They both replied that, "Emanuel is not the president; Obama is," I thereupon replied that Obama himself believes in compulsory civilian service too.* I knew that it would not be long before legislation mandating compulsory service would be introduced. Both of the people I warned told me that I was paranoid. In fact, one went so far as to say, "I agree with [the other recipient of your message]. The paranoia is a bit much." I replied, while biting my tongue, "Paranoia has absolutely nothing to do with it. ... People who do their research in a relatively scholarly manner and who have also studied the trends of the past century or two in great detail are not paranoid. They are educated. I am not theorizing based on personal bias. ..."<div>
<div>And so on and so forth. In short, my warnings (for what little they were worth) fell on deaf ears. Now, on March 20, 2009 (a mere 132 days later), I hereby present for their perusal (if they ever check this site anymore), the following (the wording of which comes straight from the bill itself, which is available, <a href="http://www.rules.house.gov/111/LegText/111_hr1388_txt.pdf">complete online</a>, at the House of Representatives' very own web site):</div><div>
<b>House Passes Mandatory National Service Bill</b>
</div><div>"Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act" (aka the "GIVE" Act), was passed by the House of Representatives on March 18, 2009, by a 321-105 margin. It next goes to the Senate, where the senators there will almost certainly violate their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution too.</div><div>Lest anyone think that I am reading too much into that title, here is the relevant excerpt from the bill:
<blockquote>Section 6104. Duties. Subsection B6: In carrying out its general purpose under subsection (a), the Commission shall address and analyze the following specific topics: ... "Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"><i>mandatory service requirement</i></span> for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">strengthen the social fabric of the Nation</span></i> and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.</blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>"Part III, Section 120 b 3 B: YOUTH ENGAGEMENT ZONE PROGRAM. <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">Service-learning is a mandatory part of the curriculum</span></i> in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency."</blockquote><div><b>The following is for anyone who might still deny that Obama would support this:</b>
*Quote: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded." ••• Candidate Barack Obama, Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 2008.
*Obama's change.gov website originally stated that Americans would be "required" to complete "50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year." After large numbers of people read it and protested, Obama's staff changed the wording from "required" to "encouraged." Obviously, with the passage of the "GIVE" Act, the wording has been changed from "encouraged" back to "required" again (as realists fully expected). For more on this, read the following article in the <i>Saint Louis Examiner</i> of November 07, 2008: <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-536-Civil-Liberties-Examiner%7Ey2008m11d7-Obamas-compulsory-service-proposal-becomes-explicit">Obama's Compulsory Service Proposal Becomes Explicit</a>.</div><div>P.S. Why is the federal government using the word "volunteerism" to describe "compulsory service"? I'd laugh at their stupidity if I didn't live in the country whose freedoms are being destroyed by those worthless losers (it's times like these that I really wish I had a foul mouth).</div></div></div>MJWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02076754748980035075noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044058.post-29176559195342589652009-03-18T20:23:00.001-06:002020-12-06T21:59:07.653-07:00Gullible Obama Fans Rejoice<span style="font-weight:bold;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">The blatantly open (almost tragicomic) conspiracy continues:</span></div></span><blockquote><span style="font-weight:bold;">Citigroup's top economist tapped for Treasury post</span>

Yes, you read that right.

Never. No way on earth. For them, pride endureth before, during and after a fall, same as it is with evangelical republicans.

The populist anger is rising. The Obama administration is protesting, but claims that its hands are tied. You might think the left would bolt, and some surely have.
</div><div>But there are always second thoughts on the left. We are starting to actually hear defenses of A.I.G.'s practices. ...
</div><div>Reliably, then, the bulk of the left will support the policies of Obama, no matter how much they violate the supposed principles of leftist theory. ...
</div><div>FDR was indeed the predecessor of Obama, as his White House eventually became one big open conspiracy of big banks, big corporations, and big unions working together to fleece the American taxpayer. They ate from the corpse of a once-productive economic structure as it grew ever thinner, making sure that they got theirs while everyone else suffered. ...
</div><div>Some people will bail from the left in light of the evidence that Obama is serving the cause of regimentation and the power elite. ... But for the most part, I think we can safely predict that the Obama experience will do one other thing that the FDR experience did: totally corrupt its partisans.
</div></blockquote><div>Very true. Furthermore, most of the American people have been far too successfully brainwashed by the false left-right paradigm ever to recognize (much less feel a need or desire to stop) our descent into a fascist (i.e. corporate), totalitarian state.</div><div>Here is an excellent post script from Karen de Coster (one of my favorite columnists/bloggers):

These people are so taken with themselves, so drunk with power, and so brazen, they don't even care about the response of rage all across America because they actually believe that they can't be stopped now. The Federal Reserve has got their back, after all, and the president - Bush, Obama, doesn't matter - has given his nod of approval.

By my even asking such a silly question, I could correctly be accused of living in a fairy-tale fantasy myself. Even if their favorite political heroes personally stole their houses from them and smacked them alongside their heads with a 2x4, most Americans would still cling to their fairy-tale fantasies — while also continuing to laugh at, malign, demonize and/or ridicule the one or two politicians who actually want to save this country and the Constitution upon which it was founded.

<span style="font-weight: bold;">...To whose agenda is President Obama being hitched?</span> Writing in the English language version of the Swiss newspaper, Zeit-Fragen, Stephen J. Sniegoski reports that <span style="font-weight: bold;">leading figures of the neocon conspiracy--Richard Perle, Max Boot, David Brooks, and Mona Charen--are ecstatic over Obama’s appointments. They don’t see any difference between Obama and Bush/Cheney.</span>
Not only are Obama’s appointments moving him into an expanded war in Afghanistan, but the powerful Israel Lobby is pushing Obama toward a war with Iran.
The unreality in which he US government operates is beyond belief. A bankrupt government that cannot pay its bills without printing money is rushing headlong into wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. According to the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Analysis, the cost to the US taxpayers of sending a single soldier to fight in Afghanistan or Iraq is $775,000 per year!
Obama’s war in Afghanistan is the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. After seven years of conflict, there is still no defined mission or endgame scenario for US forces in Afghanistan. When asked about the mission, a US military official told NBC News, “Frankly, we don’t have one.” NBC reports: “they’re working on it.”
Speaking to House Democrats on February 5, President Obama admitted that the US government does not know what its mission is in Afghanistan and that to avoid “mission creep without clear parameters,” the US “needs a clear mission.”
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How would you like to be sent to a war, the point of which no one knows, including the commander-in-chief who sent you to kill or be killed?

Washington is rife with rumors that the Obama administration plans to dump the US-installed president of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, and replace him by one of four CIA-groomed candidates. The problem is, three new stooges won’t be any better than one old stooge.
London is warning Washington both against a precipitous change of regime in Kabul that would be widely viewed as crass political manipulation. ...
Obama’s dismaying eagerness to expand the war demonstrates political inexperience and a faulty grasp of events in Afghanistan. ... The Afghan War will have to be ended by a political settlement that includes the Taliban-led nationalist alliance that represents over half of Afghanistan’s population, the Pashtun people. There is simply no purely military solution to this grinding conflict – as even the Secretary General of NATO admits.
But instead of diplomacy, the new administration elected to stick its head ever deeper into the Afghan hornet’s nest. The bill for an intensified war will likely reach $4 billion monthly by midyear at a time when the United States is bankrupt and running on borrowed money from China and Japan. ...
Why is President Obama, who came to power on an antiwar platform, committed to expanding a war where there are no vital US interests? Oil is certainly one reason. The proposed <a href="http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/47489/from_afghanistan_to_iraq%253A_connecting_the_dots_with_oil/?page=entire">route for pipelines taking oil and gas from Central Asia to the Arabian Sea coast run right through Taliban-Pashtun territory</a>. ...
The US and its allies cannot be seen to be defeated by a bunch of Afghan tribesmen. Coming after the epic defeat in Vietnam and the trillion-dollar fiasco in Iraq, defeat in Afghanistan is simply unthinkable to the military-industrial-petroleum-financial complex that still seems to be calling many of the shots in Washington.

