Future News: Cleaning Robots Evolves into Intelligent Life Forms on Ancient Abandoned Space Stations
<p>I have a science fiction artificial intelligence character idea in development.</p><p>The character evolves from a cleaning robot. <br>The cleaning robots were developed centuries ago by extinct aliens. <br>They were equipped to clean up the waste in space stations and were equipped with three dimensional printers that could compact the waste they collect into easily retrievable shapes. As the robots advance in their ability to process waste they create other waste processing robots. <br> Eventually the robots are given autonomy over design and adapted to their jobs within the parameters which they were designed and the environment they inhabited. And they started to learn how to work together with the tools they madewith the waste.</p><p>Long after the space stations they were designed to clean were abandoned, they continued to clean, adapt and eventually evolve into multiple life forms. </p><p>They compete with and eventually consume natural creatures like roaches. </p><p>© Greg Spence Wolf 12/18/22 10:27 pm</p><p>edited 2/12/1223</p>

Promote Paraeducators to the Jobs they already do
<p>I want our public school system to train and mentor with the intention to promote, all education support staff.</p>
<p>This includes education support professionals, paraprofessionals, paraeducators, special education assistants, bilingual assistants, preschool assistants and instructional assistants.<br>Anyone who's job is to work with students towards their educational goals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want them to be interned to be the lead teacher or therapist and be prepared to substitute or be promoted to the jobs that they assist or do alongside licensed professionals.</p>
<p>I want paraeducators to be trained and promoted to be certified teachers, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech language pathologists and most importantly licensed behavior ttherapists.</p>
<p>I want this because paraeducators spend the most time with their students and know them the best. Instead of having special education students spend 80% of their time with assistants who have little training and no say in the lesson plans, I want students to spend 100% of their time with licensed support staff.</p>
<p>I want this because paraeducators do most aspects of the jobs they support and most of the behavior support in special education classrooms.</p>
<p>Paraeducators do Speech Therapy when they:</p>
<p>Do sight word practice,<br>Help kids learn how to decode phonics,<br>Ask a student clarifying questions about a passage they just read in a book.<br>Teach a student how to communicate with pictures</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want paraeducators to be trained and promoted to physical therapist because para-educators do physical therapy when they:</p>
<p>Help students with physically challenging tasks in gym class.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want paraeducators to be promoted and trained to be occupational therapists because paraeducators teach valuable life skills when they show a student:<br>How to use a three fingered grip on a pencil,</p>
<p>How to open a milk carton and shrink wrapped food packaging,<br>How to wash their hands,<br>How to be more independent in the bathroom.<br>How to use a zipper<br>how to open a locker.<br>How to take their jackets on and off.</p>
<p>How to tie their shoes</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want paraeducators to be trained and promoted to be licensed behavior therapists.</p>
<p>Most special education classrooms have no licensed behavior therapists and rely on the special education teacher to develop a behavior plan. I have observed Clover Park School District and Franklin Pierce School District use behavior techs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All special education classrooms I have worked in, during my 15 years of experience, in special education have one to four assistant teachers or paraeducators.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My personal observations tell me that In special education the more profound the need of the student, and the more extreme a student's behavior is, the more likely they will be served by a paraeducator or an assistant teacher.</p>

Asault Weapons is the crime issue that is a real threat
<p>Are you willing to ban assault weapons. <br>Having my car broken into on Rt 7 is frustrating. I had to pay to fix my window. </p>
<p><br>Thankfully my employer didn't make me pay for the laptop that was stolen. <br>They were obviously targeting my computer because they left my ukulele and my backpack in the car. </p>
<p>The police never investigate these cases. They let you file a report on their website for insurance purposes. </p>
<p>The police never investigate home burglaries. In Seattle or Tacoma. </p>
<p>The police are now very good about domestic violence. Even violence between housemates. </p>
<p>My response to the break-in was to no longer leave any device with a WiFi or Bluetooth signal in my car. </p>
<p>Assault weapons I can't adapt to. If I am shot by an assault weapon, you won't be able to recognize my body. </p>
<p>Greg Abbott is sending DNA test kids to Schools to help people identify their children after assault rifle massacres. </p>
<p>This is because Texas lawmakers won't pass any restrictions on weapons that should only used to shoot Russian tanks on the streets of Ukraine. </p>
<p>I was frustrated by the break in, but I want us to be protected from assault weapons. <br>Http://www.gregspencewolf.com/blog-and-news</p>

Why I withdrew all my money from Alternatives Federal Credit Union
<p>Dear AFCU, </p>
<p>I am furious that your bank sent me a letter in 2012 saying that you were going to start taking money out of my account because I didn't have enough money in the bank. </p>
<p>I withdrew the rest of my money rather than let you steal it through fees. </p>
<p>How dare you call yourself a community development credit union when you steal from your poorest members. </p>
<p>How dare you call yourself a community development credit union when you charge a $20 overdraft fee for a $3.50 check. </p>
<p>How about you start actually working with people who are living on the margins. </p>
<p>I was a member for 20 years when I requested a car loan in 2010. You were only willing to lend me the amount I had in your bank.$600. Why, probably because I never went into debt before. Because I wasn't irresponsible in the past and had no history of debt. Because I was always able to live within my means you falsely thought I was a bad credit risk. You don't recognize that people without credit cards are the most responsible people. </p>
<p>So I withdrew most the money I had to buy the car. </p>
<p>And then a year later you sent me a letter saying that I don't have enough money in your bank to justify you keeping me as a member. </p>
<p>That's when you showed what kind of bank you are. You are a greedy capitalist bank with a really good public relations department. </p>
<p>I still have the car. I bought it with a no-intrest loan from Toyota. That car enabled me to get jobs I couldn't without a car and it enabled me to be a very effective stepdad for five years. I took my son to school in that car. I have toured the country in that car. When I came back to Ithaca NY in that car to visit, I withdrew all money from my account. </p>
<p>I told the bank teller why. He apologized for me being unhappy about the situation. But he didn't offer to fix the situation or work to change the policy. He didn't even acknowledge that the policy sucks or should be reexamined. </p>
<p>As a member of 25 years who at one point was promoting Alternatives, I feel like I was blindsided when you letter said that you were going to take a fee out of my account. </p>
<p>I now see you not as a positive influece in the community. And instead see Alternatives as a con act. A bank that operates within the liberal market niche. </p>
<p>Your commitment to serving the poor is fake. As a former poor person who is now a homeowner I am calling on you to genuinely help the poor by not hurting them with fees. </p>
<p>Sincerely </p>

