It would be interesting to know just how many "farmers" could run a farm if society crumbles. No gas or diesel to power any tractors, harvesters, etc. No petro based fertilizers. No insecticides. It's actually a kind of scary thought.

mcgeo52 comments on Jul 17, 2018:
Bottom line: Treason is aiding any enemy of our country. There is no formal declaration of war required. Imagine someone aiding terrorist involved in something like 9/11. No court would seriously entertain an argument that the terrorists were not enemies because there was no formal declaration of war. The fact that we were under attack by Russia, and 12 members of their military were involved in the attack, raises the actions from "collusion" (which isn't a crime) to treason (a very serious crime).

I live in Long Beach, CA. I wear shorts, a T-shirt, an unbuttoned Hawaiian print shirt and sandals 360+ days a year. My concession to winter here is a single layer nylon windbreaker. If I am riding my bicycle on a really "cold" night here I will zip up my windbreaker and put on my gloves. I laugh when I hear people here talk about cold. I went to high school in upstate NY, and I mean north of Syracuse, not Westchester County. We got over 120" of snow a year. Been there, done that, worn the extra T-shirt. Thank you.

One of my favorite no cook meals is a taco salad made with soy chorizo. I have used both the Trader Joe's and the Reynaldos soy chorizo for this without cooking it, no problem. In a large salad bowl dice 1 medium tomato, crumble in corn tortilla chips, add shredded (vegan) cheese, and el cheap garden salad mix. Toss and eat. If you want a "dressing" for this, Trader Joe's Latin Black Bean Soup is perfect.
Things You Must Try on an Elevator? How Many Would You Try? Would You Add Anything ToThe List?
mcgeo52 comments on Jul 15, 2018:
The office for the President of Cal State Dominguez Hills used to be on the fifth floor of the library. Since the third and fourth floors were library stacks the elevator only stopped at 1, 2, and 5. It rarely stopped at 2 since the parking lot was on one. One evening at 5:00 the elevator was packed with people going home from the fifth floor. One young Japanese American man dressed in khaki shirt and slacks, wearing round gold rim glasses, and with a bowl haircut, was standing in a back corner. When someone finally pushed the button for one the elevator, and the elevator started to drop quickly, the young man said, "Banzai!"

Dating Site Don'ts
mcgeo52 comments on Jul 13, 2018:
Don'ts: Posting a main picture that does not match the posted age by at least 20 years. An older picture might be ok if it is there for a reason, and not represented as being current. Sending a message that just says, "Hi there," especially when their profile shows they have nothing in common with you. Personally, I don't date smokers, and prefer nondrinkers. I am open as far as diet as long as they accept the fact that I am vegetarian. I also tend to immediately move to the next profile if the lady indicates that she is religious. It would not be a good match for either of us. Dos: Sending a respectful message that references something in their profile to show actual interest in something you may have in common. Humor, in your profile, your picture(s), and/or your messages is a good idea as long as it is in good taste, not forced, and not overdone.
One of my favorite things today.

Who is your favorite guitarist?
mcgeo52 comments on Jul 9, 2018:
I've had the pleasure of hearing a number of great guitar players in person. It would be difficult to think of one more influential than Merle Travis (with the possible exception of Chet Atkins). Doc Watson definitely earned his status a legendary bluegrass picker. Leo Kottke, Laurence Juber, Pepino d'Agustino, and Pierre Bensusan are/were amazing. There are plenty of others that I am forgetting. As far as the most amazing technical playing I have ever seen, that would be Musashi Suzuki (look him up). But my personal favorite is probably Richard Thompson.

I found a brilliant post, it says EXACTLY what I think.
mcgeo52 comments on Jul 9, 2018:
This is a great statement. Unfortunately it has a few typos. Here is a cleaner copy: "I am unconcerned that we have different politics. I do not think less of you because you voted one way and I voted another. We need people to vote and the candidate we select is not always going to win. It is hoped that we will have someone who is competent enough to run our country. That didn’t happen in the last election. We got a thin-skinned egomaniac who has never been held accountable for any atrocities he has committed. Let me be clear. I think less of you because you watched an adult mock a disabled man in front of a crowd and you still supported him. I think less of you because you saw a man spouting clear racism and you cheered for him. I think less of you because of your willingness to support someone who openly admires dictators and demonizes the press and anyone who criticizes him. I think less of you because you heard him advocate for war crimes and you still thought he should run this country. I think less of you because you watched him equate a woman’s worth to her appearance and you thought that was okay. I think less of you because you’ve seen his appointees systematically destroy legal protections and loot the tax payers and you are ok with that. You watched, along with the rest of the nation, as he separated families and locked innocent children in dog cages and you were not horrified as the rest of us were. You refuse to accept the fact that this man wants to work with dictators but has alienated our long standing allies. I think less of you because you refuse to review the facts and accept that this man is lying to you on a daily basis. It isn’t your politics I find repulsive. It is your willingness to support racism, sexism, misogyny, and cruelty that I find repulsive. You supported a tyrant and bully when it mattered and that is something I will never forgive or forget. Your lack of morals and basic humanity are devastating to me. There are some things I can never be civil about: concentration camps, genocide, white supremacy, misogyny, harm to children, mass trauma, state violence, rising fascism, to name a few. There is NO civil discussion with someone who agrees with putting children in dog cages. So, no...you and I will never be “coming together” to move forward or whatever. Trump literally disgusts me and I hate the sound of his voice spewing hate and diving the country but, the fact that he doesn’t disgust you is something that is going to stick with me long after this presidency. You have shown me who you really are and the fact that you still support this monster and rush to justify everything he does makes me feel that we have nothing to discuss.”