Reporting from Washington -- The CIA's secret prisons are being shuttered. Harsh interrogation techniques are off-limits. And Guantanamo Bay will eventually go back to being a wind-swept naval base on the southeastern corner of Cuba.
But even while dismantling these programs, President Obama left intact an equally controversial counter-terrorism tool.
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">Under executive orders issued by Obama recently, the CIA still has authority to carry out what are known as renditions, secret abductions and transfers of prisoners to countries that cooperate with the United States</span>.

For those of us who stand outside the pathetic sham that is American two-party politics and study it objectively, the future under the faux intellectual, Barack Obama, and his cabinet of warmongers is ENTIRELY predictable (almost as if we are reading directly from "the establishment's" game plan — which, basically, we are). But trying to point this out to Americans who unquestioningly believe in that sham is like trying to talk sense to members of a cult who are excessively arrogant and self-righteous due to their cult's long history and almost universal acceptance.
The first time you try to convince members of this cult to, <span style="font-style: italic;">at the very least</span>, investigate objectively all cult leaders — including their favorite ones — in order to discover that they are all frauds, the "cultists" look at you with smiles (or frowns) of supreme condescension, as if you are either a harmless, but deluded, blasphemer or a potential nuisance. If you continue to try to convince them, they will become annoyed and ignore you. If you persist beyond that, they will become openly hostile and shut you out completely. No amount of rational debate or proof is going to convince them to doubt their favorite leaders or their own deeply ingrained, highly partisan perceptions of reality. To them, the phrase, "open-minded, scholarly investigation," is just a trick to get them to read the "loony, biased opinions of deluded fringe groups."
"Luckily," the newest cult leader (Obama) has already started to break his promises to his devoted cultists (even if they refuse to see it), as we tried to tell them he would. Severe disillusionment among his followers is predicted for the not-too-distant future. This I welcome, as disillusionment often leads to a recognition, once and for all, that American two-party politics is, indeed, a sham — a sinister sham.
Update: According to the January 26, 2009, edition of the <span style="font-style: italic;">London Daily Mail</span>, <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1127427/After-week-office-Barack-Obamas-approval-rating-plunges-shocking-15-points.html">Fifteen percent</a> of Americans appear to have become disillusioned with Obama already. Contrary to what most Obama supporters may think, I think these people have given him more than a fair chance. He just blew it in record time. However, I realize that he has promises to keep to the sleazy establishment that put him in the presidency. Making promises to them is like making promises to the Mafia. You break them at your own risk. That is the sham that is two-party politics.
P.S. Of course, it is always possible (actually, highly probable) that millions of liberals will either deny, ignore and/or justify Obama's broken promises throughout his entire presidency, just as millions of fanatical conservatives continued to deny, ignore and/or justify Bush's actions throughout his entire presidency. As always, in such cases, the permanent beneficiary is our massive, increasingly Orwellian federal government, that continues to function like clockwork, regardless of party.<div>

<a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/024970.html">Posted by Lew Rockwell at 07:28 AM</a>
Obama seemed like a decent guy, but as president, he has no hesitation in <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article5575883.ece">killing</a> a group of people in Pakistan, including three little children. But what is murder in the private "sector is just public policy for the state, and Obama is head of state, so he wields his terrible, swift Predator on people he doesn't know, and of whom he knows nothing. During the campaign, he famously said that if missiles were endangering his daughters, he would "do anything" to stop them. Think anyone else feels the same way? (Via Antiwar.com)

</span>I say: Obama "finally" has some innocent blood on his hands; and he even broke international law to accomplish it too. What an enlightened soul.
Of course, like most war criminals Obama can always say, "I was only following orders."
However, if he really believes that then he didn't need to run for president in the first place, because he knew what he was getting himself into. If he didn't know from the beginning, then it should have become abundantly clear by the time he was the sole remaining democratic presidential nominee.MJWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02076754748980035075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044058.post-24999539700110328952008-06-09T13:08:00.001-06:002020-12-06T22:18:25.234-07:00I Knew It By HeartI'm almost too restless to write this entry.<br /><br />Last week, I read an article in the local newspaper about an historical display that begins at noon today in my town and concludes two days from now. I have never seen one of these items in person in my life, but I have seen many, many, many of them on TV and in books since I was a kid. I have fantasized most of my life about seeing one in person. I remembered this event again yesterday and was thinking about going, but I had once again forgotten all about it this morning.<br /><br />About twenty minutes ago (which was right at noon), I was sitting at my computer here in my basement. I had the world completely tuned out because I was concentrating on the task at hand. Suddenly, I heard an airplane approaching the house. This is not too terribly uncommon since our small airport (which caters only to small planes) is only about five or six miles east-northeast of my house, and Denver is southwest of my house; but the sound of that plane snapped me out of my trance so quickly you wouldn't believe it.<br /><br />I said out loud to myself, "Oh my God! That's it!"<br /><br />I knew the sound of that plane by heart even though I had never heard one in person in my life. I jumped out of my desk chair and ran to the window.<br /><br />And there it was! Flying low right in front of my house!<br /><br />A fully restored World War II B-17 bomber!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.azcaf.org/">This very plane</a>!<br /><br />It is named "Sentimental Journey" and is one of the very few fully restored B-17s in the world that still actually flies. Even though this isn't an uncommon route for airplanes to take to the local airport, it certainly isn't the only route. I couldn't believe it actually flew right past my house on the way to the local airport.<br /><br />I only caught a glimpse of it through the window. I could have seen it really well if I had only stood still and watched, but I didn't. I wanted to film it!<br /><br />I knew I would be too late in getting outside, but I still quickly grabbed my new Canon ZR-700 digital camcorder, unzipped its bag while running to the front door (trying to remain calm enough not to fumble the unzipping process), and ran outside. By the time I started filming and had barely reacquainted myself with the On, Record and Zoom buttons, the plane was already too far away to capture its features very well (and the video quality of my new camcorder stinks, which is very depressing). Here are two images of the plane just before it disappeared behind the apartment building next door and one image just after it reappeared behind the building. I'm sure the history lovers among you will still be able to recognize that very familiar outline.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ZegO3_gRWMC1BmgIQZB3knH665bP_c3TiuQ9n9jxfdS9VRJqmiKiKx0wTXRs_xODT0m0KwYTWK8q2KpDeUYtPRsRlqHVoVdty7FhqMGagqjq8gpnRNeHmWbXaPJaCinZQ0Ge/s1600-h/B-17+a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ZegO3_gRWMC1BmgIQZB3knH665bP_c3TiuQ9n9jxfdS9VRJqmiKiKx0wTXRs_xODT0m0KwYTWK8q2KpDeUYtPRsRlqHVoVdty7FhqMGagqjq8gpnRNeHmWbXaPJaCinZQ0Ge/s400/B-17+a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209961918930849618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDUHrrdcks6n-4G8Q4iQEKT9fuPkZ8vCFQdMfZ6VsO5N0Tis0gVARysYKb4Zxdz4gyQBNeYA_blzJaeTQbB2dR30cNuOfuE0DZEhND5P72pGj_t5zLUxRUOLHOQU_vzbSQ7FBu/s1600-h/B-17+b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDUHrrdcks6n-4G8Q4iQEKT9fuPkZ8vCFQdMfZ6VsO5N0Tis0gVARysYKb4Zxdz4gyQBNeYA_blzJaeTQbB2dR30cNuOfuE0DZEhND5P72pGj_t5zLUxRUOLHOQU_vzbSQ7FBu/s400/B-17+b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209962222417733250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiUTjE3zwrIdmKP0n-7kXo2ih1Vu2RCUGo3Ol5YXBfHNwdnp1wcRPgiXrRH4C7NG9-DfKuihAo_0KG0qEUuZr8X8vdFHzsCr7COhAqN6sghI-jUsYET2sHbJFF1RaVeJoTdLQr/s1600-h/B-17+c.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiUTjE3zwrIdmKP0n-7kXo2ih1Vu2RCUGo3Ol5YXBfHNwdnp1wcRPgiXrRH4C7NG9-DfKuihAo_0KG0qEUuZr8X8vdFHzsCr7COhAqN6sghI-jUsYET2sHbJFF1RaVeJoTdLQr/s400/B-17+c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209962354552748018" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">[P.S.