Observations about Substitute Teaching
<p>Recently I drove down Military Rd to teach at an Elementary School on a military base. </p>
<p>When I was on the base I saw tanks driving the street the other way. </p>
<p>As I drove past I read signs that said "Student Driver" </p>
<p>Those were not my students. <br>:)</p>
<p>9/?/22</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had to make a kindergarten class keep their water bottles at their desks due to spills, intentional dumping and people running in the classroom.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went from a kindergarten class and figured out as the day progressed that I could loosen the water bottle rule. Due to no pouring, tiny spills, a carpet instead of a cement floor and because of no chase games.</p>
<p>I told them that they were twice as mature as kindergarteners and signed up for another day in 1st grade.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>10/9/22</p>
<p>When I returned something I accidentally brought home to the classroom I subbed in a couple days before the kids all cried spontaneously</p>
<p>"Hi Mr Wolf."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I keep that in mind whenever one student says Mr Wolf again.</p>

Substitute teachers are overfeed by Washington State.
<p>I am applying to be a substitute teacher. I learned today that the state of Washington charges an emergency certified substitute for each school district they apply for. </p>
<p>On top of paying us no benefits for subbing. </p>
<p>There is no guarantee that I will be able to work every day with any district. </p>
<p>I am a student who is enrolled in an alt routes to certification program. I can't afford the $68 fee for the emergency certificate in the first place. </p>
<p>I have been offered another position as a substitute and the state wants an additional $51 for an emergency certificate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My previous job was a Franklin Pierce School District Paraeducator. A low wage job in a low paying district. </p>
<p>This separation of districts causes great inequality statewide.</p>
<p>If there is a teacher shortage, then drop the fee for substitutes. People who need jobs, or better jobs, don't have $68 to spend on a teaching certificate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My guess when I get an internship I will have to pay another fee <br>Some districts, like Clover Park School District, pay for all the fingerprinting costs, while others make you pay for getting them and submitting them to the state. </p>
<p>Can't I get a public school job and simply be a state employee who can transfer all their credentials, salary, benefits, trainings etc between schools.</p>
<p>We have a separate and unequal system in Washington. </p>
<p>When I worked in Seattle as a paraeducator I could afford to buy a house an hour away in Tacoma. <br>Seattle Teachers can afford to buy houses in Seattle or at least King County. <br>When I got a job as a paraeducator in Franklin Pierce School District I took an $700 a month net pay cut. Meaning that as an employee of a Pierce County school district I couldn't afford to buy a house. Or at least qualify for a loan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would like all school district jobs to be fully state jobs that are paid fairly and not dependent on local school boards to struggle for money.</p>

Response to a assault rifle rationalizer on Next-Door.
<p>When Robb Elementary was assaulted there were many good guys with guns. But they hesitated, because they were outgunned. <br>The NRA says that they want the government to be afraid of it's people. Well they got that. The government was afraid of people carrying assault rifles. <br>Ban assault rifles. </p><p>If you make anymore posts on my posts that encourage violence, I will block you. I work at a school. A mixed race school with the kind of population that these fascists tend to target. </p><p>For the safety of all students we have a moral obligation to ban AR-15 weapons and all other weapons of war. </p><p>Eating fat makes people fat. </p><p>Buying assault rifles makes people kill. </p><p>I believe in letting people put in their bodies what they want to. But just like I can't make you eat a carrot. You can't make me be shot by your gun <br> Your guns must be regulated to save innocent people's lives.</p><p> </p><p>1/21/23 </p><p>Mass shooting. Ten people killed by a gunman in Monterey Park, Los Angeles, California.</p><p>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2023/jan/22/california-mass-shooting-los-angeles-monterey-park-dance-club-latest-news</p>

When a Teacher Sexually Harasses a Paraeducator, The Teacher Gets Away With It.
<p>I am a survivor of workplace sexual harassment</p>
<p>I hesitate to talk about it because other people have seen worse</p>
<p>I don't like to think about sexual harassment</p>
<p>But if I don't talk about it, then it turns into a curse.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hate talk about it because it causes so much pain </p>
<p>It makes me angry and it makes me sad.</p>
<p>I hope no one ever does that again </p>
<p>I feel like crying when I should tell you I'm mad.</p>
<p>I'm mad because the system allows teachers to have their way, have a say and get away with abuse.</p>
<p>Gives them authority over other educators that they can use.</p>
<p>At their discretion, they tell you what to do.</p>
<p>Because the system makes us vulnerable to being in conflict ...</p>
<p>Because assistants don't have clear job descriptions in education</p>
<p>They're responsible for everything and get credit for nothing in this situation </p>
<p>I want to tell you that the working situation is bad.</p>
<p>Because it breeds conflict and I know because I have</p>
<p>To deal with the fights and toxic language</p>
<p>People throw at me at work</p>
<p>I wish they weren't such jerks</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This harassment happened from 2014 to 2017. </p>
<p>This happened because I was nice and someone else was mean.</p>
<p><br>She would touch me from behind or the side, or on my head.</p>
<p>I never encouraged her, there was nothing that I said.</p>
<p>I told her I was married and that I loved my wife </p>
<p>There was nothing that could be interpreted as me wanting to be in intimacy with the teacher working with me.</p>
<p><br>She used her role as "supervisor" to gain access to me.</p>
<p>She used workplace discussions as an excuse to get close to me.</p>
<p>She would stand close and nuzzle up against me like she was my date. </p>
<p><br>I edged away from her a few inches because she was not my mate.</p>
<p>And then she got shoulder to shoulder with me again two more times. </p>
<p><br>All while pretending to be interested in my ongoing observation of a student at recess.</p>
<p>When it first filed my complaint and told all my coworkers</p>
<p>They understood because they had met her</p>
<p>Even the principals knew how mean she was.</p>
<p> I no longer was assigned to her classroom. And she still found ways to get in my space.</p>
<p>So I got a no contact order at work when I filed the complaint.</p>
<p>When a Teacher Sexually Harasses a Paraeducator,</p>
<p>Then the Teacher Gets Away With It.</p>
<p>Teachers can yell and scream and lose control</p>
<p>And teaching assistants pay the toll.</p>

