Ruminations and Chronic Major Depression

The following is a letter to an old friend who is not named here.  It is in response to his vicious and personal attacks on my character that was a follow on to my very brief discussion of current politics. I doubt my friend, who lives in a multi-million dollar home in Rustic Canyon, which he inherited from his parents, even knows what the term ad hominem means.

I said:

Please forgive my tendency to worry over issues to death. I am sure that if I were healthier, if I was at all successful in my personal, creative or professional life, that I would not have the time to worry about this.

Of course, you should not have to hear my extreme politics if you dont want to. I think that we are living the most important period of our lives and any time spent fighting for freedom and our country is worthwhile. You may or may not agree, or maybe you just dont want to hear it from me.

That is fair.

On the other hand, if you care, there are more polite ways of telling me to go away and not bother you.

Its hard for me to let go of old friends, especially one who has been as important as you have been to my life.

Have a good day.

The President as Child Rapist

The evidence is clear.  The president is a child rapist protected by the DOJ over the past 12 or so years.  That includes the DOJ under Biden as run by Merrick Garland.  What is that all about?

Medical Care and Renting an Apartment in N. Carolina

The move to N. Carolina has been in progress for many months now.  I came here for 10 days last year and I have been here for 8 weeks now.

There have been some hard lessons.

I have found that medical care in N. Carolina in the behavioral health area (a euphemism for psychiatric care) is all screwed up.  I have been unable to get medical care (again a euphemism for medication) on a reliable basis.  My principal care physician here has tried to help me out but there is only so much she is comfortable doing.  I am going to try the online ADHD doctors although last time it was just a scam.  FWIW, I tried to set it up remotely from California before I got here and both efforts failed.

The second problem is that rentals are not what they seem here.  One more time the online services, although helpful, are not to be believed.  There is a lot of fraud.  Very often you are not renting your own apartment, but a share in someone else's apartment.  There are very few listings for a studio or part of a house, most are part of a huge apartment building.  Finally, they need to see evidence that you have a real job or real income.  Intermittent consulting as I do does not cut it.  Therefore I would tell you that without a real job or real evidence (tax forms) of a lucrative consulting business, you will not be able to rent here.

Unfortunately, without a stable place to live and real medical assistance, I can not do work.  So the UNC activity has to be on hold until this is achieved.  This is also very damaging, as if I was not damaged enough.  

On the other hand, NC is very beautiful and most of the people I have met are very nice.

The lesson learned is to have a lot of money before attempting to do anything or be sick in America.  I should have known better.

Apparently it is Just Class War

Out of respect for the history and specificity of the term "fascism", I am using the term "right wing dictatorship".

The good news is that we now know definitively whether we can allow rich people to live among us. It is clear that as soon as they could, Bezos, Zuck and others betrayed democracy and their fellow citizens. Their wealth must be seized and the rich sent to therapy centers for their own protection.

Apparently Karl Marx was right and it is just class war.

BALLONA CREEK CHANNELIZATION PROPOSAL JUNE 24, 1929

Kaiser Should Be Terminated

After many years of attempting to use Kaiser, specifically Kaiser behavioral health, I can tell you flat out that they are incompetent and useless.  Their emergency room and laboratory delivers false results which will damage your health and your medical record. They cannot deal with very common medical and behavioral issues. Therefore do not waste your time, disenroll from them, and try to find a real health plan.  I will from time to time post specifics about their incompetence and how they have damaged my life but this little introduction will have to do for now. 

Maybe America Deserves Trump

Maybe Americans deserve Trump.  The Democrats have been dreadful, without vision and backbone.  Maybe Americans are just stupid and deserve this?

Into the Night (1985) with Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer and Classic LAX

Into the Night is a 1985 John Landis film that features iconic Los Angeles locations in various key sequences. My favorite is the climax / end of the movie that takes place somewhere in LAX in one of the walkway terminals with a great mosaic. Now destroyed by the tendency in Los Angeles to destroy famous landmarks.  

Or maybe not.  Apparently some number of the mosaics and their tunnels still exist.  It is not clear to me, at least, whether they are open to the public.

David Bowie has a cameo as an assassin.
