@Roger
“The other big force that took away our freedom in the USA, the once freest country in the World, was world wide human overpopulation.”

I just wanted to correct one statement Jon made.

“There were no childhood conditions’ like ADHD or Bipolar, and we certainly didn’t take any brain drugs. The idea of a kid going to a psychiatrist would have been absurd.”

This statement was true for the vast majority kids in the 1950’s, but not all. Some kids were taken by the “mental health system”, but not willingly. They were taken by brute force by the Police to State Mental Hospitals, mostly for minor crimes. Ever since the marketing of Thorazine to State Mental Hospitals in 1954; that kicked off the whole second generation of Psychiatric Drugs, wave after wave of them came on the market to this day. This kicked off the largest drug epidemic the World has ever known. The gradual expansion of the Psychiatric Police State was the worst part of the 1950’s, even though the majority of the USA population lived very well. But I saw with my own eyes that the bigger this Psychiatric-Police-“mental health” state grew, the worse our country got. The economy got worse, State Hospitals closed down and state prisons became the new “mental hospitals” and the prison-industrial complex grew to huge proportions.

The other big force that took away our freedom in the USA, the once freest country in the World, was world wide human overpopulation.

It was only just last night I decided to read the first chapter of Ray Bradbury’s “Dandelion Wine”. Then I read this article. The effect is … well, inspiration like this does not come along often enough.

It is not difficult to comprehend the hell our humanity has suffered at the hands of those self-illumined piss-ant gods whose sole objective has been the creation of their own exclusive utopia. Through creative imagination via infinite intelligence, you may venture through the valley of death and fully comprehend you are passing your life on a Hollywood stage set, entirely surrounded by false facades. Creative imagination allows the option of overriding the entire grand deception.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you George Dowd.

Merry Christmas, Jon.

This is very relevant when pitched against my latest Ozzie Thinker “tough love” seasonal message:
