It's Not that we can't FEED the POOR, we just can't SATISFY the RICH. It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a higher standard of living than any of us have. Selfishness is unnecessary. War is OBSOLETE. We just have to convert tech from WEAPONRY to LIVINGRY - Buckminster Fuller
"There is Class WAR alright, but it's we the RICH making it (dividing you idiots against each other) and Winning it" - Warren Buffett , Billionaire
FASCISM should rightly be called Corporatism as it is the merger between the corporation and the state" - Benito Mussolini
'That in essence is FASCISM: Ownership of GOV'T by an individual, by a group, or any controlling PRIVATE POWER (Billionaires OWN #Congress via legal bribery called #CampaignFinance) - Franklin D Roosevelt

"The pioneers get all the arrows"
My first calling was as a musician and songwriter...I was fortunate enough to have a good run...Some songs from a friend of mine you never heard but might like...

Friend of mine once told me this lyric should be stitched on a pillow:
"I believe that life is for living and love is the axis on which we turn
We bare our souls till all is forgiven
and clothe ourselves with the lessons learned"

A favorite quote from a favorite author:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
― Robert A. Heinlein
...and one I saw on a studio wall in Nashville:
“Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.”
― Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
OK...one more...
“A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Friday

Totalitarianism is a political system where the state strives to control all aspects of people's public and private life through mass surveillance, restriction of speech, state controlled media, and terrorism. This is what the corporate press and social media channels have become in America today.

I am an older gentleman now in retirement. I have paid my dues to the thieves in suits and hope that I can survive my remaining years while retaining whatever human(e)ity I have left. I don't take vaccines or meds and have not seen a Doctor in over 20 years and surprise, surprise, I am still very much alive and kicking.

I tend to be a Conspiracy Factualist
My name stems from many disasters overtaking me, and I keep finding something to continue Smiling about & get back on my feet. A description of my attitude as well as a reminder of Who I want to continue to be :) Short version is Fos.
I like to see "the other side" of any issue, I just wish there was less name-calling and screaming. No need to be foul-mouthed. So I get involved in reasonable, if spirited, discussions and scan past the rest :)