I didn't understand the whole "Make America great again" thing.
mcgeo52 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
I agree that in many ways America hasn't been the best country to live in for a long time. However, it has been the leader in world trade and economics. Trump is blowing that by bailing on the G7 (now G6+1), and talking about withdrawing from the WTO. The US has also been the most powerful nation in the world, not one that kowtows to Putin and the Russians, kisses up to the two bit tin pot dictator of North Korea, or is so insecure that it meeds a major military parade in Washington D.C. Three guesses who is blowing that. The first two don't count.

mcgeo52 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
The "moral majority" (which was neither) sided with the Republicans because the Democrats would not let them have tax exemptions for their private (white, racist) schools. Racism has been a driving force behind the Republican-Evangelical alliance since day one. Understanding that explains a lot about why Trump is their man.

mcgeo52 comments on Jun 29, 2018:
I've been hosting an open mic for just over threes years, including running the sound. We get some pretty amazing talent showing up at open mics in Long Beach. One evening a friend who records and tours for Sony in South America stopped by and did two songs. I mentioned that to someone who had been in the audience and she asked which performer it was. I said, "You tell me." She replied that it could have been any one of half a dozen people. I'm giving you that background so you will know where I am coming from. In my experience, singers who are unsure of themselves tend to use vocal reverb as a crutch. I know I used to. I don't encourage that for live performances, and tend to run my mixes at the open mic dry. Once a singer really learns how to sing without reverb, it might be ok to add it back in, but only in a very measured amount. I would very much like to hear this with no vocal reverb. You have the voice to pull it off, and without the reverb to rely on, I believe you would give an even more soulful rendition. Great job. Keep up the good work. P.S. If you are ever in the Long Beach area on a Wednesday night you are more than welcome at my open mic.
When someone in the office sneezes, I automatically say "God Bless You" and then feel uncomfortable.
mcgeo52 comments on Jun 29, 2018:
"God bless you" originated during the time of the plague. Sneezing was a sign of a weak immune system and meant there was a probability the person would be dead soon. "God bless you" was a way of wishing them well in the afterlife; it was almost a curse.

What is The root cause of Conspiracy Thinking?
mcgeo52 comments on Jun 27, 2018:
I would say that there are two causes: The first is when the official version does not match the facts. A Perfect example is The Warren Commission Report on the Assassination of JFK. The CIA actually used the term "conspiracy theorists" to ridicule anyone who questioned the official version of what happened. Of course, the US Congress has since denounced the Warren Commission's Report and the lone gunman theory. The second is when the subject feels powerless and finds it easier to just blame "them," whoever they are. A good example is the deep state theory being flung around by the right wing. If you take the time to listen to what they are saying, you will discover more internal inconsistencies than in any four books of the Christian Bible. Sometimes it takes a generation or more to determine if something comes under the first or second cause. Again, the Warren Report is an excellent example. I believe that time will prove the 9/11 Commission Report to be one of the great conspiracy theories in the history of our country. There are just too many facts and too much evidence that does not match the official version.
The Supreme Court rulings that have come down the last few days have been so frustrating to me.
mcgeo52 comments on Jun 26, 2018:
If there is proof of actual ballot count tampering (and I have reason to believe there is), the next President needs to declare that Trump's election was a fraud. Anything resulting from a fraud is null and void. That would include all of his Cabinet appointees, and any and all of their actions. It would also include all of his judicial appointments up to and including Gorsuch.
So.. Ummmm... If you don’t mind my asking, what are your names?

Confession of an Anti-GMO Activist - WSJ
mcgeo52 comments on Jun 26, 2018:
Please get your facts straight. There is a distinct difference between hybrids and GMOs. Hybrids occur naturally, although humans may speed the process with selective breeding. GMOs only occur when genetic material from one species is artificially inserted into the genes of a completely different species. This can even go so far as to insert genetic material from an animal into the genes of a plant, or vice versa. That has not been going on for hundreds of years, much less thousands. Using hybrids to justify GMOs is like using fireworks to justify atomic bombs. Facts, people. They matter.
Has Evangelical Christianity Become Sociopathic? | HuffPost
mcgeo52 comments on Jun 26, 2018:
I did see one sign of hope recently. The Southern Baptist Convention has actually started to distance itself from the Republican Party. They are also starting to discuss the possibility of women in leadership roles. This may not seem like much, but it signals a sea change in American politics, and hopefully a less sociopathic approach by the Southern Baptists.

Stuck in a sheep jam in a village in Italy today. Is this still a thing where you live?
mcgeo52 comments on Jun 26, 2018:
No, but we had an interesting jam here today. Since it made national news you may have heard that two firemen were shot while fighting a fire here in Long Beach this morning (25 June). I woke up to sirens, sirens, and more sirens, for about 15 minutes, followed by helicopters overhead for well over an hour. When I looked out my balcony door I could see that firetrucks were lined up the whole block on my side of the street, and police cars (once the firetrucks moved I found out they were Sheriff's cars) were lined up on the other side of the street. They were all facing the hospital across the street. Apparently they were standing vigil for the injured fireman, as they all left shortly after he was released. I can only imagine the impact on traffic that Captain Dave Rosa's funeral will have, with first responders from all over the state attending. Please do not take this as a complaint. IMHO firefighters are true heroes and deserve every bit of respect that we can show them. I'd gladly sit through a sheep jam rather than lose a good man like Captain Rosa.
