Stop Collecting Gasoline Taxes in California meme

Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome - meme - gvan42

Gasoline Price Too High? Better Stop Driving... Why Pay a Fortune to Pollute the Air and Cause Climate Change When You Could Simply Leave The Damn Thing PARKED?

If You Sell Your Car You No Longer Have to Pay for Car Insurance. All those Crazy Ads on TV... They are Not Talking to ME! Liberty Mutual can F*CK OFF!

I Cut my Driving from About 50 Miles Per Day to 1 Mile per day by Simply NOT GOING PLACES... I DO Use LYFT to Visit the Doctor Twice a Year... 

Sure... People Say That Climate Change will only Kill Off Four Billion Humans and Then The World Will Heal BUT... Why Not Take Action Now and Prevent Disaster? All That Mad Rushing Around Traveling All Over the Place FOR AMUSEMENT is in My Past... THE Past... Yes... I Used to Drive All Over the USA in order to Dance at Grateful Dead Concerts... WELL... We Can't Do That Anymore...

and then I Read on FaceBorg:

A guy goes into a bar in Washington where there is a robot bartender.
The robot says, "What will you have?
The guy replies, "Whiskey."
The robot brings back his drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"
The guy say, "168."
The robot continues to talk about physics, space exploration, and medical technology.
After the guy leaves and the more he thinks about it, the more curious he gets, so he decides to go back.
The robot asks, "What's your drink?"
The guy answers, "Whiskey."
The robot returns with his drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"
The man replies, "100."
The robot talks about Nascar, Football and Hockey.
The man finishes his drink, leaves, but is so interested in his "experiment" that he decides to try again.
He enters the bar and, as usual, the robot asks him what he want to drink.
The man replies, "Whiskey."
The robot brings the drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"
The man answers, "50."
The robot leans in real close and says, “the election was rigged. Trump Really Won.”

#France - Pourquoi 88% des visiteurs de mon blog depuis des ordinateurs sont-ils situés en France ? Si vous savez... Commentez ou écrivez-moi : un e-mail : gregvan(at)yahoo(dot)com


The only Time I Speak of France is When I Hashtag the Start Date of the Revolution: #France1789 

La seule fois où je parle de la France, c'est quand je hashtag la date de début de la révolution : #France1789

 J'écris rarement sur la France... Sauf quand j'admire la Révolution française et la solution guillotine à la guerre des classes... Nous avons un problème de guerre des classes ici aux États-Unis... Les milliardaires achètent des sénateurs, des membres du Congrès et des gouverneurs - et la seule tâche pour les dirigeants "élus", c'est PLUS de réductions d'impôts pour les riches... 

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

I Rarely Write about France... Except when I admire the French Revolution and the Guillotine Solution to Class War... We Have a Class War Problem here in the USA... Billionaires BUY Senators and Congressmen and Governors - and The Only Task for the "Elected" Leaders is MORE Tax Cuts for the Rich... More Federal Subsidies and Fewer IRS Audits... 

Location of Computers that visit my blog - France? Why?



TAX the RICH - Cut Taxes on the Rest of Us... It's Called Bubble Up Economics. Raise the Minimum Wage to $15.00 and Increase All Social Security Payments 15%... We Promise to Spend the Extra Money at American Businesses... Increasing Profits! Everybody Wins!

and a Letter from Lisa Garr host of the Aware Show.

“Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.”
― Alan Wilson Watts
Concentration is key. It unlocks the doors of perception and develops your ability to sustain clarity and awareness. What you pay attention to becomes your reality in curious and beautiful ways. When you develop the capacity to focus your attention and bring your full-self to that process, the universe has no choice but to follow your lead.
By returning, over and over again to your vision (or your transformational story), you are inviting the swirling vibrant universe to see itself in a unique and new way. This creates that ‘AHA’ moment your creative self longs for. It is within this alignment of attention, awareness and embodiment that your strongest ideas will arise. It is in this moment that deeper levels of your story become available for you to incorporate. It’s this present moment where you expand towards your true vibrant self.
All this takes is patience, courage and a willingness to come back to the practice over and over again. It makes a lot of sense how fragmented and chaotic the vast landscape of our media world is. Bright colors, flashing lights, dancing bodies, and smiling models all squished together to make sure we are paying attention to products... like soda pop. Or whatever else it is the marketplace is selling at any given time.
This is why I feel so called to this emerging field of conscious media. This is how I stay focused and aligned. I come back over and over again to witness your stories of transformation, your miracles of health and well being, and your awakening.
In love & gratitude, Lisa Garr

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!

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?

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...

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.

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...
