Evidence is the only way to determine if something is true. - Richard Dawkins - Great Books: Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds - The Search for the Manchurian Candidate - John Marks The Monkeywrench Gang - Ed Abbey

I saw a TV Show called "9/11 The Towers and The Pentagon" that had a lot of film that I had not seen before. However, there are still no photographs of an AIRPLANE at The Pentagon. Quite mysterious...

Laura Flanders TV Show: Trump's budget for the USA reduces the amount spent on people and the environment and increases the amount spent on the military.
17 years of war in the Middle East has left the USA in more danger than before. Terrorist Organizations use our bombing to recruit new members.
The War has caused great destruction of the countries in the Middle East. Clearly spending money on the Military is a bad idea.
It didn't help Iraq or Afghanistan.

Save Richardson Grove Redwood Trees in California. On Highway 101 on the way towards Eureka from San Francisco the road goes thru a stand of old growth Redwoods. The road twists and turns in such a way that it's easy for cars and trucks to drive thru but not Two Trailer trucks. Corporations have been trying to widen the road for decades but tree huggers have prevented the removal of the forest for increased profit. There is another way to get merchandise to Eureka from San Francisco...
Use boats... Both cities have great harbors.

bioneers.org mushrooms and bee life extension. Paul Stamits. Bees that eat certain mushrooms that grow on birch trees live longer. It fights viruses that grow on mites. Old growth forests are intelligent. We cannot talk to them because of our lack of a common language. The bees knew that they should eat the mushrooms.

It appears that the Gods are angry at us. Hurricanes, Earthquakes and Forest Fires. I think there is a message... Global Warming is Real and we ought to do something about it. Drive our cars less, exhaust causes air pollution and increases Greenhouse Gasses in the atmosphere. Use less electricity... Power plants often burn coal or natural gas and pollute the air. If it becomes normal to have two Hurricanes every year in the USA a large coastal area will become uninhabitable. From Texas to Florida and up the east coast all the way to New York will become a disaster zone.
Maybe we need Aztec or Mayan Priests to sacrifice a virgin on top of a pyramid. Maybe that would appease the Gods. I read an article in the newspaper that says the best place to survive global warming is Eureka, California. I hate reading such articles because those of us that are already here don't want a bunch of immigrants moving here. It would wreck everything... Too many people cause traffic jams, increase rental prices and cause long lines at the grocery stores. So, don't come here... keep on going North to Oregon! It's great there!

Let's build cities using Disney's original EPCOT Design. Concentric circles connected by monorails.
Work in the center surrounded by home/shopping then parks and farms. That way people would not waste so much time commuting to work. Less money spent on gas for cars, less air pollution, less global warming and fewer hurricanes. For example consider San Jose California. There is a lot of work available at computer companies. However there are not enough homes for the people that work there. Many people commute over an hour from the bedroom communities of Santa Cruz or Tracy. If we moved the jobs closer to where the people live, the workers would be happier since they would not be spending an hour stuck in a traffic jam every morning before work. Also the employees would not be spending so much money on housing and automobile fuel. We could move offices by creating a database of where the employees live and building new work locations near those locations. Under the current system, zoning laws separate factories from homes. That made sense when factories
caused air and water pollution and people did not want to live near that pollution. However, many jobs today are office work where people sit at desks and work on computers all day. No pollution at office jobs. We could have these employers move to the suburbs. Maybe they could use the abandoned shopping malls. Amazon's business model has caused traditional retail businesses to go bankrupt. It is simply more efficient to shop online and have the USPS deliver the products than for the shoppers dive to the shopping mall and buy the products there. I see that Amazon is planning to build a second headquarters where they will be hiring 50,000 people. A better plan would be to create 10 mini headquarters employing 5,000 people each. Each of these mini headquarters could use the EPCOT model. Experimental Planned City of Tomorrow. It's simply better.

Great Movie: A Fierce Green Fire. A History of the Ecology movement.

Includes many films of Greenpeace saving the whales and the Brazilian rubber harvesters saving the Rainforest of the Amazon. It's an Optimistic movie showing that people can change the world.

We really need to fight the current President's destruction of the Environmental Protection Agency. Trump has appointed corporate lobbyists to head the agency and repeal environmental protection laws. Trump stands for more drilling for oil and gas in the USA, more fracking and more pollution of the air and water. The protection of the environment costs corporations money. It's far cheaper to simply dump toxic poison into the river... Dow chemical and Dupont are very happy to collect increased profits at the expense of the people of the USA.

AND... Trump sings the praises of "Clean Coal"... A fundamental lie... It's obvious that coal mining causes black lung disease and coal burning causes air pollution. Trump believes that speaking words can reverse reality and somehow make Coal Clean. Absurd.

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.

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. 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...