<p>You Put A Spell On Me</p>
<p>You put a spell on me,</p>
<p>and now I'm yours,</p>
<p>You put a spell on me,</p>
<p>and there's no cure,</p>
<p>I can't think about anyone else,</p>
<p>Every one I see I just gotta tell, about you</p>
<p>There¹s nothing I can do,</p>
<p>since,</p>
<p>You put a spell on me,</p>
<p>That needs no cure,</p>
<p>Because that spell that you cast,</p>
<p>It doesn't hurt.</p>
<p>I sing about you in all of my rhymes,</p>
<p>Because you make me feel so fine,</p>
<p>I'm thinking about you all of the time,</p>
<p>Oh baby I wish that you were mine,</p>
<p>since, You put a spell on me,</p>
<p>That doesn't hurt,</p>
<p>I suppose that it,</p>
<p>Could have been worse.</p>
<p>I used to think that it was just infatuation,</p>
<p>Until I took a good look into my situation,</p>
<p>And when I got a glimpse into my hearts motivations,</p>
<p>I realized that I was in for the duration.</p>
<p>Because</p>
<p>you put a spell on me,</p>
<p>But it could have been worse,</p>
<p>Because that spell that you cast,</p>
<p>It ain't no curse.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I realize that I am responsible,</p>
<p>For the way that I feel,</p>
<p>That I must stay in control,</p>
<p>And learn to deal.</p>
<p>With the fact that you took me in your arms</p>
<p>and held me tight.</p>
<p>WIth the fact that you graced me with your charms the other night.</p>
<p>Ever since you placed that kiss upon my cheek.</p>
<p>It is you that I miss and romance that I seek.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It didn't do me no harm so I can¹t call it a crime.</p>
<p>But when you look me in the eyes no you can not deny, that,</p>
<p>You put a spell on me, That ain't no curse.</p>
<p>And since you cast that spell, I am yours.</p>

The Tofu Serenade
<p>THE TOFU SERANADE <br>Maybe now you could never conceive, <br>That there'd ever be a food that would go with everything, <br>I know that you would never believe, <br>That there'd ever be a food, that could taste like anything... </p>
<p>But just open your mind, and take a bite, <br>Then you might find, out that you like... </p>
<p>Tofu, so good for me, </p>
<p>Tofu, so good to eat, <br>Tofu, better than meat, <br>Everything I eat goes better with Tofu. </p>
<p>No other food has quite the consistency of Tofu, so good for you, <br>Tofu, does a body good, <br>Tofu, America's health kick. </p>
<p>No other food has quite the versatility of tofu, No, No, No, <br>I've just got to face the facts, I'm hopelessly addicted to tofu. </p>
<p>I buy tofu, at the coop, the health food coop <br>Every night I think of something new, that I can do, with tofu. </p>
<p>Stir fry, marinate, tofu yong or eat it straight. </p>
<p>Tofu fills me up with protein, higher than the RDA, hey, hey, hey. <br>Tofu fills me up with acetylcholine, deep inside of my blood stream. <br>And it's just like a dream, when I eat tofu, everynight. <br>I don't know if it's real food; but I know that I like, every bite of... <br>Tofu, so good for me, <br>Tofu, so good for you, <br>Tofu, real food for real people. </p>
<p>Some day, tofu, the food that you abhor, <br>Will be the only food you're craving for. <br>Some day, you're gonna be, cooking with me, tofu, tofu, tofu. <br>You're gonna be, eating with me, tofu, tofu, tofu. <br>Come on by anytime, cuz I wanna have some tofu with you baby. </p>

VACCINES
<p>Vaccines work by teaching your body how to fight disease.</p>
<p>Vaccines give your body immunity.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The natural immunity you get from being sick from COVID-19</p>
<p>Is much more painful than a jab in the arm.</p>
<p>It does more harm.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is gained with the pain and suffering of being sick.</p>
<p>That's the trick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sick in the lungs where spike proteins replicate.</p>
<p>And mutate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sick in the throat where you cough up COVID.</p>
<p>No that ain't great.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sick in the nose where the testing device goes.</p>
<p>Now you wait.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A pain and suffering that you can pass on,</p>
<p>Because COVID19 and Omicron,</p>
<p>Are airborne viruses that travel from your nose or your throat or your lungs.</p>
<p>They spread through your cough and your sneeze and your hands if they're not clean,</p>
<p>That's not a lot of fun.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And then you could pass it on to somebody else, when you're not well.</p>
<p>Who may also experience that suffering. A living hell.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If they are not protected and immunized with a vaccine.</p>
<p>They won't feel well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>According to the CDC.</p>
<p>"Getting a COVID-19 vaccination...</p>
<p>Is a safer and more dependable way...</p>
<p>To build immunity to COVID-19....</p>
<p>Than getting sick with COVID-19."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A jab in the arm does very little harm,</p>
<p>A sore arm is no cause for alarm,</p>
<p>But a wave of hospitalizations is,</p>
<p>So roll up your sleve and say,</p>
<p>"Please give me a vaccine."'</p>

<p>The big banks are buying up the little banks,</p>

<p>Can you say "JPMorgan Chase Manhattan - Washington Mutual - Fleet Boston Financial Corporation"?</p>

Special Education Classrooms Warehouse Children with the most profound disabilities together without prividing licensed support for their most profound needs.
<p>I have worked as an educator for over fifteen years. I have worked in three school districts. I have worked as a substitute and a permanent employee. I have worked as a paraeducator and a substitute teacher.</p>
<p>I have noticed that there are special education classrooms in some districts that they put the kids that would disrupt a regular education classroom. This benefits the students and teachers in regular education classes. I believe that these students get put together in the same classroom where they disrupt each other's education. Then they disrupt each other's educstion. </p>
<p>They also get put in classrooms that have the most profound learning, motor and communcation disabilities. Including students who are nonverbal. And students who can't learn from a sit down lecture. </p>
<p>These problems occur because we overcrowd students with multiple different types of disabilities into classrooms without staffing the classrooms to appropriately address their varied and often individual needs.</p>
<p>The students with the disruptive social behaviors who are highly capable of academic learning don't get the academic support that they need be successful in the workplace.</p>
<p>Because their behavior issues are not addressed by licensed behavior staff they don't get the socials skills training that they need to make healthy friendships</p>
<p>And because special education teachers are are overworked due to planning curriculum for two or three grade levels.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This disruptive behavior overloads and burns out the educators in the classroom as well.</p>
<p>There is a very high turnover rate in special education classrooms because of this.</p>
<p>A special education classroom I worked in recently has had five people leave the program in two years.</p>

Proud Moment Working Through Zoom - Friday, January 14 2022
<p>I work as a public school paraeducator. On Friday January 14 I was preparing for remote online learning session over Zoom.</p>
<p>When I was asked to suggest activities from the Certified Teacher I brought up two ideas that I participated in while working remotely in the past.</p>
<p><br>I suggested that we do a color or shape scavenger hunt. I also suggested that we do a copying game called "Do What I Do."</p>
<p>I am proud to say that my suggestions were heeded and we that I led the "Do What I Do" song and that the class did a color scavenger hunt for one remote learning session.</p>

