About Me

About Me - What you see is what you get. Essential values - Kindness and Accountability, Responsibility, Integrity and Intelligent Discourse, Exploring by Thought, Learning by Listening, and Helping those who seek to know...and grow. Honored and privileged to do what I do which makes the 14-16 hour days a little easier. Trying to encourage people to consider new material and viewpoints to expand vision and build wisdom. Standing firm on honest journalism amidst a sea of talk radio messianic blowhards, mind control freaks, undercover intel agents, duplicitous agenda-pushers, internet egomaniacs, cyber cretins, opportunists, plagiarists, frauds and takers. Following the facts wherever they lead. Among the most lamentable aspects of this deconstructing nation are rampant personal non-accountability (our 'victim' society), and the mass social pandemic of lying, directly or by omission (stealth lying). Being deceived, in fact, is now a virtual expectation and hardly-noticed component of our times. It insidiously desensitizes as it permeates the wreckage of this People Magazine/tabloid/paparazzi celebrity 'culture' of sports, decadence, drugs, sex, celebrity, and massive self-indulgence at every turn...fueled and abetted by the most ruthless, seductive, powerful weapon ever unleashed on human kind - television. 'Contextual morality' now rules. Decent principles, values, true character and gentle, kind behavior are all too often mocked and derided...especially among younger people, as programmed by the mass media. Avoid fads, give while expecting nothing in return, strive to excel at what it is you love, and endeavor to leave whatever or whomever you encounter in life a little bit better if at all possible.

My Interests

In awe of Nature (what's left of it) and watching the seasons. Great music (many kinds)...the 'voice' of the universe? Simple things and pleasures...planting trees and gardens, building ponds and waterfalls, mowing green fields, watching and listening to the leaves in the trees, enjoying nature's canvas in all aspects. Home - almost a forgotten treasure for too many. Classic films, classic cars,Harleys, steam locomotives. Organic vegan...that should tell the story. Until humans stop killing and eating animal flesh, this species isn't going anywhere. Staying well-informed and practicing truthful, provocative and worthy journalism.
I'd Like To Meet - Tesla (to ask him many, many things), DaVinci (the same), Nostradamus (to convince him to stop talking in riddles and tell it straight), Sibelius (to get him to sober up and continue composing as in his Second and Fifth symphonies), Mahler (to get him to admit he stole Hans Rott's genius and ran with it...and to stay within the paradigm of his first five symphonies), Wagner (to just shake the man's hand in wonderment), Mario (to get him to realize he had a moral and spiritual responsibility to take better care of himself, drop the ego and make The Student Prince, and continue teaching the world to sing for another 30 years), Cream (in 1968...to tell them much the same) Some people have such stupendous gifts and talent that they owe it to the universe to do whatever it takes to bury their demons and continue creating magic for the good of the planet. , W.C. Fields (to thank him a hundred times and to tell Universal to wake up and keep making his films), Stan and Ollie (to thank them a thousand times...), and Jack Benny (39 forever), and Bela, Larry, Moe and Curly. There are many others, but you get the idea...

Movies:

Movies - No dreary human angst or self-indulgent celebrations of the decay of our society, or teenage imbecility saturated in drugs and sex, thank you. Quality fantasies, some good sci-fi, astute political drama, action films with wit and humor, real comedy (VERY hard to find now) and competent escapist fare. No melodramatic, pin-headed sex and self-indulgent 'drama' constantly repainted and forced into the minds of a dumbed down theater flock. Audience reactions...like laughing on cue when the script tells them to...are some of the most frightful aspects of the contemporary movie theater experience. Cloverfield was quite a fun ride. The Illusionist showed that good films and filmmaking are still alive. Depp is America's best actor, of course.
