Recycling made practical. A guide. HEXA is my brand of vaping and I like it (but once I get my real vaping stuff from the Island of Doom ...
Rene Girard is Peter Thiel's ego ideal... he leads the Silicon Valley (where I grew up) wing of the Trump coalition... but also has made his fortune pushing Palantir into the US Intelligence Community... which is why I spend a lot of time following him and the NatCons.
BeantwoordenVerwijderen...but then you recently completed a course in advanced stupidology, having paid a steep price for going against the popular consensus... (at least that's my guess). We need more people with your moral convictions... Antigone's to stand against Creon's immoral decree's.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for the kind words.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMy suffering wasn't too painful, compared to that of so many, less priviliged 'detainees'. Small acts of resistance and very deep friendships make all that crap very bearably, funny even sometimes...
But the crimes committed by 'the system' (the 'state of Law and Order') against its subjects are numerous and egregious. I, for one was 'detained' without charge, trial, conviction or sentence for 8 mo. Even after 7 I still had no idea what was going on. Even though I had agreed to be deported they seemed unable/unwilling to organise that.
I will at some point be seeking redress of course.
But right now I'm looking for my last life partner, as a matter of priority (have you got a sister of suitable age! ;-) by any chance )
Sorry, my sister's been married since 1970... and restores religious icons in Kodiak, AK...
VerwijderenHope you find your soul mate soon! :)

VerwijderenDamn, we'd get on like a house on fire! Sooo many missed opportunities! ;-)
Probably...What can I say... she's a '68 UC Santa Cruz drop out. ;)
Verwijderenfrom Wiki:
In his memoirs, Kerr ruefully recounted the myriad errors made by himself and McHenry in launching the new campus.[29] They had created Santa Cruz as the "most experimental" of the UC campuses, but opened it just in time for their cherished "Santa Cruz dream" to die amidst the counterculture of the 1960s.[29] Santa Cruz quickly became the "counterculture campus" where students and faculty either "mellowed out" among the redwood trees or turned into "activist-radical[s]".[30] For example, when Kerr came to deliver an address at UC Santa Cruz's first commencement exercises in 1969, the ceremony was hijacked by students who denounced Kerr and McHenry for having "planned and created Santa Cruz as a capitalist-imperialist-fascist plot to divert the students from their revolution against the evils of American society and, in particular, against the horrors of the Vietnam War."[31] The students then tried to award an honorary degree to Huey P. Newton (who was in jail at the time, although he went on to earn his bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees at Santa Cruz).[31] Kerr later recalled this episode of "guerrilla theatre" as "one of the worst afternoons of my life."[32]
