I am a professional spray painter that worked for Cessna Aircraft in Wichita, Kansas from 1980-1986
was laid off and went to work for Boeing in April 1986 which is now Boeing again!!! in Wichita,Kansas. I am currently employed there and have 40 years of aircraft experience.
I seek no fame or fortune, I’m just the average guy that’s trying to make an honest living and provide for my family.
“Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"
I'm just an old country boy. I try to avoid town as much as possible. Directions to my house include "turn off the dirt road, and it's another half mile up the driveway".

I AM JARV. Founding fathers spoke of a painting with a sunset/sunrise.. Ben (I believe it was) asked, is it a rising sun or a setting one.. in 1776 it was rising. And what about NOW? The West is Ending.. Or is it REALLY?
The Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal US affiliate of the Socialist International. DSA members envision a better world for all and are leading progressive movements to fix the broken systems being imposed on us by the corrupted few.
We are building on the legacies of champions for democracy and socialism that came before, in America, around the world, and throughout history. They shared the wisdom that a better world is indeed possible and demonstrated the courage to fight for it, no matter the odds. Now, as we face new challenges that were scarcely imagined in past centuries, we must do our parts to carry the banner forward at this most critical time in human history. Far too much is at stake.
We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane international social order based on both democratic principles and market mechanisms to achieve an equitable economy, meaningful work, a healthy environment, sustainable growth, gender and racial equity, and peaceful prosperity.
We are socialists because we reject an international economic order of private profiteering, alienated labor, race and gender discrimination, environmental destruction, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo.
At the root of our socialism is a profound commitment to democracy, as means and end. As we are unlikely to see an immediate end to capitalism tomorrow, DSA fights for reforms today that will weaken the power of corporations and increase the power of working people.
The Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) is made up of students from colleges and high schools across the US.
Please join us in DSA, or your local Socialist International organization, to help build a better, healthier, and more just world for all, not just a few.
