or ethnicity has a majority here, although Latinx people have the plurality, which will soon be true for America as a whole. But even "Latinx" is a category so broad as to be almost meaningless. California was once Mexico, so people of Mexican descent have always had the demographoc upper hand, but you can't pick up a square mile of California anywhere without getting Salvadorans and Guatemalans in that mix, along with Syrians, Lebanese, Persians, Ethiopians, people from the Caribbean, Chinese, Filipinx, and so much more. That diversity has always been one of our greatest strengths. You've heard of Sutter's Mill, where gold was first discovered? It's in the town of Coloma, which was almost entirely owned by a family of formerly enslaved Black people. You can still see the son's smithy and several other historic family buildings if you go there, which I recommend that you do! The whole town is basically a California history field trip.

California has always opened her arms to the world, and it's made us stronger, better, wealthier, and more beautiful.

We have nothing but love to give the rest of the United States. Well, that and our significant tax contributions (we pay more to the federal government than we get back), ports, industry, films, and music. Oh, and we produce the most food of any state. But mostly love.

So the next time someone tries to blame grass fires caused by lightning on "bad forest management," stand up for the Golden State, OK?

and I Replied: 

I remember that TV Interview with Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom and Trump... Trump was speaking of the Fire That Happened in the town of "PLEASURE" - The Actual Fire happened in the town of "PARADISE" - A Classic Example of An Old Person with a FRIED BRAIN... The meanings of the words are similar and they reside in the same location of the brain... and When Trump attempted to DO DATA RETRIEVAL of the NAME of the Town He was standing in... There was a Data Error and the Wrong word popped out of his mouth... I  am a 67 Year old man and some "Senior Moments" have happened in my life... BUT... I'm retired and errors just don't matter when you're retired... That's WHY It's Really Important for OLD PEOPLE to Retire... and GET OUT of Politics... Look at Biden... He's Freaking Senile... NOT as Bad as Trump but... Joe really ought to be sitting near the wood burning stove at the country store and... babble about "Kids These Days" 

and she said: 

Yeah, it's no big deal when an older person accidentally says the wrong word. But someone like that should not be President of the United States. The president needs to be able to address the nation in a clear and articulate manner. But if they talk in word salad, people get confused and misinterpret some of what they said. And that's a problem with someone as prominent and important as the president, because people are listening to them and looking to them for guidance. So it's not a job for anyone who can't articulate properly.

I replied: 

What I've noticed is sometimes it takes me a week to remember someone's name... for example: the editor of the school newspaper at HSU... I really admired her for being like Woodward and Bernstein... Well, I'm certain to remember her NOW... Eileen McGee, KHDU radio, Arcata, California (she also worked at the School Radio Station) https://www.grassrootspeace.org/depleted_uranium_rokke_03.html