"My Cadillac Don't Run No More" Music and lyrics by Greg Spence Wolf
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>My Cadillac Don't Run No More words and music Greg Spence Wolf </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>My Cadillac, don't run no more, </p>
<p>It sits in pieces outside my door </p>
<p>Its rear end is all smashed in </p>
<p>And my Cadillac don't run no more. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some son of a gun, pulled a hit and run </p>
<p>He probably had no insurance </p>
<p>Now my rear end Is all smashed in</p>
<p>And my Cadillac don't run no more.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I always park defensively </p>
<p>So that nobody will hit me </p>
<p>I was certain I would not get hit that day, </p>
<p>It did not work out that way. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My Cadillac don't run no more </p>
<p>It sits in pieces outside my door </p>
<p>It's rear end is all smashed in </p>
<p>And my Cadillac don't run no more. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now that old car, just good for parts </p>
<p>To see it there just breaks my heart </p>
<p>It's transmission won't even start </p>
<p>Now I got a Redneck Yard. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My Cadillac don't run no more </p>
<p>It sits in pieces outside my door </p>
<p>It's rear end is all smashed in </p>
<p>And my Cadillac don't run no more. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Upbeat gospel singing/ bluegrass picking style </p>
<p>GGGG GGGG (My Cadillac Don't Run No More) </p>
<p>CCCC GGGG (It sits in pieces outside my door) </p>
<p>GGGG Em Em Em Em (It's rear end is all smashed in) </p>
<p>GGDD GGGG (And my Cadillac don't run no more)</p>
<p>The first G in GGGG actually hits on the syllable "lac" in the lyric "Cadillac".</p>
<p>In other words, "My ca dil" are pickup notes sung as the last three eighth nots of the previous measure.</p>

Immigration Should Not Be Illegal Because Immigration is a Not a Crime
<p><span class="font_regular">Immigration, should not be illegal, because immigration is </span>is not a crime.</p>
<p>Freedom of movement should be protected because migration is a human right.</p>
<p>Offerring refuge is essential because without it we can't control our plight.</p>
<p>Borders are artificial, created by government officials, borders change all the time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Immigration is a pillar of all freedom, without it we are slaves,</p>
<p>To the human traffickers and the brutal dictators who would decide our fates.</p>
<p>Allowing people to take refuge is how we challenge the oppressors</p>
<p>Please stop interfering with our freedom of movement across national borders.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">People should not have to fight, or flee in the middle of the night</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">For the right to work, live and play, where the jobs are today.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">People and jobs move with the season, </span><span style="color:#4e5f70;">Immigrants work </span>wherever they are needed.</p>
<p>I think that is a good reason, For us to let them be free.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Poor immigrants do farm labor in the worst of conditions,</p>
<p>Why do we make them face deportation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why are immigrants vilified in newspaper columns that overemphasize their crimes?</p>
<p>Why are they scapegoated and blamed for the economy's demise</p>
<p>Why are they lied about and despised.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Immigrants are unfairly criticized so that they can be quickly deported.</p>
<p>So that they can be taken advantage of and have wages stolen by employers,</p>
<p>So they can be overworked, abused and sexually exploited.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Immigrants are <span style="color:#4e5f70;">not a threat to public order,</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">It is not a problem that they cross a national border.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">To seek a job, a home or safety in another state or country.</span></p>
<p>We should not lock up immigrants, we should set them free.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">We should not block free migration, that only blocks true liberation.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">We should be a truly free nation, let all make everywhere their destination.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">Tear down the walls, Let the detention walls fall</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">This world belongs to all, Let all hear freedom's call.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">Immigration is a blessing, People should not be messing</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#4e5f70;">With the people who must travel, To and fro to make a living.</span></p>

<pre>Did Derek Chauvin kill George Floyd
To show his authority?
Did he think he'd be respected
By his fellow police?
Why it take a riot to get him arrested?
Do you really think all lives really matter?
Why do we even need one protest to get a murderer arrested?
When a non-violent person
----is killed by the police
-------why are the police exempt from responsibility
Do Black Lives (really) matter in this country ?
If they don't matter to the Minneapolis police.

<p><u>Why didn't <span class="font_large">Trayvon Martin's Life</span> Matter to george zimmerman?</u></p>
<pre>Do all lives matter in this country
If Black Teen Lives don't matter to fake vigilantes?
If George Zimmerman can get away with murder,
Because he decided to manufacture,
A threat in his head, to justify his fetish, for his gun.
How can you tell anyone - that all Lives matter . . . in the USA?
If an unarmed teenager on his way home
Doesn't make it home.
DOES NOT ARRIVE ALIVE....
I would like it to be known:
That we are not free country.
That we are not a land of liberty.
No we are a land of too many guns and petty tyranny.
Instead of a land of solidariity
Trayvon Martin was never a threat
And George Zimmerman should be full of regret
We should speak up for justice and never forget
That we haven't reached equality yet.
Do all lives matter in Florida?
Do you really think that all lives matter in this country?