Kennedy, 40 Years Ago Today<div><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Canadian journalist and author Barrie Zwicker was once asked this question: "Do you take offense at the term 'conspiracy theorist'?" Zwicker replied, "I welcome being called a conspiracy theorist, as this exposes the intellectual bankruptcy of the person applying it and provides me with an opportunity to point out that intellectual bankruptcy."</span></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Part One: The Men Who Killed Robert F. Kennedy</span>
In memory of Robert F. Kennedy, who was killed 40 years ago today, I present a fifteen-minute BBC report from November 2006 (scroll down). Once you've watched it, most of you will agree that the evidence presented is very difficult to refute.</div><div><br /></div><div>Fifteen minutes is a very short period of time. You could be finished watching this report before you have even finished your first glass of wine or beer. So please consider taking some time out of your regular routine in order to enlighten yourself as to what is almost certainly the truth. We owe it to ourselves and to his memory to learn what really happened that day.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Part Two: The Men Who Killed John F. Kennedy</span>
Each video segment in this section is just over nine minutes in length (for the sake of avoiding a slow browsing experience I am only creating links to these YouTube videos instead of embedding them).</div><div><br /></div><div>There are three episodes in this truly excellent series, but I have only included Episodes 1 and 3. Episodes 1 and 2 were aired on the History Channel a few years ago, but a very influential family (you'll guess who when you watch it) forced the History Channel at the last second not to air Episode 3 (coincidentally, the History Channel has become little more than a pathetic joke in the days since they aired this series). Luckily, some civic-minded person put all three episodes on YouTube in November 2006, and I watched them at that time.</div><div><br /></div><div>I first heard about the theory that is expressed in (the censored) Episode 3 in about 1990 when a native Texan and her South Dakota husband, who had been in the Air Force in Texas, told me about it. They said that large numbers of Texans believe it. They completely believe it too and were determined to convince me. I was polite and open-minded (they were my close friends, after all), but I didn't believe a word of what they said. Episode 3 set me straight. It starts out a little too abruptly with its theory, which may put the viewer on the defensive, as it did me, but it soon gathers lots of steam and leaves little, if any, room for doubt. Episode 1 does a great job of setting the stage for Episode 3.</div><div><br /></div><div>If a skeptic watches these videos and still has any doubts afterward, then I don't know what to say to that person. The same holds true of the very convincing segments on Robert F. Kennedy.

I Like an Angry Song! ;-)<div style="font-family: georgia; text-align: center;">
<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
I just found this <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">independently produced</span> music video via a link at another web site and must admit that it is quite catchy. Furthermore, not only is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/aimeeallen">Aimee Allen</a> very attractive (in spite of those tattoos), but she has a great grasp on the situation (so say I). You will also notice that her anger has a positive message behind it (with such an appealing smile, how could she not be promoting a positive message?). I am feeling very tempted to be infatuated with her, regardless of (sob!) my being "too old." But I won't. I'm not that much of a weakling (ha?).<br />
<br />
Note: In spite of the immediate goal of this video, which you will learn at the 23-second mark (forgive me ;-), the overall theme, which begins at the 37-second mark, is quite well done. I hope you won't stop watching it. It's not that long, and it isn't (unlike yours truly) a broken record (no pun intended).<br />
<br />

P.S. I also really like the softer songs that play automatically at her MySpace link above (especially the second one, which is entitled <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Aimee+Allen/_/I%27m+Here">I'm Here</a>). She's got a beautiful voice and a nice old-fashioned style.</div>

If I wasn't one of the only ones to be so long winded, maybe I wouldn't be so self-conscious (or maybe I'm actually "normally winded," and everyone else in this "sound-bite" world is too "short winded" ;-).<div><br /></div><div>[Update 5/22/08: It was only <span style="font-style: italic;">after</span> writing this comment that I discovered I had misread what Kathleen wrote. That meant I had done all this writing for nothing. She then replied to my comment this morning in a way that allows me to post my comment anyway (the first three comments at the link below explain it all).]</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kathleen's Question:</span></div><div>
<a href="http://katm6.blogspot.com/2008/05/not-really-entry-worthy.html">In her latest post</a>, Kathleen asks: "Who invented bridal/baby shower games? Can they be shot? Strung up by their toenails? Waterboarded? Honestly."</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">My Know-It-All Response</span></div><div>I'm sure bridal/baby showers are a carryover from past decades/centuries when young couples were too poor to buy stuff on their own -- and had no credit-cards to entice them to buy stuff <span style="font-style: italic;">anyway</span> --, and shopping was a rare luxury, not a nationwide addiction. But probably even more importantly, in those days there were no TVs (with god-awful, lowest-common-denominator shows like <span style="font-style: italic;">American Idol</span>), no radios, no internet, no tune-out-the-world iPods, no cell phones, no beepers, no Blackberries, no "IM-ing," no fast cars to take us to impersonal bars and malls, no fast-paced, high-pressure careers (which have, regrettably -- for far too many people -- become an end in and of themselves instead of a means to an end) to help us "pass" all our time as painlessly as possible in solitary seclusion (except with regard to careers). In the old days the only real entertainment or contact people had with the outside world in a leisurely manner -- aside from reading daily or weekly newspapers, or a rare book or two, or a very rare letter or two per month from friends and family -- was to gather together and visit. Since transportation was extremely slow and opportunities relatively rare (especially in the sparsely populated west), they usually made the most of those visits by making them last for hours. Besides that, since life was so much more slowly paced in those days, and since there were few, if any, other entertainment alternatives, they were seldom in any hurry to leave.</div><div><br /></div><div>Well sadly, times have changed, and many people are not only more isolated than ever, they seem to have grown to prefer it (I've become very guilty of it myself, although I hate it at the same time), but the custom of bridal/baby showers appears to have endured for some reason, maybe because lots of women will always love babies and weddings -- or at least the idea of babies and weddings; and they just assume that all other women feel the same way too, so they inconsiderately expect them to participate.</div>MJWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02076754748980035075noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044058.post-4596415934331140142008-05-19T17:21:00.008-06:002020-12-06T23:37:25.107-07:00Sandy Denny - Mesmerizing (IMHO)At one time in my life, this would have been a very typical post for me. If only I could return (full time) to those days once again.<div><br /></div><div>I had never heard anything by Sandy Denny before a few minutes ago. In fact, I don't think I have ever heard her name before now (although I cannot say for sure). Here, in a session that was recorded in 1971, she sings a song entitled, <a href="https://youtu.be/PQiWL0HfIJs" target="_blank">Late November</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>She is neither pretentious nor full of herself, as so many "folk singers" seem to be these days. Her representation of the folk-music genre isn't over the top either, as so many neo-folk-music songs seem to be in the 21st century. For Ms. Denny it is TRULY all about the song and the feeling, not herself or some angry agenda. Her minimalist performance is beautiful, mesmerizing and enchanting, at least to a nostalgic, sentimental pushover like me who loves these trips back in time.</div><div><br /></div><div>

