I was excited for about one hour... about this NASA rocket ship to the Moon. It's got that real "Back to the '60s" feel... You know... Woodstock, Stonewall Riots... The movie 2001...
Some slogans stood the test of time... "Think for Yourself and Question Authority" was a really insightful quote by Dr Timothy Leary... But the mainstream media repeated his slogan "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out" a million times because that lead to young people NOT causing trouble for the military industrial complex...
"Question Authority" button for sale. (you may change the words if you want to) Upside down American flag - a signal of distress at sea!
The Number of Uneducated Racist Old White Men is Shrinking... Most Voters are Young People, Minorities, Women or College Graduates.
The GOP is Doomed... DOOMED!
The GOP will lose the next election IF we have an election at all... It looks like Trump's plan is to do a "False Flag" Operation and then declare Insurrection and Cancel the Midterm Elections...

Kamala Harris, Daughter of Immigrants, Is the Face of America’s Demographic Shift...
Her parents’ arrival to Berkeley as young graduate students was the beginning of a historic wave of immigration from outside Europe that would change the United States in ways its leaders never imagined.

IMMIGRANTS MADE SILICON VALLEY... Sure, All the Famous Names in High Tech are White Men BUT... Behind the Scenes... People From All Over The World Came Here... AND BUILT A MIRACLE.
Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniac, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, William Hewlett, David Packard, Gordon Moore, Andy Grove, Robert Noyce, Jack Kilby, Thomas Watson, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, William Shockley, Herman Hollorith, Alan Turing, John Von Neuman, Charles Babbage, Fibonacci, Nicola Tesla ...White Men... Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper ...White Women...
If You Don't Recognize any of These Names... Just Google Them! and be Thankful that Great White Men Created Electricity, Computers and the Internet!

and NOW for Something Completely Different
a Page from my Autobiography...
~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~
In 1971, a friend of mine went to San Francisco and went to the Fillmore West and came back to our high school and said... LET"S BUILD OUR OWN using the old mill in the center of town. We formed an organization called "Youth Unlimited" and got the Town to Sponsor Us with $1 per year rent for Forbes Mill.
That was the beginning of The Forbes Mill Teen Club in Los Gatos California... We had a light show and electric rock music every weekend... On Wednesday nights we performed folk music. I was the head of security and did advertising posters. I used the mimeograph machine at the High School to print the posters for upcoming shows...
"Youth Unlimited" first held a concert in the Rec Room of the Presbyterian Church next to Old Town on University Ave. There was a live rock band that featured a saxophone player with an electric sax. We also formed a drum circle outside with me playing harmonica and a couple of guitar players.

Since we had Town sponsorship of our "Teen Club" thru the organization Youth Unlimited, we had to make sure no laws were being broken at Forbes Mill or the police would shut us down. Certainly no drinking or illegal drug use or housing of runaways. My take on law enforcement was to direct potential lawbreakers to the nearby hole in the fence that lead to the wooded area next to the freeway. I admit that a lot of laws were broken on State of California property, but that was NOT MY CONCERN. I was responsible for making sure that OUR property was crime free.
The light show was created by using four slide projectors and two spinning wheels with variable speed motors that blocked the light from reaching the white wall behind the bandstand. Each cardboard wheel had holes cut into it so that the slides would be projected in a stroboscopic manner. Some slides were abstract art created by "crystal craze" paint and others were photographs.
We also owned a strobe light and I learned to not point it at the electric organ player because the blinking light made it impossible to see which keys were black and which were white...
"Youth Unlimited" also built a crisis center called Fre-Ba-ZAK House.
It was in an old wooden home on North Santa Cruz Ave. The idea was to have a place for runaways to have a safe location to negotiate with their parents. Kids that had nowhere else to go could go there ... My friend Richard Bergholdt worked there as a counselor. I used to go there because it was a fun place to go talk with other classmates... I remember drinking coffee and discussing weighty subjects late at night. One time I went there because I couldn't go home. I had gone to the Ike and Tina Turner concert at the San Jose Convention Center and took a Large Dose of LSD. I had to wait until my parents went to sleep before going home. It was a great concert and I remember that MANY of the students at LGHS went. I also remember listening to the FM radio there. Talks by Alan Watts about Buddhism... and the story "The Cave" by Plato. There were some totally free radio stations then. They had the freedom of selecting what to play and when to play it. I heard "Space Hymn" by Lothar and the Hand People at Fre-Ba-ZAK House.