Thoughts on abuse and songs about it too.
<p>There are many types of physical and emotional abuse that I have witnessed and or experienced.</p>
<p>I have experienced them from family members, housemates, coworkers and random strangers.</p>
<p>When I was a teen I used to ride my bicycle through the parking lot of the corner bar. A bar is generally a place for a 13-17 year old kid to avoid. But it's parking lot was usually the safest and most convenient route to ride my bike. I avoided a busy street that way, it led to the convenience store and people smoked inside in those days, so no one was in the parking lot for me to hit with my bike.</p>
<p>One night this "safer" route was scary. A woman in her twenties was running out of the bar crying as a similar aged man yelled and grabbed her.</p>
<p>He said some thing like, "You can't" run away from me because, "you're my girlfriend."</p>
<p>I decided to keep riding my bike. I was no match for an angry drunk. No one, especially my mother, would have blamed me for riding away and saying nothing.</p>
<p>And I did. But in my head I rationalized doing so not using a healthy fear of being injured by this asshole. But for a moment I actually thought, "I guess that's okay if she's his girlfriend."</p>
<p>Before I could ask my self if that was true, a woman charged out after him yelling, "Oh no you don't. Get your hands off of her."</p>
<p>She was followed by at least two supporters.</p>
<p>This 5 foot 7 teenager didn't wait to see how this fight played out.</p>
<p>But the courage of her response inspired me to see abuse differently. To see all abuse as unacceptable. And to have the courage later in life to challenge some abuse that I felt safe handling.<br>Threats of physical violence while pursuing someone and screaming at them is obviously abuse to most people. Psychological and emotional abuse are much harder to recognize and based on my own observations, more likely to be tolerated by people who would never tolerate the more aggressive types of abuse.</p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Examples of abuse:</strong></span></p>
<p><br>"Mental mistreatment or emotional abuse is deliberately causing mental or emotional pain. Examples include intimidation, coercion, ridiculing, harassment, treating an adult like a child, isolating an adult from family, friends, or regular activity, use of silence to control behavior, and yelling or swearing which results in mental distress."<br>https://www.dshs.wa.gov/altsa/home-and-community-services/types-and-signs-abuse </p>
<p><strong>Accusing, blaming, and denial </strong></p>
<p>This behavior comes from an abuser’s insecurities. They want to create a hierarchy in which they’re at the top and you’re at the bottom. </p>
<p>Here are some examples:</p>
<p><strong>Jealousy.</strong> They accuse you of flirting or cheating on them. </p>
<p><br><strong>Turning the tables.</strong> They say you cause their rage and control issues by being such a pain. </p>
<p><br><strong>Gaslighting-</strong> Denying something you know is true. An abuser will deny that an argument or even an agreement took place. </p>
<p>It’s meant to make you question your own memory and sanity. </p>
<p>This video by the Chicks is about one band members experience with gaslighting from their husband.</p>

<p><br><strong>Using guilt.</strong> They might say something like, “You owe me this. Look at all I’ve done for you,” in an attempt to get their way. </p>
<p>EX: "You blame a lot on ____'</p>
<p><br><strong>Goading then blaming</strong>. Abusers know just how to upset you. But once the trouble starts, it’s your fault for creating it.</p>
<p><br><strong>Denying their abuse</strong>. When you complain about their attacks, abusers will deny it, seemingly bewildered at the very thought of it. </p>
<p><br><strong>Accusing you of abuse.</strong> They say you’re the one who has anger and control issues and they’re the helpless victim. (Example - Someone screams at you five times, but when you yell back to ask them to stop they accuse of screaming at them.)</p>
<p><br><strong>Trivializing.</strong> When you want to talk about your hurt feelings, they accuse you of overreacting and making mountains out of molehills. </p>
<p>When someone hit me and I brought it up later I was told to man up and take it like a man by two people. The hitter and a buddy.</p>
<p>Here's a song about trivializing people's feelings. It's called "My Friend." It was written by Jimi Hendrix and performed wonderfully by Kimber Annie</p>
<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HUPXM0Ci79c" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Saying you have no sense of humor</strong>. Abusers make personal jokes about you. If you object, they’ll tell you to lighten up. </p>
<p><br><strong>Blaming you for their problems</strong>. Whatever’s wrong in their life is all your fault. You’re not supportive enough, didn’t do enough, or stuck your nose where it didn’t belong. </p>
<p><br><strong>Destroying and denying</strong>. They might crack your cell phone screen or “lose” your car keys, then deny it. </p>
<p><strong>Scapegoating</strong> - Building up a negative image about another.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Personal example.</p>
<p>I heard a former partner say "I hope someday they figure out what kind of person such and such or so and so is." in their attempts to turn me against other relatives.</p>
<p><strong>Personal Experiences with abuse:</strong></p>
<p> People have used intimidtion on me by calling the police on me when I didn't obey them in my own home.</p>
<p> People have used intimidation on me by calling a friend to gang up on me during an argument</p>
<p> A neighborhood gang smashed my bike when I was a teen in Colonie New York. They let me know I wasn't welcome in that neighborhood. I didn't go back.<br>I believe that teaching kids to hate another co-parent is a form of abuse. </p>

Thoughts on Parenting
<p>When you watch kids they take up your time.</p>
<p>Working and planning and making sure things turn out fine</p>
<p>Because they're depending on you to and what you decide</p>
<p>To come out right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I raise kids for five and a half years,</p>
<p>Held their hands, dried their tears,</p>
<p>Listenned to their hopes and fears.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>From early in the morning till you tuck them in at night</p>
<p>There's so many details you got to get right</p>
<p>Including getting them to the bus on time.</p>
<p>And waving at them while they drive out of sight.</p>
<p>Bye Bye, for now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You take them back and forth to school</p>
<p>And teach them all the golden rules</p>
<p>Give the best advice you have</p>
<p>On making friends and doing math.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hoping that they'll eat the food upon their plates.</p>
<p>Hoping that you can find food that they don't hate.</p>
<p>Tell them where to find their first jobs</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>===================</p>
<p>One of the first days I was watching my stepson, back in fall 2013 I was doing dishes in the kitchen when a friend called to ask for advice. My four year old step-kid was making a blanket, stuffed animal fort over the living room furniture. That was one of his favorite activities.</p>
<p>My friend asked me what the commotion was in the background and I explained that they were playing and having a blast.</p>
<p>She said, "Ah, childcare." To which I replied.</p>
<p>"Parenting"</p>
<p>My step-kid loved making forts out of blankets and pillows. He loved pillow fights. At times it seemed childish, but then again, why shouldn't children be a little childish.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had a good relationship with my stepson. But our wake up routine was challenging.</p>
<p>I remember all the different strategies I used to persuade my son to get out of bed quicker .</p>
<p>One family member told me to drag em out. I decided that I wasn't going to push his feet out of bed as I was told, and instead that I would persuade him to get up. This is easier said than done.<br>Another family member used to remove his blankets, so I tried that. This often led to a defensive reaction and then to me rationalizing the action. Ultimately, it all seemed too abrupt and I eventually figured out a two new ways to get a stubborn kid up and excited about the day.</p>
<p>After years of realizing I had an opositional approach as well. I tried using low interest but interesting videos, like folk music. I found that this created a more relaxing mood and less resistance to getting up. When I was able to get myself up independently as a kid I would wake up to the radio. With my step-kid, a music video that isn't a favorite, but is still good, put him in a good mood and bred a more cooperative attitude. </p>
<p>The other strategy was to offer a reward for getting up on time, usually a snack after school. I raised the bar by a minute each day, so that the child became more self disciplined and was more likely to look at getting up positively. </p>
<p>At one time, this was working so well that we were twenty minutes early to school. My 2nd grade stepkid asked if they could get a snack before school. I said yes because they did a good job and traffic was light . They got fritos and I got gas and coffee.</p>
<p>There was a three dollar limit on the treat and it had to be free of artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.</p>