<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>[Update 5/20/08: I learned today that I actually have seen Sandy Denny's name in print before and heard her beautiful voice in one particular song (I just had not <span style="font-style: italic;">heard</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> of her</span> before). Hers is the amazing female voice in the Led Zeppelin song, <a href="https://youtu.be/-21AtiWV3TE">The Battle of Evermore</a> (based on a battle in the Lord of the Rings trilogy). I have always been very impressed by her voice in that song, but I didn't think I would ever learn who she is. I dug out my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stairway_to_Heaven">Stairway to Heaven</a> album today and played the song again for the first time in years. Her name is printed on the album's inside sleeve, but it doesn't say what she does on the album, so I had no idea she is the female singer in The Battle of Evermore. In fact, I had no idea if Sandy, in this particular case, is a man's or a woman's name. Whether you like Led Zeppelin or not, it's worth listening to the song at the link just to hear her voice. I actually like The Battle of Evermore. It has an almost hypnotic rhythm.]<div style="text-align: center;"></div></div>MJWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02076754748980035075noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044058.post-56305444938190368452008-05-05T14:23:00.001-06:002020-12-06T22:54:55.445-07:00I Knew This, But Did You?From The <a href="http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2008/05/army_militarydonors_050408w/">Air Force Times</a>:

by Joe Schembrie
Is Big Government necessary for Big Energy? The zealots of Big Energy claim that if we wish to keep the lights from going out, we must accept mammoth public utilities, mandatory conservation measures, and even imperialist military conflicts. We are told that to receive more electrical power, we must surrender more personal freedom.
Contrary to the politicians, however, the reality is that we are in the midst of a Solar Revolution, in which the free market is answering our energy needs through technological improvements in photovoltaic solar panels. With investments made on a local and household basis, solar panels offer a personalized form of energy that is independent of Big Government.
Yet the ideologues of Big Energy won't give up, and are fighting against the Solar Revolution by resorting to demagogic propaganda. One of their most common lies, for example, is that sunlight is "too dilute" – implying that even if we covered the entire Earth with solar panels we would still not capture enough sunlight to power our civilization. But let's run the numbers, shall we? -- [<a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/schembrie7.html">Click here</a> to read the remaining ten paragraphs.]</blockquote>Bonus link: I also present to you this amazing and inspiring documentary from the late 1990s: <a href="https://youtu.be/PfEbCBcddQw">Free Energy: The Race to Zero Point</a>. The production quality may make it seem a little dated, but don't let that fool you. The many examples of almost science-fiction-like free energy (but which already exist!) are what count, not the production values.
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Footnote:</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">*Abundant alternative energies would also mean the end of unjust, criminal wars -- at least <a href="http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/63632/">as far as oil goes</a>, that is. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">I'm sure the military contractors who control our government would find other excuses to demonize, then invade and, finally, rob tiny countries that pose no threat to our security as an independent nation (as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y06NSBBRtY&fmt=18">President Eisenhower tried to warn us</a> in 1961 -- 2.5 minutes long).</span>

The endless procession of them was quite "impressive," so I decided it was a subject worthy of a blog post.

On February 27, 2008, I began doing genealogical research for Mrs. Y. She and her husband own the investment/tax agency in which I worked until April 14. I was supposed to do this research at work and only whenever I had some free time. However, as usually happens in life, I was suddenly inundated with work at nearly the same moment that she handed me her "starter" info. It soon became clear that I was going to remain inundated for the foreseeable future, so I decided to do her genealogy at home. I did this because I wanted to have something to hand to her in the end. Besides, I was eager to get started.<div><br /></div><div>Most other people either play solitaire, do crossword puzzles, put jigsaw puzzles together, play computer games, remodel bathrooms, knit handkerchiefs or drink dry martinis while watching old episodes of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH1UdnZfYh8">Gilligan's Island</a> to keep themselves distracted ;-). I find that genealogy easily beats all of those pursuits, hands down (except drinking dry martinis, which, of course, you can do while searching the internet for your 5th cousin, three times removed ;-). Plus, you actually produce something valuable and rewarding for all of your trouble (not that knitting a handkerchief or remodeling bathroom isn't rewarding, but I added those two pursuits after I wrote that sentence ;-).</div><div><br /></div><div>I told Mrs. Y that all I needed in order to get started are the names of her parents and grandparents, and maybe her great-grandparents, as well as their birth dates and birth places. I always set this limit because, like a professional psychic, I like to start with as little information as possible. That way, it's more of a challenge for me and more impressive to the recipient when she or he sees what I've discovered.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">To Make a Long Story Short (yes, how unlike me)...</span></div><div>In slightly over two weeks, and using only sources on the internet, I was able to add 505 names to Mrs. Y's family tree (counting the few names she had given to me to get me started). Mrs. Y had never known anything about her father's side of the family, so that is where I concentrated most of my work. Unlike the vast majority of people, she is lucky enough to be descended from and related to some prominent people on her father's side, including several state-level politicians (in three different states, no less), many wealthy businessmen, several rich land owners, lots of lawyers and judges, several Civil War veterans (on both sides of the conflict) and even a wealthy <a href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Bennett&GSfn=Louis&GSbyrel=in&GSdyrel=in&GSst=52&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=13588858&">World War I flying ace</a> whose plane was shot down over France just before the war ended. Last, but not least, she is descended from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Clark">a signer</a> of the Declaration of Independence. The various ancestors on her father's side came from Maine, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Virginia/West Virginia and Kansas before settling in western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming. It is very rare for a genealogical researcher to be able to research a family tree like that, so I had a lot of fun.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Unexpected Benefits</span></div><div>Mrs. Y was clearly thrilled (no fakery on her part), especially regarding the fact that her great-great-great-great-great grandfather had signed the Declaration of Independence (she even told everyone about my research during our April 15, end-of-tax-season party). She quickly offered to pay me for my time. I told her that my doing it at home had not been part of the deal, so she was, therefore, under no obligation to pay me. She didn't accept that answer, but I still didn't name an amount. So she told me to suggest a proper amount to our mutual friend, Mrs. L (it was Mrs. L who had convinced me to work there in the first place). I repeated this to Mrs. L the next day (and mentioned how many hours I had worked on it), but I didn't give her an amount either because I'm just not good at that sort of thing. Mrs. L, who also works for Mrs. Y, said she would think about an amount that was suitable. A couple of weeks later she told me that Mrs. Y sometimes buys things for people instead of paying them cash. That sounded intriguing, but I didn't have any idea what to have her buy for me. Mrs. L then reminded me that I had once expressed an interest in buying a miniDV camcorder.</div><div><br /></div><div>That caught my attention. For the past two or three years I have been wanting a camcorder that also has the ability to convert VHS (analog) videos into digital (DV) format on the computer. No miniDV tapes required. This process is known as "passthrough." Then I could edit them in iMovie and export them to DVDs (while also keeping the original iMovie DV file as a master copy). Of course, I couldn't refuse a potential offer like that. She had found my weak spot.</div><div><br /></div><div>I immediately started looking for a camera (preferably a Canon) that has the analog-to-DV passthrough feature built in. There used to be quite a few models that had that feature, but now it is extremely rare. I could find only one model still available, a Canon ZR 700<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-ZR700-MiniDV-Camcorder-Optical/dp/B000DZH4C4/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1208841391&sr=1-1"></a>, and it was in just a handful of online stores, with the cheapest price being $325. Even though that price was lower than the $400 plus price tags at the other places, I still considered it to be far more than I had earned for doing some genealogical research. However, I really wanted that camcorder, so I told Mrs. L that I would gladly do other work to make up the difference if Mrs. Y would buy it for me, because I hate ordering stuff on the internet in general, much less from an unknown company. Amazon.com, which I definitely know and trust, did not have that model in stock anymore (at least not a new model).</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, it turns out that Mrs. L was wrong. Mrs. Y was not interested in paying me by buying something for me. Instead, she agreed to pay me $200 in cash. That's still more than I felt comfortable taking, but she seemed intent on paying me, and I had definitely put in a lot of hours of work on her family tree, so I didn't argue (I still haven't received it, though, and I won't be heartbroken if I don't). As for the camcorder, after having gotten my hopes up, I soon decided that I wasn't brave enough or "frivolous" enough to pay that much money to an unknown company. I decided I was just out of luck as far as owning a miniDV camcorder goes.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Punch Line</span></div><div>Yesterday morning I had resigned myself to the fact that I would be borrowing an out-of-town friend's camcorder (actually, his classroom's camcorder) for a couple of months starting in June. Would I be able to get all of my home movies imported into iMovie in that time period? It could become monotonous fairly quickly if it is done on a tight schedule. Then yesterday afternoon I got on Amazon.com one more time, and -- low and behold! -- they had just "restocked" new models of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-ZR700-MiniDV-Camcorder-Optical/dp/B000DZH4C4/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1208841391&sr=1-1">Canon ZR700</a>! Even more amazingly, it is on sale for a measly $179.99! That's $146 cheaper than the price at the other online store and roughly $240 cheaper than its original price. I was very relieved that Mrs. Y hadn't wasted her money by buying it from that other store. I immediately added the camcorder to my shopping cart (I had bought a scanner from Amazon last August, so I didn't have to spend time registering).</div><div><br /></div><div>When a frugal person such as myself buys something that quickly, you not only know that it is a great deal, but that it is something I really, really want!</div><div><br /></div><div>I also decided that I had probably better make the best of this very rare online retail adventure by buying a few more items (we non-materialists just aren't interested in owning lots of stuff, so "retail adventures" are very rare for us; although I do frequently fantasize about owning a new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MA356LL-Dual-Core-Processors-SuperDrive/dp/B000AO5OMA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=pc&qid=1208841290&sr=1-2">Mac Pro Tower</a> with four 1TB internal hard drives and a 30-inch monitor! also, a moped that gets 70 to 100 mpg). So, in addition to the camcorder, I also bought the following items:</div><div><br /></div><div>1.) Two five-packs of miniDV tapes for $12.95 each (about $50 cheaper than I could buy them locally, or so my research indicates).</div><div><br /></div><div>2.) One additional battery for the camcorder for $54.99 (highly rated by other users).</div><div><br /></div><div>3.) Three additional rechargeable batteries for my Nikon CookPix 4300 digital camera for $14.86 each (I may have bought one too many, but I don't care).</div><div><br /></div><div>4.) One new book (released just this week) for $12.60 called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Manifesto-Ron-Paul/dp/0446537519/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208841807&sr=8-1">The Revolution: A Manifesto</a>, which is receiving rave reviews. It's the first time I've bought a new hardcover book in many, many years (and the very first time that it wasn't on the remaindered shelf with a $3.00 price tag on it ;-). It is the first book of this genre that I have EVER purchased.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Happy Conclusion</span></div><div>I've been waiting for nine years (since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMovie">iMovie</a> was first released by Apple in 1999) to be able to import my roughly thirty home videos onto the computer, so that I can not only edit them to my heart's content, but so that I can also advance frame by frame in order to capture still images to add to my photo collection. Now I only have to wait a few more days for the camcorder to arrive. I just hope the quality of the imported video is what I expect it to be. If it isn't, well, then I will at least have a new wide-angle digital-video camcorder with which to capture the incredible number of exciting events that take place in my life every day ;-p.</div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Post Script</span></div><div>I started this entry with the statement, "...Sort of." By that I mean that I would have bought this camcorder in a heartbeat for $179.99 even if I hadn't done the genealogical research for Mrs. Y. However, the problem is that I wasn't even thinking of camcorders until Mrs. L brought it up. And, of course, she only brought it up because I had done that genealogical research for Mrs. Y. Therefore, if I had not done that research, I probably would not have seen this last "passthrough" camcorder before it was sold out and discontinued.</div><div><br /></div><div>"Yay" for me for once!</div>MJWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02076754748980035075noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044058.post-20344141698733429382008-04-20T14:19:00.001-06:002020-12-06T23:28:18.396-07:00Very, Very, Very Brief...<div>Scary:</div><div><br /></div><div>

