I was in San Francisco in '65, '66, '67, and '68. Built Burr Tillstrom's puppet theater for Kukla, Fran, and Ollie at WTTW, Channel 11, Chicago. Briefly taught stage carpentry at De Paul Univ. Technical Director one season at Oak Park Shakespeare Festival.
Played trumpet in many small jazz bands, Sextessence, Nova Express. Played on road tour with rock band and many union and studio gigs. Lived with the Rasta in Blue Mountains, Jamaica.
Drove millions of accident-free miles Over the Road in big trucks, 48 states and Canada.
Currently living alone, caring for four rescued animals, one of which a kitten I recently found 'helpless as a kitten up a tree', abandoned in a city park. He came down to my call, so we folded him into the family. Without someone to care for life makes little sense. All reason is born of the heart. As Maya Angelou wrote, "Love holds the stars in their courses."

probably the best 100-page book for serious thinkers, ever. A concise survey of the culture and civilization of mankind. A journey through history of lives, ideas, and accomplishments and cycles of war and conquest. A must-read for objective analysis of current events in a five-thousand-year perspective. A treasure.

Election prediction by algebra The Fix Is In, and the election is a fait accompli. Anybody thinking they can waste a vote on third parties or omit voting altogether doesn't realize these guys play for all the marbles and for keeps, and they REALLY don't care what you think.

a reply to Dr. Bramhall's supposed pathology of nonviolence It is not nonviolence, but the dominance of a medium of exchange over life, itself, that is pathological.

President Obama Issues Emancipation Proclamation and Pentagon Adopts Life-Saving Mission The old strategy of military dominance and subjugation of women will not work anymore. Because we are technically at war, the President can issue an emancipation proclamation under Article two. Defense is more about saving lives and winning hearts and minds than taking lives.