I want equality for step parents in divorces.
<p>Even though I have not been a legally engaged stepdad for almost three years, I still worry about my kids. I still wonder if they are upset about something that happened at school. I still wonder if they need help with homework. I still want them to go to the doctor and dentist, just like my parents did after I moved out. </p>
<p>I know their parents take care of them adequately. But I know I put them first whenever I could for five and a half years. And I believe that it takes a village to raise a child. I also believe that continuity is healthy. </p>
<p>When a step parent divorces they are considered free of this responsibility. And if the step parent wants to help their kids because that's what they have devoted the last five years of their life to, their previous commitments are considered irrelevant unless they can prove the biological parents are bad parents. It doesn't matter how much the step parent benefited the step child. It only matters how the biological parents feel about the child's relationship with the parent.</p>
<p>I think that the best interests of the child and who has been caring for the child and that visitation requests by step parents should not be an opositional approach. Instead, safety and continuity should be the first consideration.</p>
<p>Where does the child live?</p>
<p>Can their housing and schooling locations be continued?</p>
<p>Who is responsible for the child's education?</p>
<p>How will that best be achieved? Who does the most care?</p>
<p>ETC.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>When you take care of kids they take up your time</p>
<p>Working and planning to make sure things work out alright</p>
<p>Because they're depending on what you decide to get it right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>From early in the morning to late at night.</p>
<p>So many details you got to get right</p>
<p>Hoping that you get them to the bus on time.</p>
<p>And waving at them till the bus pulls out of sight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When you can't see the kids, You don't feel right. </p>
<p>You toss and you turn and you wonder if they're alright. </p>
<p>You hope they're always treated right by everyone. </p>
<p>When you can't see the ones that you took care of </p>
<p>Day and night gave all your love </p>
<p>What do you do with your dedication </p>
<p>In that situation. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>When you feel like a part of you has died</p>
<p>Because the biggest part of your life has been denied</p>

She's A Good Wife
<p style="margin:1em 0px"><span style="line-height:1.9"><b>She's a Good Wife</b></span></p>
<pre>She's a good wife,
Cuz she don't let me down.
I married her,
Because she's the best I've found
I know that she meant what she said in her wedding vows
I trust her and I know that
And she won't let me down.
When this cold world knocks me down,
She lifts my spirits up off the ground,
With kind words that can stop a frown
She holds me in her arms so tight,
I'll keep her safe and warm all night
And give her every delight she gives me and more
I'll give her a love worth living for,
That's for sure.
She's a good wife,
She keeps me safe and sound.
So she's the one I want to have around.
I ain't saying that
I'm always right,
And when she points it out
she's not looking for a fight
She'll work it out Day or night.
We might get mad,
but I won't make her sad
I'll rarely be bad,
I hope that she's glad
That she took me into her life
I'll be glad to reduce her pain and strife
That's right.
Mi sexy esposa
Es muy hermosa

I Ride My Bicycle
<p>I RIDE MY BICYCLE</p>
<p>Round and round the town we go on our bicycles,</p>
<p>Round and round our pedals go, moving fast, moving slow,</p>
<p>Up and down the hills we go, huffing, puffing as we go,</p>
<p>Riding to the greatest places you could want to go.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I ride my bicycle to work every day,</p>
<p>And I take my bicycle, home every night,</p>
<p>Dealing with cars, who get in my way, and,</p>
<p>Dealing with potholes left and right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And, when I ride, my bicycle at night.</p>
<p>I use a handle bar head light.</p>
<p>So I can see where I'm going.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I ride my bicycle to the grocery store,</p>
<p>And I take my bicycle, when I run my chores,</p>
<p>Dealing with drivers who yell, get out of the way,</p>
<p>Because they think I ride my bike real slow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I try to ride, my bicycle really safe because,</p>
<p>I don't think that roads are safe for race.</p>
<p>I watch out for cars, cuz cars are dangerous,</p>
<p>I watch out for trucks, cuz trucks endanger us,</p>
<p>I keep my eyes upon the road.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Round and Round the country we go, on our bicycles,</p>
<p>Round and round our wheels go, clicking, ticking as they go,</p>
<p>Up and down the hills we go, building muscles as we go,</p>
<p>Riding to the greatest places you could want to go.</p>

<p>CABALIZO EN BICICLETA</p>
<p>Vuelta y vuelta a la ciudad vamos en nuestras bicicletas,</p>
<p>Alrededor y alrededor de nuestros pedales van,</p>
<p>moviéndose rápido, moviéndose lento, Arriba y abajo de las colinas vamos,</p>
<p>huffing, soplando a medida que avanzamos,</p>
<p>Cabalgando a los mejores lugares a los que podrías querer ir.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Voy en bicicleta al trabajo todos los días,</p>
<p>Y tomo mi bicicleta, a casa todas las noches,</p>
<p>Tratando con los coches, que se me mete en mi camino, y,</p>
<p>Tratando con baches a izquierda y derecha.</p>
<p>Y, cuando ando, mi bicicleta por la noche.</p>
<p>Yo uso una luz de la cabeza del manillar.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Así puedo ver adónde voy.</p>
<p>Voy en bicicleta a la tienda de comestibles,</p>
<p>Y tomo mi bicicleta, cuando dirijo mis tareas, T</p>
<p>ratando con conductores que gritan, inging de la manera,</p>
<p>Porque creen que ando en bicicleta muy despacio.</p>
<p>Trato de montar, mi bicicleta muy segura porque,</p>
<p>No creo que los caminos sean seguros para la carrera.</p>
<p>Cuído los coches, porque los coches son peligrosos,</p>
<p>Cuído a los camiones, porque los camiones nos ponen en peligro,</p>
<p>Mantenlo mis ojos en el camino.</p>
<p>Vuelta y vuelta al país vamos, en nuestras bicicletas,</p>
<p>Alrededor y alrededor de nuestras ruedas van, haciendo clic, marcando sobre la marcha,</p>
<p>Arriba y abajo de las colinas vamos, construyendo músculos a medida que avanzamos,</p>
<p>Cabalgando a los mejores lugares a los que podrías querer ir.</p>