I wrote the rough draft of this story in late 2003, which was a bad time for me to try to put anything in writing, even grocery lists. In addition to that, once I write something poorly, it is very difficult for me to change my perspective in order to rewrite it. Why? Because the poorly written version gets stuck in my head again every time I reread it in order to rewrite it. Of course, it also doesn't help that I've forgotten a lot of the finer details of the story after 30 years (I never ever thought I would forget anything when I was younger). Luckily, I still have the rough drafts of two or three letters I wrote at that time to help me out with some parts of this story (one of the few benefits of growing up as a packrat).</div><div><br /><strong>The Story</strong><br />When <a href="http://vividsurreality.blogspot.com/2008/04/thirty-years-ago-today-breaking-free.html">last we met</a>, I had just purchased a 1974 Mustang II. The date was April 7, 1978. The location was western Nebraska. The purchase was the result of an event that had taken place a couple of weeks earlier. This is the story of that event.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Brief Summary of 1976-1978</span><br />As <a href="http://vividsurreality.blogspot.com/2006/07/thirty-years-ago-today.html">previously mentioned</a>, my family moved from "Earling County," South Dakota, to "Snobbytown," Nebraska, in July 1976, when I was 15. By the time the main part of this story takes place, I had spent two long, miserable years among the unfriendly, cold-hearted kids of this town <span style="font-size: 85%;">(<span style="color: red;">1</span>)</span>.</div><div><br />I used to be a very stubborn person when it came to trying to make friends; therefore, it took me a long time to learn my lesson and stop trying to make friends with these kids (so no one can say that I did not try). More importantly -- as far as this story goes -- the more I tried and failed to make friends, the more unforgiving I became toward my parents for having put me in this situation without giving me any say in the matter (thankfully, a lot of parents are not like that anymore). Even worse, they refused to care that I was being treated like an outcast here. Whenever I mentioned it to them, they usually told me I was probably doing something to make them not like me (I'm sure we all remember how frustrating it was as kids when our parents didn't believe us; but aside from this one particular quirk, my parents were very decent to me). [Note: Years after I graduated from high school my dad finally admitted to me that he had hated it here as much as I had and that he had actually believed me when I told him what the kids were like here (because the adults weren't any better). I did my best (which was not very good) to restrain myself as I asked him, "Then why didn't we move!!!!???" He replied, "Because at that time I was too proud to admit that I had made a mistake and that you had been right." As frustrating as his answer was, it was also a relief to hear it because it proved that I had been right all along (I had given him two warnings that proved to be accurate even before we moved here). For the record, my dad was a master at getting along with almost everyone in those days, so if he had failed here, then I knew I had never stood a chance.]</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Taking Matters into My Own Hands: The Story Begins</span><br />In the fall of 1977, when I was a junior <em>in</em> high school, I brazenly started making plans to go back to Earling County for a visit during spring break in March 1978. By that time, I had concluded that a short visit would be better than never going back at all. My plan, such as it was, involved a long-term psychological strategy that was designed to convince my parents to let me make the 630-mile roundtrip by myself since they refused to take me. Yes, it was quite a radical fantasy for a teenager, but I felt that I had nothing to lose by trying.</div><div><br /></div><div>My strategy worked this way: I would simply begin acting as if I was going, no matter what, just as an adult would act. I figured if I did that on a very consistent basis over the course of the next few months, then they couldn't help but be subconsciously affected by my positive attitude, whereupon they would simply let me go. My approach to using this tactic was simple: Whenever there was a practical reason to bring up the subject, I would say in the most matter-of-fact nonchalant, subtle, mature tone of voice that I could muster, "<em>WHEN</em> I go back to South Dakota during spring break..."</div><br /><div>I never said, "IF I go...," or "IF you let me go..." I always said, "<em>WHEN</em> I go..." <span style="font-size: 85%;">(<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">2</span>)</span>.</div><div><br />I had chosen spring break because Earling County High School didn't have spring breaks, which meant I would be able to go to school every day for the entire week as a guest and see all of my old friends (and the many, many beautiful girls) in one place.<br /><br /></div><div>Did I really think it would work? Let's just say that I wasn't going to hold my breath; but in those days I still believed in miracles, so I went ahead with my plan full force and was determined never to give up, no matter how hopeless it might seem.</div><div><br /></div><div>By January 1978, I was so deeply into it (mentioning my "for-sure trip" to my parents every chance I got) that I had actually convinced myself that I was going. In fact, on January 19, I wrote to an old best friend (who, coincidentally, had moved away from Earling County a few weeks after I did in 1976): <span><span><span>"I am going to positively, absolutely go to [Earling] County on spring break (for one week)..."</span></span></span> I wrote the same prediction to one or two other people over the course of the next month or so. My parents had given me no indication that they were even thinking about letting me go, but that was just a minor detail. I still had plenty of time to get them to say yes.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Additional Strategy: Practice Runs</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">On January 8, 1978, a week and a half before I wrote the above letter, I had talked my dad into letting me take his pickup, a 1971 Ford four-wheel drive (with no power steering, no power bakes, no cruise control) on a "short" excursion.</span></span></div><div><br /></div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189278629179421874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ZhYY0fH7O08Eyr5In2iKQN7gGRqc2xWBY8-LiI6Sxnl8BDzBUdStevvCWfSXbGuO3cvnFan466ptNHZXjL8pKxFprcxXM4jYvhi00Jq9cwDPRVmFjP-8b8T-PlZf3VdujyQh/s400/760610FWD.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /><span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">1971 Ford four-wheel-drive pickup; Pretty, isn't it? ;-)</span></div></span><span><span></span></span><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span><span>Actually, my asking him to let me borrow his pickup for a short tri</span></span>p was not a terribly huge deal. He had let me borrow it several times when we lived in South Dakota (for trips of five or ten miles each). At that time I was only 14 and 15 years old. In fact, I had learned how to drive in this same pickup when I was 10 or 11 (and, no, I did not enjoy it, although it definitely paid off in the long run). On this newest occasion, I told my dad I was going in search of long-abandoned farms in <a href="http://pix.epodunk.com/locatorMaps/ne/NE_22440.gif">Sioux County, NE</a>, which was the truth (old-house exploration is the reason I had borrowed the pickup in South Dakota, too). But I had an additional plan that I did not mention to him. [Note: Below is a picture of me on January 6, 1978, two days before I went on my Sioux County excursion. I actually have a picture of me driving the pickup during that trip, but my chipmunk cheeks look pathetic in it, so this one will have to do (I will only leave it here for a short time, for obvious reasons).]<br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187663229296179554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVmn33Rg0EkhyHvjF1yuZF_hCCVN9p6Gorx5ZJgFVxcdO-jtsXA8EofH5zHgfSZJ-E2MzVVpjZZNgiBXA0WVGTxZRQCWAKTh8JOYmSZf_bUBkZ8VpiJQmaJPy5-r9KybfZuwY5/s400/780106MW.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">MW at work in the produce department of a</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">local grocery store.

