It seems as though A.I. could take over the job market creating huge numbers of unemployed men and women in the US, possibly in the rest of the world as well. This means that vast numbers of human beings will be unemployed. Maybe this is saying that we need fewer people in the world; starting …

Portable Parks
The once iconic street of Manhattan has become the victim of locked wooden fencing masking huge empty spaces. Some of these spaces were beautiful apartment buildings. It may have been 217 Park Avenue where many theater people lived. It was a beautiful building that is now torn down and empty. However, why not turn the …
Trump threatens a “whole civilization will die tonight.”
This letter from Robert Reich says it all. No one could say it better. “Friends. I don’t know how better to put this than to say Trump’s threat this morning to “wipe out a whole civilization” of Iran puts America into a new immoral universe. He is directly threatening a war crime. And every one …

Thrive and Survive

Obama made a perfectly acceptable deal with the Government of Iran with the Ayatollah and …

Farewell, My Love. Dearest of All, Farewell…
There’s something wrong with America today that has enabled us to elect someone who committed treason against the United States. Does it not seem strange to Americans that, despite charges against him, Trump has nonetheless been elected President of the United States of America? Now, is it also not strange that a man who has …

Does the president of the United States of America have the right to declare war or to start wars against any country which he decides is an enemy of America? Does the congress of the United States have something to say about whether the country goes to war or not? Should we not, as a …