How We Are Divided Politically
<p> We are divided politically by people using the media to stir up fear and hate for the purposes benfitting themselves by putting themselves on top of the feud.</p>
<p>Most of the memes posted online by people are fed to them by Facebook in order to start arguments. They use emotionally charged talking points that don't encourage critical thinking but instead work to encourage blame.</p>
<p>One meme showed a veteran with an amputated foot. It said, "I bet none of you kneelers are gonna get this vet a new leg."</p>
<ul> <li>It wasn't a link to a fundraiser. </li> <li>It wasn't an information picture about what injured vets need. </li> <li>It wasn't a critique of Colin Kapaernick. </li>
</ul>
<p>It was posted by my neighbor who is constantly drunk and looking for an argument. </p>
<p>Memes that tap into your hurt feelings are looking for an argument, but not a constructive debatre. </p>
<p>Memes that say, "I bet you won't share this." are looking for an argument, not to further a cause, not to raise money for a charity. </p>
<p>It completely ignores the fact that Kapaernick's kneeling was about Treyvon Martin and other Black people murdered by bigots. Colin Kaepernick's kneeling is not an antiwar protest. </p>
<p>Misinformation is being removed from Facebook, which might help. </p>
<p>The other media source that intentionally divides people is Republican Party radio and Fox news.</p>
<p>They use:</p>
<p>Misinformation (Limbaugh denying COVID-19 and saying it was like the flu)</p>
<p>Scapegoating</p>
<p>-When FOX News ranteed on and on during the weeks mleading up to the midterms, about immigrants who are refugees from extreme poverty and painting them as thugs. </p>
<p>Encouraging Violence</p>
<p>-When Tucker Carlson makes an excuse for political violence done against people he disagrees with. Like his rationalization for Kyle Rittenhouse's shooting of non-violent Black Lives Matter protesters. </p>
<p>It is hard ti debate politics when the people you are talking to think murder is okay against political protesters. </p>
<p>MSNBC uses the script in less extreme ways against Republicans. </p>
<p>I like when MSNBC interviews progressives like Warren and Sanders. </p>
<p>But I hate their opinion pieces about Republicans that repeat an opinion for five minutes. </p>
<p>And when they slam Trump for being weak on military. They are partisanly encouraging war. Not because we need to be at war, but because they want the other party to look bad to voters. </p>
<p>When MSNBC does this, they sound like Republican partisans to me. I wish I could play the videos on both FOX and MSNBC for the opposing sides so they can see how they are being manipulated at specific times for specific reasons. </p>
<p>We are so divided in our information that most Republicans don't know that during the Capitol Hill riot Trump was watching it on TV, and didn't call in the National Guard. Republicans who are elected to office feel they need their president to win so badly so that the party ticket can win and carry them to victory. This forces them to put party over country and the world and be more likely to allow a bad decision by their president to go uncritiqued. </p>
<p>How do you have a debate when one side doesn't hold their leaders accountable for anything because they either don't want to do the intellectual work of understanding others. Or because people who own media have a vested interest in manipulating their emotions for partisan and or personal political gain.</p>

"Your Voice" by Paulette C Wolf
<p>Your Voice </p>
<p>by Paulette C. Wolf </p>
<p>Spider web or pressure cooker -- </p>
<p> Any other choice? </p>
<p>No matter where you go, there’s no interest in your voice. </p>
<p> They only want to see how you fit in their web -- </p>
<p> As you smile they’ll suck your blood until they’re well-fed. </p>
<p> If your faith gives you </p>
<p>a roof, hot water and bed, </p>
<p> be active in your space or you’ll be cooked to lead. </p>
<p> If the pressure cooker doesn’t get you, chemicals flood your innards, </p>
<p>or your own inactivity melts your words. </p>
<p> The only road to sanity is to begin </p>
<p> to hear your own voice and face your needs within. </p>
<p> Then direct that voice without </p>
<p>(no need to shout) </p>
<p> to meet the needs of others </p>
<p>from where you are not in doubt.</p>

Janis Ian Speaks Out on Being Blacklisted by convicted rapist bill cosby when she was 16 years old..
<p>Thank you all for the response to my "Cosby memory". Someone pointed out that by starting it with the New York Magazine link, people sharing it would only be able to share the link, not the text. So here it is again, with a different format. </p>
<p>The photos are of me, at 16, on the Smothers Brothers show. They're here so anyone sharing will be able to share the text as well. The link to the New York Magazine piece is http://nymag.com/thecut/2015/07/bill-cosbys-accusers-speak-out.html. And here's my memory: </p>
<p>Do I have a stake in this issue? Yes. Of course. Outside of being female, outside of knowing women aren't "heard" as loudly as men are heard, outside of firmly believing that if women were treated equally around the world, many if not all of the world's problems would no longer exist - outside of all that... I have a personal stake. </p>
<p>No, I was not sexually bothered by Bill Cosby. We met because he was curious about me. </p>
<p>My song "Society's Child" was climbing the charts and creating a great deal of controversy. The Smothers Brothers took a huge gamble and had me on their hit television show. I was just sixteen years old when we taped it. I'd been on the road for months, doing press and one-nighters. My chaperone/tour manager, a family friend six or seven years older than me, was doing everything in her power to make sure I was protected and getting as much rest as possible. </p>
<p>Remember. I was sixteen. Still in high school. Fairly naive, including about my own sexuality. For months on the road, my chaperone was the only consistent face I saw. Everyone else was a complete stranger - radio personalities, newspaper reporters, magazine photographers, audiences, promoters, disc jockeys, all strangers. So I clung to my chaperone. </p>
<p>We'd never been to a big-time TV taping. We had no idea we'd have to be inside from early early morning until whenever they called for me. There were only a couple of chairs for us on the set - I was pretty low on the totem pole, way lower than Jimmy Durante or Pat Paulsen or Mason Williams (all of whom were wonderful to us). And I was exhausted. I'd been having nightmares for weeks, the result of the controversy surrounding "Society's Child" and the death threats I was receiving daily. I needed to sleep. So I fell asleep in my chaperone's lap. She was earth motherly, I was scared. It was good to rest. </p>
<p>We taped the show. I had a ball. (You can see it on Youtube, in fact. That's me, looking scared, in the green dress. My friend Buffy from East Orange, where I'd started high school, made it for me. I treasured it.) Then we went back to New York, and I went back to school. </p>
<p>A while later, my manager called me into her office. "What happened at the Smothers Brothers show?!" I had no idea what she was talking about, and said so. "Well, no one else on TV is willing to have you on. Not out there, anyway." Why? I wondered. And was told that Cosby, seeing me asleep in the chaperone's lap, had made it his business to "warn" other shows that I wasn't "suitable family entertainment", was probably a lesbian, and shouldn't be on television. </p>
<p>Again, a reminder. I was 16. I'd never slept with a man, I'd never slept with a woman. Hell, I barely been kissed, and that in the middle of the summer camp sports area, next to the ping pong table. </p>
<p>Banned from TV. Unbelievable. Bless Johnny Carson and his producer Freddy de Cordova, one of the nicest men I've ever worked with, because they didn't listen. Or maybe they didn't give a damn. I don't know. I do know that they broke the barrier Cosby tried to create and left me with an open invite to The Tonight Show. </p>
<p>There's a lot to bother a sensible person about this. The years these women were ignored. The years they were derided. That the story finally really "broke" because a male comedian named Hannibal Buress kept bringing it up, kept calling Cosby a "rapist". Not because woman after woman after woman went to the police, to the press, to anyone who'd listen, with horribly similar stories. </p>
<p>Let me be snarky for a moment. Interesting that there are so few women of color in the New York Magazine photo. Interesting that the ones in the photo all appear to be light-skinned. Perhaps darker skinned women have not come forward yet? Perhaps they're among the other 12 women who've accused him but aren't pictured? </p>
<p>Or perhaps not. I have to wonder if this rapist has some issues with his own race. </p>
<p>Continuing the snarkiness, I find it horrifying that his wife is still insisting it was all consensual. That she sounds more upset by "the invasion of privacy" than the rapes. </p>
<p>People seem to be confused because she continues to stand by him. I have just two words for that - money, honey. According to the press, she's his manager, and has been for years. And his "business manager", eg the person who handles the money. So if there were pay-offs, she saw the checks. She is complicit. </p>
<p>If it was consensual, why pay anyone to be silent? </p>
<p>If it was consensual, why are there so many women who do not want money, who do not need fame, who are by turns ashamed, violated, exposed, vulnerable, and still continue to speak out? </p>
<p>Cosby was right in one thing. I am gay. Or bi, if you prefer, since I dearly loved the two men I lived with over the years. My tilt is toward women, though, and he was right about that. </p>
<p>But what an odd thing, that a black man who slept with so very many white women chose to take my possible lesbianism away from our one meeting, rather than the message I tried to get across with "Society's Child." How pathetic. How truly, truly pathetic. </p>

