Obama 2013

Obama how time does not fly... I thought somehow that we were maybe approaching the last year of your term. Ah well It's all Life. He, as well as George Bush Jr.  and me and you are here for a purpose and can do but what we can do and  ....  I sure can do more I tell myself every night as I turn in, as the day ends. I guess I just contradicted my point but maybe I am mistaken maybe I can't do more than what I am doing at this moment. Nor can he or you.

 Every moment has to be passed through there are no short cuts despite my impatience. Despite his missteps and misjudgements there may never be as better days for America than these.

 I read in today's paper that he says he is going to turn towards the issue of 'inequality' in his remaining term, sounds like a winner. If you can position yourself with the '99 percent' sounds like you might have some support. I turn on the skeptical brain every day I read the paper when it comes to pronouncements from public officials particularly one's I have become so familiar with such as President Obama. Best wishes to President Obama as he makes his way through his final years leading our lost country. (His comments are always self-serving after all that is the point guy - that's a given)



 I just see Obama as a very shortsighted individual whose only hope is to get his name on the next great bill, that will save this country. Like Obamacare, to which he will be a tireless promoter, but will he ever apply a critical eye to the situation of our country and even listen to what the conservative side of our country thinks let alone the independent 'progressive/  liberal' side which there is as many of you know.

   Obama is deeply dependent on the Republicans and the media, to keep his constituency convinced he knows what he is doing. I am not sure why there aren't more careful conservative voices but somehow the world will always sprout up the Conservative who is deeply callous to other people, nations or the environment and Obama can safely bash Republicans and we can all say well at least we don't have Republicans running things. Sit back like the sweating little frog as the water begins to boil.

San Rafael

Sitting in the San Rafael library… 15 minutes before times up on this computer..

I need a place to live. Economical, temporary is fine. Even camping out options are OK.

I’ve been losing things at a steady rate usually find them again after a few hours, days…
Today I am without my Rusty/Orange back pack, REI with the torn zipper.. Inside a couple of portable hard drives, glasses and my cell phone.

Not at… CMCM studio, True North Pizza, 19 Broadway nor Fairfax PD. I’ll go reorganize the VW Beetle which I must sell ASAP but I need a place to live
to put the music equipment etc… in my vehicle.

I guess I have let go of the idea of Mendocino (not easily)… bury me here. Hopefully not real soon.

‘So you want to serve the people of  America?’ I was thinking about the police and their training. I drew up an imaginary plan appointed 10 notable Americans… Michael Strahan, John Madden, Whoopi Goldberg, General Petraeus, Merle Haggard, Deepak Chopra,  add a few more. They were ordered to develop a plan for every police academy school in America. To learn about people skills to learn about disarming people, to learn how to become a new Police for America… I would give every prospective Police officer this 10 day training to find out about what it is to be alive and to respect all people. No one could become an officer or carry a gun on behalf of our government(s) without that basic training.

The Napa – Vallejo Earthquake.. don’t forget Vallejo people.

Population growth is the big environmental issue. My lighthearted friend Sierra says.. Either ‘Suicide or Homicide?’  that’s the solution…I am more in favor of just working with Nature for the first time in this Civilization’s evolution. Zero expansion of the human footprint, millions of trees planted, every 7th parking space.. plant a tree. $5,000 annual, grant for every American who doesn’t own a car. (I havn’t done the math).

Real Estate, the owning of parcels of the Earth for development, economic return not as in the Natural bounty from this parcel if tended or cared for, but to find humans who will
pay an ever growing fee to live… squeezed by the expanding population. Got to change.

Wall Street, the measure of the buying and selling of symbolic shares of large companies
by individuals in the hopes that these companies deliver an ever expanding financial return. Ultimately undermining the civilization itself. Elimination of smaller competition,
consolidation of the market place ‘market share’… Increasing abilities to control greater share of wealth.. Given that money is supposed to represent a fixed amount of currency, the greater the wealth at the top… the less circulating at the bottom. Of course we are into the games of 2014 where the deficit shrinks Oh really but the debt keeps on growing.. Oh well. Why do I even write this.

Thank God for Atheists for trying to keep us honest, I’m not in that camp of belief, but
It wouldn’t surprise me if God was more favorably disposed to Atheists than the Theists
who don’t shoulder responsibility for their lives or even worse threaten murder and vengeance in God’s name.

It’s a cosmic thing. Where we are where we are going. After the first American Revolution and during it and in fact all through life our ancestors would thank Providence, this divine unfolding for seeing them through as do I and try to take one day at a time on this beautiful but difficult journey.
