INVASION OF PRIVACY

Amazon has RUINED my book reading experience by letting me know that they are following my every page turn as I read.

Many of the books I read are juvenile books. Which means they are also invading children's privacy.

Amazon is collecting my reading data because they can. Now that all my books are in Kindle, how do I quit Kindle? Unfortunately, the editing information they get from this data is making books as predictable as movies.

Now the Donald is lusting after being able to hack emails. How long will it take him to hack the emails of his enemies if he has the power to order such hacks?

I am beginning to worry about the Donald ordering a nuclear attack in the middle of the night. As we are all dying from mutually assured destruction, he tweets, "I was only being sarcastic. I didn't mean to kill everybody."

I remember when the Weathermen, the IRA, and German radicals were blowing people up. Western civilization survived that, and Western civilization will survive the current crop of psychopaths using politics as an excuse to mass murder.

Luckily, the trees are in bloom. Dark pink, light pink, purple trees abound on my way to get coffee.

This is a really lovely world.

MY PARANOID FANTASY

I have absolutely NO PROOF that my paranoid fantasy is real.

I have been told that Putin enjoys causing chaos. The Western sanctions are REALLY HURTING Russia. NATO is there to hopefully prevent Putin from causing chaos in the Balkans.

Putin knows that Hillary supports both sanctions and NATO.

The Donald is saying that he admires Putin. The Donald may not support NATO.

In my fantasy, Putin has decided to do everything in his power to ensure the election of the Donald.

Russian hackers have broken into the Democratic Party email system. Right before the convention, some emails showing bias towards Hillary have been published by Wikileaks. I can understand that old time Democrats would have a problem supporting someone who was elected to the Senate as an Independent. But emailing such thoughts is stupid and a resignation was in order.

My real fantasy worry is that Putin has his online trolls searching for loners expressing thoughts of violence and death. Using psychological techniques, these trolls are encouraging these people to act out their violence. It is even possible that after locating the loners with violent thoughts, they provide secretly drugged food or drinks to send the loner completely over the edge.

The Donald has made it clear that he is running on a platform of fear.

It is easy to encourage such fear in those who live in the countryside. Even here in San Jose, I have friends who are afraid to go into San Francisco. We need to fight these feeling of fear.

We live in the greatest country on Earth. There are problems, but together we can solve those problems.

INSANE MURDERERS

The last several mass murders in the West were not group affairs. They were the work of criminally insane murderers who used the excuse of politics to justify their appalling actions.

You can not blame Muslims, Christians, Black Lives Matter or any other group for the actions of these psychopaths. The psychopaths blame bullies, police, society, movies, anyone but themselves.

You can not even blame the women who left them or refused to date them. Not being able to control and/or date women seems to be a pattern with many of these insane murderers.

NO ONE WANTS TO ENCOURAGE THESE PSYCHOPATHS.

The really sad part of all of this, is that this is progress. Those in the West who are sane, refuse to help those who want to murder. This also means that it is harder to identify the insane, as they no longer try to get help from the communities around them.

I do worry that it is possible to use drugs and suggestion to get a mixed up person to do something violent. The timing of the latest French tragedy and the coup attempt in Turkey is worrisome.

My only suggestion is to stop using "romantic" terms when describing these insane murderers. Do not call them "lone wolves", call them "socially isolated". Do not call them terrorists, call them insane murderers. Few people want to be remembered as "that socially isolated insane murderer".

STOP THE TROLLS

All of us have to attend GHOSTBUSTERS this weekend. Trolls are trying to tank the movie because they want half naked bimbos in science fiction movies.

Reports are that the new Ghostbusters is a lot of fun.

If we want the movie industry to change, we need to support movies with women and minority stars.

I would be at the front of the line if I did not have horrible sciatica. I loved the old Ghostbusters movies and have been awaiting the new one with pleasure.

Humor is very subjective. If you think your male significant other is going to pre-diss the movie, try and make sure he has taken some herbal relaxation medication. Nothing like being high to cut through prejudice and see the humor in new situations.

COP KILLINGS DUE TO VIDEO GAMES?

Hear me out. The automatic closing of the fist is part of our brain's 'flight or fight' response. The response is hard wired deep in our brains.

Video game shooters keep their fingers on the trigger. Police officers are trained to keep their finger on the trigger guard until they are ready to actually shoot someone. Training is held to make certain that all officers use this safety procedure so that they do not inadvertently kill someone when their hand contracts in the automatic response to stress.

This is serious stuff. On the audio of many of the latest killings, the shooter is saying, "Fuck, fuck, fuck." The tone of voice indicates that they are actually saying, "I did not mean to pull the trigger."

No amount of training can overcome multiple days and years spent shooting at the TV. May I suggest that video game makers make a gun where the shooter has to keep his finger on the trigger guard, then transfer to the trigger only when shooting becomes totally necessary?

Black Lives Matters needs to get off the streets. They are now endangering police officers, who are rightly frightened of being the target of a sniping murderer.

It is a perfect time for Black Lives Matters to change the system from the inside. Cities and counties are easy to influence.

Most people think that it is money that controls American politics. Usually money only gets you into the room to plead your case.

What REALLY gives you political power is the ability to GET PEOPLE to VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION. Political parties are willing to teach you how to do this.

THIS IS NOT A GAME OF COPS AND ROBBERS. Real people are dying unnecessarily. Together we can work out ways to insure the safety of both officers and civilians.

BRITISH COURTS v BREXIT

SOMEWHERE in the vast British common and parliamentary law, there is a statement that politicians can not tell an outright LIE in order to win elections. If there is not, then now is a perfect time to make new law.

The Brexiteers told a provable untruth about the money that they would give the National Health Service. They lowered the amount of money promised the NHS on the day AFTER the Brexit election.

Austrian courts just voided the results of an election because election laws were not correctly followed.

British courts can void the results of the Brexit election by ruling that, "If a leader tells provable untruths in order to win an election, the results of that election are null and void."

Frankly, I am getting tired of the world wide lies being told.

Historically, Britain taught democracy to the entire world.

The US left Britain because we wanted British democracy. All of us have modified our democracies. But Mother Britain was our teacher.

LET BRITISH COURTS TELL US THAT IF YOU LIE TO WIN AN ELECTION, THAT ELECTION IS NULL AND VOID.