Like my dad, he had no idea that I had an additional plan. After we had explored a couple of long-abandoned houses about 30 miles from Snobbytown (and a building that may have been an old post office), I told him that it would be "fun" to drive all the way to the South Dakota border (a distance of roughly 100 miles from Snobbytown) before returning home. He wasn't overly thrilled with the idea, but he didn't protest loudly enough to make me change my mind (probably why he never did anything with me again either ;-).<br /><br />The sun was starting to set by the time we were about twenty miles from the border. At about the same time, we drove into a thick fog that was like driving into a wall. In the fog and darkness I took a wrong turn on one of the back roads (I guess my map wasn't very useful in foggy darkness ;-), and I ended up having to turn back when I was about three miles from the border (by my best guess). After we drove out of the fog again, it snowed on us all the way home; however, there was not much wind, and it was far too cold for it to stick to the highway, so I actually enjoyed the drive on that dark, nearly deserted two-lane highway. Not long after I arrived home, I bravely told my dad how far I had gone, because I wanted him to know -- <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">for future reference</span> -- that I knew how to "take care of myself" on the road. He took it well (at least I don't remember getting in trouble).</span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">In fact, he was obviously so okay with it that he let me go on a similar trip two weeks later: On February 4, 1978, I convinced him to let me drive the pickup to Hot Springs, SD (<span><span><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Hot+Springs,+SD&ie=UTF8&t=p&ll=43.020714,-102.019043&spn=2.634526,4.993286&z=8&iwloc=addr">map</a></span></span>), which happens to be roughly 30 or 40 miles beyond <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Ardmore,+SD&ie=UTF8&ll=42.98054,-103.351135&spn=1.318136,2.422485&z=9">where I had driven</a> (roughly speaking) the first time. Once in Hot Springs, a friend of mine from school (a real rarity in Snobbytown) and I were supposed to spend the night with his grandparents before returning home the next day. The trip went very well, and we had fun being as free as adults; however his grandparents weren't home when we got there, so we ended up spending the night in the pickup in a motel parking lot, and we definitely froze our rear ends off!! (You'd think...)</span></span></p><p>[<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Musical Note: Shortly after we arrived back in town from the long trip and were driving through a residential area, </span><a href="https://youtu.be/iJ90ZqH0PWI"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">this song</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">, one of my favorites at the time (I still love it), played on the radio. For some reason I have never forgotten this bit of trivia</span>. It was in the Top 40 at the time.]</p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">By early March, my psychological tactic and my now proven ability to drive long distances seemed to be having an effect on my dad. He was still no where near letting me drive to "Earling County" for an entire week, but he did seem somewhat less resistant and less argumentative whenever I brought it up (or maybe he was just ignoring me ;-). Whatever his mindset really was, I continued my efforts with as much (or maybe even more) intensity than ever before.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Small (but Necessary?) Kink in My Plans</span><br />For some reason (maybe I was afraid to go alone? or maybe I felt empathy? or both?), I asked another kid, "Joe," if he wanted to go with me, even though we weren't friends. Joe had moved to Snobbytown from "Van Camp," SD (not its real name), the previous summer. He disliked it here as much as I did (and for the very same reasons), so I thought he might enjoy getting a chance to go home too. I told him that if he could get someone to come to Earling County from Van Camp to pick him up (a distance of 50 miles), then he could go with me. He eagerly agreed. Unbelievably, his parents agreed to let him go with me before mine had even agreed to let me go -- <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">if</span> they agreed to let me go. You can be sure that I used their permission for their son as ammunition in my own efforts to get my dad to let me go.</span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Bet 'cha Can't Guess...</span><br />I very briefly describe<span><span>d the sequence of events in a letter to my old best friend (and maybe exaggerated a little, as only a kid would exaggerate, regarding the arguments): "In January, I asked 'Joe' if he would like to go along... He jumped [at the chance] in a second. So I made plans, worked out a schedule and got into a heck of a lot of arguments with my family on how I was to get there... Finally, on the very last day before spring break, I persuaded my dad to let me have the pickup!"</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><br /><br />In spite of the blatantly leading title of this entry, did you honestly think my dad would really let me go? Needless to say, I was thrilled beyond words.<br /><br />One of the last things my mom said to me before I received permission to go (or after?) was, "You can never go home again. Those kids probably won't care about you anymore."<br /><br />I didn't believe her because I had the letters to prove otherwise.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Hot Springs Lesson: Not Learned</span><br />Being a kid, I still managed to skip one minor detail during my months-long planning. It was the part part where I bothered to inform my friends in Earling County that I might be coming to stay with them. I think part of the reason I made this error in judgment was because I was afraid no one would offer to let me stay with them, even though one of my best friends, "Kevin Patterson," had already invited me several times in his letters. The other part (actually it was the biggest part) had to do with the silly notion that I wanted to surprise them by showing up on their doorsteps after driving the whole way by myself. Or maybe I didn't want to get my friends' hopes up, just in case my parents refused to let me go.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">The Day of Departure</span><br />Finally, the day of departure arrived. One month afterward, I wrote the following to my old best frie<span><span>nd: "At 6:00 a.m., Saturday, March 18, we left!! I couldn't believe I was going! All the way there, 'Joe' and I talked like best friends. [The only difficulty] was that his first track meet of the season was to take place on Friday during spring break [back in Snobbytown]. So I said I would call him on Wednesday [to plan our return to Nebraska]. He [said he] could have cared less about the meet... It was the coach that made him nervous... At 11:30 AM, I dropped him off [at "Herron," the designated location in eastern Earling County. His friend was already there waiting to drive him to Van Camp.]"</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"></span><br /><br />Did I mention that I was "a bit" annoyed with Joe's last-second announcement regarding a track meet? Well, I definitely was. Joe had neglected to tell me about the meet at any time prior to our departure. I was angry that I now had to return to the miserable Snobbytown two days sooner than I had planned. I had waited two years for this trip and had been planning it for several months. I wasn't thrilled to have an unexpected, last-minute announcement shorten it. Joe should have changed his plans to accommodate me, not the other way around, especially at this late date.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">First Official Stop</span><br />After dropping 'Joe' off with his friend, I drove back to "Earling," the town in which I had lived from 1970 to 1976 (ages 9 to 15). I shouldn't have stopped there at all because "Kevin Patterson," the friend with whom I hoped to stay, lived 35 miles northwest of "Earling."<br /><br />My letter continues: "[In Earling, I] saw Tom working in [his parents' grocery] store. He was nicer and friendlier than ever before. I talked with him and Ken and some others until 4:00 PM. Tom asked me to go to the recreation hall (formerly the movie theater) with him that night to visit (so did Ken). [But I didn't have time for that.] I then left for 'Kevin Patterson's' farm because in his letters he was always [inviting me] to stay with him."</span></span></span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">The "Fun" Begins</span><br />I </span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">dr</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"></span><span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">ove 23 miles west on pavement, then I turned onto a gravel road to drive the remaining 12 miles. Due to the spring thaw, the gravel roads were very muddy, and it was very slow going. After the long drive up that very muddy road, not to mention the really long drive from Nebraska, I was very disheartened to find no one home at the Patterson farm. I later wrote to my old best friend: "I went to their place, but no one was home. I parked right at the edge of their driveway because it looked like a recently drained ocean up there. But I got stuck [anyway], and it took me twenty minutes to get out using two boards."</span></span></span><span><span><span><span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><br />In order to get unstuck, I had put the pickup in four-wheel drive and then placed the boards under one or two wheels to get some traction. After several attempts, I made it back onto the gravel road.<br /><br />Leaving it in four-wheel drive, I then drove a half mile north of the Patterson farm and turned east onto a roller-coaster road that consisted more of dirt than of gravel. I chose this muddy route -- </span><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">very hesitantly</span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"> -- because it was the shortest route to the farm of "Calvin and Charlie Nelson," twin brothers who had also been best friends of mine. By taking this road, I only had to drive five miles. If I had taken the only marginally safer route, I would have had to drive 30 miles. I took the two boards with me in case I got stuck again. A month after my visit, I wrote of my decision to take this road: "Then I was a nut and took the shortcut road between Patterson's and Nelson's."<br /><br />I made it roughly one mile before I got stuck again, this time at the bottom of a small valley where the mud was much worse than it was on the slopes and peaks. I had already successfully raced through one or two or three similar muddy bottoms, but this one was the worst of the bunch, and I got stuck about half way through it. The more I spun the wheels to try to get out (and in spite of using the boards again), the pickup continued to slide ever closer to the steep ditch on the driver's side. For some reason the wheels on only one side of the pickup were working. After ten minutes of struggle, and with the driver's-side wheels now only inches away from going into the ditch, suddenly all four wheels kicked into gear. The pickup lurched free of its very precarious spot. You cannot imagine how relieved I was. It would have been terrible to have been stuck in a deep ditch thirteen miles from the nearest town and five and a half hours from my home with night approaching and neither the Pattersons nor the Nelsons knowing I was in their midst. Another farm was located near the spot where I had gotten stuck, but I didn't know the people who lived there, and I certainly didn't want to have to bother them.<br /><br />I carefully nursed the pickup the remaining four miles (thankfully, all of which was flat) to the Nelson farm and happily knocked on their door. To my utter dismay, no one was home there either!<br /><br />I was becoming quickly disillusioned, not to mention very nervous. Evening was rapidly approaching, and there was no one else I knew who would invite me to stay with them for a week. And I had </span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">no choice</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"> but to stay in Earling County because Joe, who was now comfortably situated in his hometown, would not have been able to return to Nebraska without me (at least not without a lot of difficulty). With just a bit of panic starting to set in, I waited for my friends to come home. I wasn't about to drive back to the Patterson farm on that terrible road, and I didn't want to drive the long way around for fear that the Nelsons would return as soon as I left and the Pattersons still wouldn't be home. After an hour of waiting, I gave up and drove the sixteen miles to "Annin" (where "Earling County High School" is located). I didn't know what I was going to do. I felt completely lost. How could I have been so stupid as to not tell anyone I was coming?<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Arrival in "Annin"</span><br />In my letter a month later, I described what happened (without telling my friend how terribly worried I was): "When I got to Nelson's, no one was home, so I waited for an hour. No one came, and I was starved, so I decided to go to Annin to eat. When I got there, it was 6:00 PM, so I thought I would take a look at the school before it got dark [</span><a href="http://www.almanac.com/rise/"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3333ff;">sunset was at 6:50 PM, Central Time</span></span></a><span>]. As I was coming down the [side] road [from the school] toward "Pete's" Bar [which was located on Main Street], I saw two kids running across the street into [Pete's]. One was a little slower, and I knew that it was Calvin Nelson by his gorilla walk [I was exaggerating a little, of course]. I acted like I was going to hit him with the pickup. When I got within ten feet, he finally recognized me, and all he could say was, 'MW!'"<br /><br />Think about this for a moment: There were approximately 800 people living in Annin in 1978, yet I had managed to stumble into Calvin and Charlie Nelson completely by accident only one minute after I had arrived. If I had not decided -- completeely on a pointless whim -- to go out of my way to look at the school before going to the restaurant, I would not have found them. I could not believe my good fortune. My relief was immense. I quickly parked and joined Calvin. Charlie had already disappeared into the bar without seeing me. Calvin and I joined him.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Securing Lodging</span><br />I learned that Pete's was a hangout for the younger adult crowd (18 being the legal drinking age in South Dakota in those days) and minors. Underage kids were allowed to hang out in the south half of Pete's, drinking pop, eating snacks and playing pool or pinball. The City Bar, on the other hand, was generally considered the hangout for older people (it was -- is -- located one door south of Pete's, just across the side street). Calvin and Charlie and their mom, "Dora," had gone into the City Bar just as I was arriving in town (not a scandalous thing in tiny western towns where there are only one or two places for people to get together to visit). The boys had not wanted to hang out with the older crowd so they were on their way to Pete's when I ran into them. If I had driven down that road five seconds earlier or later, I would have missed them.<br /><br />While we were in Pete's, Calvin and Charlie asked me what I was doing in Annin. I explained that I had come to visit for the week because it was Snobbytown's spring break. They asked me where I was staying. I explained in so many formal-sounding words that I hadn't completely made that determination yet, hoping they would take the bait. They did. They immediately "dragged" me to the City Bar, where they presented me to their mother and then proceeded to "charm" her into allowing me to stay with them. It wasn’t necessary. Dora would have said yes, no matter what, and meant it with all her heart (she had known me since I was 9). She is, and has always been, one of the most generous ladies in the United States.<br /><br />I hadn’t felt such intense relief in a long, long time. I had come very close to living as a transient in the freezing March weather that night -- and maybe even for the next week (at least those were the fears that had been going through my 17-year-old mind). I did not know who else to ask to take me in for a whole week. There really wasn't anyone else that I would have wanted to stay with, or who would have invited me to stay with them (maybe Tom or Ken in Earling for a night or two, but not for an entire week; besides, I had definitely not come here to stay with them).<br /><br />An hour or three later, I followed the Nelsons back to their farm. We spent the rest of the weekend on their farm having as much fun as possible. I later wrote to my old best friend: <span>"On Sunday we had to clip cow's ears (90 head). All Calvin and I did was push a few cows into the chute [every so often] and then sit and talk for a while."<br /><br />I loved every minute of being on that farm, where life was so much more fulfilling and relaxing and contented. You name it.</span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Going to School</span><br />On Monday, I rode to school with Calvin and Charlie. I asked the principal (who was new to me) if it was OK for me to attend classes as a guest that week. He said that was fine. In April 1978, I wrote: "Then came Monday morning, and I was as nervous as a cow. We drove into town that morning, and the first person I saw as I walked into the school was 'Lorraine' [a former classmate] who acted surprised and happy to see me (she is now married to 'K.R.M.' - they're parents) [FYI: Parenthood in high school in Earling County was extremely rare]. Then I went into the hall and saw Kristi, who was sitting on the floor. I tapped her with my foot, so she would look up, and when she did she stared a second until she recognized me, and she said, 'Well, hello! Where've you been!?' Then I saw 'Sareena' and died 10,000 deaths on the spot! She is so beautiful. I went to classes with Calvin for the first five periods; then I went to the gym to watch the girls practice track for the last two periods. Everybody, and I mean </span><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">everybody</span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">, was so friendly that I never wanted to leave again. That was about all I did [for the rest of the week]."<br /><br />At one point that first morning, "Sarah," a younger sister of Sareena, and upon whom I had had an unrequited crush in junior high, hurried up to me in the hallway. She had heard I was back and wanted to see for herself if it was true. After I greeted her, the first thing she said (with a hint of awe) was, "Gosh, your voice is so much deeper!" I felt honored that she had come to see me. I did, however, quickly learn that she was, after two long years, still dating our fellow classmate, "T.E." They never got married to one another, though.<br /><br />Initially, Kevin Patterson didn't seem very happy to see me, possibly because I had not stayed with him. I pretended not to notice his cold-shoulder treatement and visited with him as much as possible during some free time in one class. I explained that I had stopped at his house first and that I had even gotten stuck in his driveway and then again about a mile northeast of his house. He eventually warmed up and became as friendly as ever.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">What My Trip Home Was Really All About</span><br />In fact, I spent a day or more at Kevin's farm. I was very happy to discover that he still had the best sense of humor in the United States.<br /><br />AND! -- <em>and this is what the trip was really all about!</em> -- Laughter is the best medicine. And I needed huge doses of it after living in totally humorless Snobbytown for two years (NOT an exaggeration). During the time I was around Kevin I laughed as I hadn’t laughed in ages. I laughed with great gusto and sincerity and humor until I couldn’t keep my face straight for any length of time without squeezing the sides of my mouth together with my hand. Even as I laughed continuously and uncontrollably, I was aware of just how much I needed to laugh. I felt myself "healing" (so to speak) by leaps and bounds every time Kevin uttered a syllable.<br /><br />One of the most memorable moments of the entire vacation came while Kevin was driving me back to the Nelson farm on that muddy back road. Of course, as is true of reading a movie script, the following brief converation will not be funny in print, especially as written by me 30 years after the fact, but, as delivered by Kevin at the time, it was hilarious. That notorious road between the Patterson farm and the Nelson farm contains several 90-degree curves.<br /><br />As Kevin approached the first curve at about 40 mph, with no indication that he was planning to slow down, I panicked and said, "The sign says ‘15 mph'!"<br /><br />Kevin replied, "Aw hell. If the government had its way, they'd have us get out and push our cars around these corners."<br /><br />I began laughing uncontrollably, and I couldn't quit. I think I laughed for another mile or two (at 40 mph). Eventually, I knew I had probably laughed too much according to Kevin’s standards, but I couldn't stop; so I turned my head toward the passenger window and continued to laugh silently for the remainder of the drive. With each exhalation, I laughed hysterically yet silently. As I inhaled, I could feel the next laugh not wanting to wait its turn. With each laughing breath, I felt my well being increase exponentially. Oh, how I had missed all the creative kids of Earling County!<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">A Rare Bit of Unrepentant Selfishness on My P</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">art</span><br />In fact, I had missed those kids so much, and I was having such a wonderful time "recuperating" among them that I got really selfish and did what many would consider a terrible thing. I didn't call Joe in Van Camp on Wednesday, as I had promised. Instead, I called him on Friday, the very day of his Snobbytown track meet. I had made him miss it, and I didn't feel bad about it at all, which was a first for me. Until that week, I would never have considered doing such a selfish thing. However, he had made it abundantly clear during our drive to Earling County that he didn't care about the meet. It was that statement that gave me the courage to be selfish.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Returning to Snobbytown</span><br />I wrote to my old friend: "They didn't have school Friday (dang bust it!!). I was having so much fun that I never did call Joe in Van Camp until Friday, so he missed his meet. We left at 6:00 AM [Saturday, March 25] from "Herron" [where I picked up Joe] (which means I got up at 5:00 AM). He didn't sleep that night, and since he was mad at me, he slept all the way back. The last thing he said to me as he got out of the pickup at his house was, 'I hate Snobbytown! There's nothing nice here!' Everything I had done for him since last fall no longer mattered. He was mad because I made him miss a track meet that he didn't care about. I even told his coach that it was my fault, but he still isn't friendly anymore."<br /><br />That coach was definitely mad at me (so mad that it necessary for me to transfer out of his history class to another history class for the remainder of the year!), but I didn't care about him in the least! Nor did I care whether or not Joe liked me anymore because we hadn't really been friends prior to the trip. I just knew that he had loved the "extra two days" in South Dakota as much as I had, so he shouldn't have been mad at me. If it hadn't been for me, he wouldn't have had those two extra days to remember for the rest of his life.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Conclusion</span><br />Having been completely free for one week had a major effect on me. I could never again be the dependent kid I had always been before. I wanted to continue to have control of my own life (as much as possible). On March 31, 1978, one week after returning from Earling County, I went car hunting (on my tiny motorcycle) and saw a 1974 Mustang II at a local car dealership -- the very sort of car I had long dreamt of owning. I went home and got my dad to go back with me in his pickup. The two of us then visited with the salesman. I was allowed to test drive it for a week, and I bought it on April 7, 1978, for $1,450.00.<br /><br />On May 31, 1978, my parents let me drive my new car to the northern Black Hills of South Dakota to visit my old best friend (the one to whom I had written the letter I used throughout this entry). I was only able to stay for two days because I had to return to work, but it was still great to be free to go whenever I chose to do so (relatively speaking).<br /><br />I shall tell you all about "Breaking Free, Step 3" this summer.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">[Musical Note: I shall always associate two top 40 songs from the week of March 18-25, 1978, with my amazing visit to Earling County. </span><a href="http://skreemr.com/link.jsp?id=60534054545B63"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">This one</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> played on the radio just as I was struggling to wake up at 5 AM to return to Nebraska (among other times). </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnJOsfalSYs"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">This one</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"> played one night as we were driving around the countryside talking about girls.

