***** '' The Cuba visit and the president’s pointed refusal to abort it for European problems is a hint of the president’s truest inclinations. He would rather be working in concert with people he respects than struggling against entitled opposition. He would rather be having fun. And he is a man of the left. He has heard the voices of Black Lives Matter and Bernie Sanders. He cares about racial justice. Expect to see more of this Barack Obama after his emancipation, next January 20. ''......
Help needed. Solar generators on car tops and or trailers......
I really want to see the following product line developed. My interest is not Financial, it has to do with saving the Earth from the fiery hell of global warming.
My interest is far from idle. I have miniscule means, but if by some miracle talented individuals, particularly engineering, emerge, what little monthly income I have I would be interested in putting behind such an effort, along with what talents I have or could develop for internet fundraising.
The idea is to develop to the point of feasibility ' and to promote the idea of , solar trailers and solar car tops. Did you know that 80% of residences that otherwise could use solar energy cannot do so because of the occupants being renters, or zoning, or other reasons?
You know of my solar trailer. What I am tantalized by is the possibility through a combination of things including clever folding mechanism, some sort of anchor to deal with wind issues, and even to track the Sun as it crosses the sky, to develop something that instead of being limited to about 100 Watts , could accommodate 2, 3, 400 watts (when stationary, and when wind conditions don't preclude doing so). I hope you can imagine the kind of thing I'm envisioning. Bicycles, electric bicycles, and cars be they electric cars or not, sit stationary for a long periods of the day.
Right now I'm sitting with my vehicle stationary at K Street, lobbyist Row in Washington DC, with my panel angled toward the Sun , I reposition it every couple of hours to be directly at the sun, generating electricity that I will use tonight to power some of my appliances in my apartment. If I had two or three or four hundred Watts I could easily generate enough electricity to power everything in my apartment including refrigerator and small range.
If you ever think of any talented individuals, most particularly mechanical and or electrical engineering, that might want to do even exploratory discussions on the electrical, mechanical, financing or marketing aspects of this PLEASE let me know.
And no need to consider this idea proprietary to me. As I say, I am interested in seeing it developed, my interest is not personal or financial.

***** A monumentally valuable gift for you. I received it weeks ago and I share it with you.
All of us in Western culture are taught in a million ways white supremacy. For many of us, it is taught as so benign. It is taught so unintentionally. Making it all the more Insidious.
The gift I received was a sentence that caught my eye in some article, I have no recollection of the article itself. It was the notion that people of color are the color of Earth, the color of nature. By implication, white people, like me, are not the color of Earth, are not the color of nature. More the color of death, the color of bleached bones.
Quickly this is showing promise as a tool that I was never human enough to even realize I wanted or needed. When I think to do so this notion naturally and easily allows me to catch a glimpse of we white folks as not the superior, but the mutant, the deathly mutations that in point of fact we are. It is not people of color that are in the final stages of destroying Earth. It is we white ones.
No, it is not my desire to learn to hate myself, or to view white people as inferior. But I welcome this potential 2x4 to wack some of the notion of white Supremacy out of me that permeates my every pore.
''You make my world better, just knowing that you exist.'' Surely one of the nicest things that has ever been said to me.

***** Pls reply: If everyone went to college what percentage of those who went to college would have a job that either used their skills and or paid back for their education? My guess is about 1%. This education thing may be the nastiest scam ever. It is a way to make the folks with a college education feel justified in their economic over privilege and at the same time keep those without an education believing that it is their fault that they don't have a decent, living wage , job, rather than the fault of those with education.

Remember how the people sent the bankers in Iceland to prison? Seems like we should be doing the same thing to GMOs Scientists, scientists who developed fracking, scientist who developed Deepwater Drilling, scientist who developed nuclear power, scientists developing the robots that are automating everyone's jobs.... And somehow the Liberals, almost all scientists are liberals, can't understand why white people whose livelihoods are being destroyed by their science, can't understand why they are pissed off. I suppose it was the same for the Liberals back in the 1930s in Germany. Of course those liberals just joined Hitler's regime and developed his weapons, developed as computers for cataloging the Jews for extermination comma Etc. And the Liberals can't understand why the non-intellectual elites get so pissed off. Incredible stupidity.

St Patrick's day. My friend just enlightened me. ''It is strange that in my family the potato famine was talked about often. The deliberate starvation of the Irish people.

It is strange that in my family the potato famine was talked about often. The deliberate starvation of the Irish people.
I learned nothing about it in American school. But hey people in America think St. Pats day is a wonderful thing. Yet not to my family... He was a horror. The snakes he drove from Ireland.... Non Christians.... Gypsy, Druid, and other religious and native culture people's. When I was little the teacher told us to wear green to celebrate and I told my family I had to do it... Lol I was sent in black clothing with a note... We do not celebrate this day as it is the celebration of a man who was evil itself.
Strange they don't teach about the real story in schools...

***** Regarding Bernie and me: despite that I find him a godsend, last chance for us all, I am aware that my nervous system has kept me on the sidelines, just sending on favorable posts, but not diving in with what little resources I have or time to support the campaign. I think I have just understood why. A combination of feeling that the odds were too low that he would win the nomination, and not being drawn into efforts to win an election, that that was not promising enough. Now that it appears extremely unlikely that he will win the nomination I suspect I will begin working substantially , including limited funds, toward the campaigning. Odd, right? The reason is that now I feel that any efforts are less about getting him elected, not that that wouldn't be wonderful, but more about building, and advancing, sowing the seeds for, doing the education for.. a movement. I don't think I can resist participating in, working in furtherance of, that. And yes, this is contrary to what I had earlier said, that I would not work to advance anyone, that had not taken an unequivocal stand against the genocide of Palestine. But as I wrote last week I have undergone a substantial shift in that I seem to be finally finally finally metabolising that the disintegration of society and Humanity has begun but that there are still current and future survivors to protect and help, even in Palestine, and surely Bernie is the way Superior option in that regard for Palestine than are any of the other candidates.
