Lost your job? Consider becoming a “contact tracer” – CBS News History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes, said Mark Twain. Prepare for the New Nazis – the Grandest collection of Paid Busybodies the world will have ever known. First it was ‘Protecting the Homeland’ with the TSA, kapos* proudly selected and paid to assault …

I make chili pretty often. I use beans in my recipe, and onions, garlic, garden tomatoes, peppers, et cetera. Sometimes I add other stuff like the half can of corn that’s in the fridge, or the last quarter cup of oat groats in the cupboard that I just want to get used up. Before you …

I have always loved language and languages. “He who does not know another language does not know his own,” said Goethe, and it is so true. Nothing else expands our minds the same way. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis claims in fact that the language we use to speak (and think) actually affects the way we perceive …

About seven years ago I was in Sam’s Club looking at the high dollar disposable razors I used at the time. I finally said “No thanks,” and put them back. I determined that I was going to get back to the basics with shaving in the same way I had with food and many other …

Judge sentences Texas Salon Owner to jail and fines her because she refused to apologize for reopening. True. This is kind of the definition of Authoritarianism, what in Transactional Analysis would be called the Parent-Child dynamic. This pathetic piss-ant judge wants this woman to “apologize for being selfish,” like she is a petulant child. Her …

Beauty… what is it really? I came across a YouTube where a young woman sent an unaltered picture of herself to Photoshop experts around the world with the instructions, “Make me beautiful.” The results were interesting. The video is 2 minutes. Naturally, people will have their own preferences, and we should be thankful for that. …

Unless things change soon, your children or grandchildren will be eating lab-grown “meat” and think it’s normal. An unholy abomination, but by then we’ll have human clones walking among us anyway. Unborn meat for unborn people. Neither having a soul. Both Tyson Foods and Bill Gates are heavily invested in this technology. Isn’t that comforting? …

A friend accompanied me to Home Depot a number of years ago. As we exited the store the alarm went off. I kept walking while my friend stopped in panic, waiting for the SWAT team to come strip-search him. “Why didn’t you stop?” he asked me when he got to the truck. “Did you steal …

I was heavily imbibed one night many years ago and received an email from a Republican friend forwarding disinformation about how messed up something was with some leading Democrat. What she described was indeed messed up, but simply forwarding the same misinformation yet again really set me off that night. “She’s smarter than this,” I …

Unfriended; chalk up one more for “tolerance”…. A friend screamed at me one night over the phone two or three years ago that she belonged to “the party that cares about people!” It has been no secret for a long time that I disdain both political parties as two wings of the same bird, and …

I criticize Bankers a lot, and have been concerned for some time about my criticism being misunderstood. My wrath is dedicated to those psychopaths in government and on Wall Street who long ago determined, by stealth and deception, to misappropriate for themselves everything the common man had ever honestly worked for. I have never harbored …

1973 — I was thinking of the age in which this song was written. It was a time before every emotion was ran through an amplifier and turned into a parody. A time more organic, before even compassion itself was manufactured. You couldn’t yet patent lifeforms. That realm still belonged to God, whether you believed …

“The only way to stop playing a game is to stop.” — Eric Berne, The Games People Play I was the first of five children born in our family. As kids we would sometimes play Monopoly. Being the oldest I had an advantage in figuring out how to win. I was also the Banker. As …

This was originally posted for a small group of friends on Facebook, and I was unsure I would post it here. I do so now after some deliberation. I believe this is something that should be thought about on a broader scale, asking why we glorify ‘thugness’ – whether it was James Cagney during the …

You think this ends well? Never forget that debt is slavery… at ANY interest rate. Hold the people to account who insist on placing their yoke on you! And quit voting for stuff you don’t have the money for! Contrary to what these crooks tell you, no one is going to ‘cover’ your portion for …

This piece of music was Gustav Mahler’s own love letter to his wife Alma. “How much I love you, you my sun, I cannot tell you that with words.” The Adagietto from Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, performed in Tokyo by the NHK Symphony Orchestra, Myung-Whun Chung conducting. A superb performance. 11:47
Another European. A beautiful song with beautiful imagery. I hope you enjoy. There are some striking scenes of the plasma which surrounds the Earth… the aurora borealis.

Did you know that the Earth has its own vibrational frequency? It does. It is 7.83 Hertz (Hz), and it’s called the Schumann Resonance. When your brain is at its ultimate state of relaxation, like the state you might experience with practiced meditation (not sleep), your brainwaves are operating in this same frequency. It is …