I want to make it very clear that not all kids in western Nebraska are like the ones in Snobbytown. In fact, this town even has a reputation in the region for its snobbishness. I've heard this from several people, including one just two days ago who grew up here and then lived in other places as an adult. Here is another example: In about 2001, a new teacher was hired to teach in the school where I used to work. That school is in a town about an hour from Snobbytown (also in western Nebraska). The new teacher had lived in Snobbytown since about 1991, so his two daughters, both in their early teens, had spent their entire school lives here. They had never known anything different. The first day of school that year was only a half day long. After the final class let out for the day, I was standing in the hallway with two or three teachers, including the new teacher (whom I had actually had known when he lived in Snobbytown; in fact, it was he who had convinced me to take the job at that school back in 1998). His 8th-grade daughter saw us as she got out of class and raced quickly up to us with two or three other girls in tow (her new friends). She had a huge smile on her face. Her father asked her, "So, how do you like it here?" She replied, almost shouting with glee, "I like it waaaayyy better than Snobbytown!!!"<br /><br />I forgot I was an adult at that moment and let out a huge whoop of agreement! Further vindication! ;-D<br /><br />P.S. Just in case you're about to ask, no, I have no [expletive] idea what I am still doing in Snobbytown. Life doesn't always work out as we would wish.<br /><br />2.) Regarding my psychological strategy to get my parents to let me drive to Earling County: For some inexplicable reason, I had come to embrace the idea that you could manipulate other people's thoughts with trickery when I was 8 or 9 years old. One day in about 1969, I found a brochure on the </span><a href="http://www.cosmosmysteryarea.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Cosmos</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">, a famous tourist attraction in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I was instantly fascinated. The brochure had pictures and also explained that the laws of physics do not apply there (the brochure also used words that I could understand). In the Cosmos, balls appear to roll uphill; tall people appear to be shorter than short people, etc. I desperately wanted to experience these phenomena for myself, but I knew my parents would probably say no. So, while they were not at home one day, I packed both of their suitcases for them, hoping that would make it seem "easier" for us just to get in the car and go. When they got home, I showed them their suitcases and tried my psychology on them. They were very amused and maybe even a little impressed, but they didn't take me.<br /><br />After that failure, it didn't occur to me to use that sort of psychology on them again until late 1977, shortly after I saw a fascinating portrayal of that trickery in a certain landmark movie. That trickery takes place in this </span><a href="https://youtu.be/kE03lYoVpFg"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">short exchange</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">. ;-) Now don't laugh, because it worked for me!</span></span></span></span></span></p></div></div>MJWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02076754748980035075noreply@blogger.com11
