Know why older politicians really hate Iran?
Hey, kids. Whenever I hear older (gen x and the walking boomer) politicians bitching about Iran, rattling their swords and tossing threats, I know why they really hate Iran and it has little to do with whatever they might be saying to justify that hate today: Wanna know why? 1979 and the Ayatollah. (Iām gonna dumb the following down a bit, just so that I can stay on task.) This bit ofā¦
#Peace
Hey True Believers, Believe it or not, Peace used to be a good thing. When I was but a wee lad back in the 1970s, I think that I learned the peace sign before I learned how to flip the bird. Vietnam, you know? Everyone had had enough of that ordeal. They didnāt care about winning or losing people just wanted it over. Peace. Thereās so much war going on and I was walking with Rigby (the littleā¦
In Maine, It's Legal for Adults to have sex with sixteen Year Olds! Yup.
Hey, True Believers. (Hereās a grotty one for you.) You hear a lot of controversies on-line where someone, a YouTuber or a podcaster, comedian, etc. has been accused of contacting, or even engaging in sexual activities with under-aged girls. Theyāll state things such as: āAnd she was only 17!ā or āShe was under-aged, only 16!ā And I always think: āThings must be different in Europe and Canadaā¦
On Grief and the Meaning of True Love
Hey, True Believers! So. On my most recent experience with griefand the meaning of true love. This last year, since Maggie crossed over, has been more challenging than I imagined it could ever be. I woke each morning with panic attacks that lasted at least three hours, often lingering throughout the day. Like, every morning I would crawl out of bed, sit down, sip coffee and wait for the initialā¦
It's Maggie's birthday today, so we're dancing at 4pm (just 10 seconds.)
Hey, True Believers, Today would have been Maggieās 32nd birthday and at 4pm, Iām going to dance for her, for ten seconds. Itās something we do when we want to do something but we arenāt quite sure what to do: we dance, Why for only ten seconds? Because anyone can dance or jiggle or wriggle for ten seconds. When we (Peregrine Starr and I) first started this practice, and then Maggie, we wereā¦

Why I'm not allowed to possess a fire arm. Ever!
(Howdy, folks. I thought that Iād repost this one ā from May ā22 ā due to Mr. Trumpās felony and the differences between a poor and a wealthy felon. Enjoy!) True Believers! I thought that youād get a kick out of this one, which in a way illustrates where weāre at. Iām not allowed to possess a fire arm, ever, because back in my younger years (after many AA meetings but before Naltrexone) Iā¦
From 2021: "the Weekend at Bernie's" Presidency.
(I originally scribbled this piece back in September, 2021. ) Hey, true believers. I donāt have a lot of faith in US corporate journalism, you know? During the last administration they were persecuted yet fearless in pursuit of truth, and now they seem to be a bit.. well, selectively blind. The same way that those who elected Mr. Trump chose to be (again, a few years ago, if you were gettingā¦

Therapist or Rent-a-friend? Todays state of Psychological counseling
Hey True Believers. You know iām a wee bit mental, yeah? That and the alcohol addiction and then the brain injury and blah blah blah, right? So, you could assume and rightly so that during my career in the machine Iāve had a gaggle of therapists. I wanted to share my wisdom concerning this as old folks do. Ready? Here we go. There are two types of therapists out there right now: the paid guideā¦

On Citizens United vs FEC and why we've lost the ability to make an informed choice.
Hey, True Believers, Hereās my Citizens United vs. the FEC piece. I was going to throw in a lot of background, you know, history, and Andrew Jackson selling positions in the government for money, etc., but, I wonāt. This is, after all,Ā a land of ācareer politicians,ā and what the hell is that about except making money and garnering status and influence? Instead, Iāll start with documentaryā¦

"This is what you shall do." Again, a reminder from the ghost of Walt Whitman.
āThis is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducatedā¦

Does power corrupt or not? On the lack of term limits for Members of the US Congress
Power corrupts, yes? I mean, is that just one more American-meaningless aphorism, or is it true? Is it something which you, true believer, agree with? That was the rationale behind the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, which formalized the two term limit on holding the office of president of the United States ā too much time in office equals too much power. Prior to Franklin Delanoā¦

The problem with voting for the lesser of two evils
Hey, true believers, Hereās a short one for you. The problem with voting for the lesser of two evils is that the lesser evil is still evil. Shake that one up and bang it. Love and rockets, Rage By the way, my dogs wrote this one ā thanks Grammarly! (Iām just kidding. I can read and write.).

Back in 2020, re: Biden's nomination, I scribbled this one: "Mr. Trump must be secretly delighted!"
āWhen I have a difficult subject before me and can see no other way of teaching a well-established truth except by pleasing one intelligent man and displeasing 10,000 fools I prefer to address myself to one man and take no notice whatsoever of the condemnation of the multitude.āĀ ā Rabbi Moses Maimonides, 12th Century Yes, True believers, I believe that Mr. Trump must be secretly delighted thatā¦

On Dark Nights of the Soul and Where I've been and on and on.
Hey, kids. Sorry that itās been a long, long minute. I gotta tell you, Maggieās death really cut deeply. Knocked me far off of my board, left me shattered and so, so sad, and so so furious. When I got the call that sheād been found dead, I danced for her (per a previous agreement that Iāll talk about at some point) I recall thinking, āI hate the grieving process. Bad timing, Maggie.ā When sheā¦