When They Came For the Immigrants (Who Can't Vote) ....
<p> </p>
<p>During the 2018 midterms the Republican party through Donald Trump, Lindsay Graham and FOX news and the Epoch Times. They ramped up scapegoating of immigrants, who conveniently can't vote. </p>
<p> The Epoch Times listed immigrant crimes which is similar to the way nazis published Jewish crimes. </p>
<p>Immigrants are no more dangerous than other people. It's manufactured opinion that is used to rile up people. Some of these people feel they need to run off with their guns wherever their corporate media elites tell them to. In this case gun lovers announced they would go to the border to "Protect" us from a caravan labled an invasion.</p>
<p>They only care about this subject because they are fed propaganda.</p>
<p> The Republican party, and it's presidential candidate, are scapegoating immigrants, who conveniently can't vote. I believe that this is a losing political strategy for the voting public. And the working class. I believe that the purpose of scapegoating immigrants is to make them more vulnerable to deportation and therefore easier to exploit.</p>
<p> When they say scapegoating, I mean that they are unfairly generalizing about their behavior by listing and reporting their crimes in order to make them more threatening in the voting and purchasing public's perception. This is similar to the way nazis published Jewish crimes. It's manufactured opinion that distorts public opinion of reality in order to benefit a small group of people's political and economic intrests. Some of these people are private prison owners.</p>
<p>CoreCivic, GEOgroup a nd the Corrections Corporation of America are the three biggest.</p>
<p> If you believe that when the corporate media scapegoats immigrants on cable tv and talk radio. they are looking for someone to blame so that they can have privately owned prisons that make people money.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> They allow people to be jailed for being immigrants. </p>
<p>Then I am concerned that you'd have allowed people to be jailed for being Jewish, just as our grandparents in the United States of America allowed Japanese Americans to be locked up, thankfully not killed. </p>
<p>All attacks against immigrants and people we can be convinced are unamerican, should be called out for what they really are, political and economic scapegoating. </p>
<p>These attacks are done so we can keep Immigrants desperate for jobs and easily exploited in the workplace. Immigration restrictions make immigrants more desperate and more willing to hire others to smuggle them. Some smugglers take advantage of their employers and hand them over to human traffickers. This benefits employers like Mar a Lago which employs immigrants. </p>

<p> </p>
<p> I believe that the solution to immigration depends on the source of the immigrants. </p>
<p>If we want the Communist comedian John Oliver sent back to England, we will have to enlarge the English television market. </p>
<p>If we want to discourage caravans we can look at why they are immigrating. </p>
<p>Are we causing it. </p>
<p>Is there oppression that is unbearable. </p>
<p>Can we help? </p>
<p>Can we afford to help? </p>
<p>Can we afford not to help? </p>
<p>How much can we tax Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Jared Kushner, George Soros, the Koch family the Waltons of Walmart and other multimillionaires without negatively affecting the economy. </p>
<p>I believe that some emergency kealth care for more vulnerable nations actually makes us safer. </p>
<p>Yes, we will immunize ourselves first, but sick people can't help themselves or others. </p>
<p>But immunizing the least fortunate keeps those people's countries'stable and reduces not just the spread of disease. But other after effects like immigration. </p>
<p>I believe that the solution does not come from deominizing any group, not even Republicans. </p>
<p>It comes from being aware of best practices and life saving technology and make sure it is used for the greatest good with reasonable efficiency. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Paid sick leave is necessary </p>
<p>To stop the spread of viruses </p>
<p>Viruses are really scary </p>
<p>Cause they mortally infect us. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome - 2(SARS-2) </p>
<p>Is caused by the COVID-19 virus, </p>
<p>Through the eyes mouth and nose </p>
<p>That's how they get themselves inside us, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It causes coughing, diarhea, fever, chills </p>
<p>and shortness of breath. </p>
<p>And if it overtakes your lungs, it can cause your death. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want COVID-19 testing for all bus drivers. </p>
<p>So that they can stay home and not spread it to the riders.</p>
<p>I want COVID 19 testing for all educators, </p>
<p>Sustitutes, assistants, therapists teachers and administrators.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Janitors, house cleaners, cooks and food servers </p>
<p>Should get the protection that they deserve.</p>
<p>The secretaries and receptionists - who greet us folks at the front desk, </p>
<p>Should get treated with our respect</p>
<p>And offered the Novel Coronavirus test. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want COVID-19 testing for police officers</p>
<p>Because they don't choose who they get to come into contact with.</p>
<p>They can't refuse to work with someone without a mask.</p>
<p>And many people in the public don't know if they are sick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And they don't know all the names of all the people that they come in contact with</p>
<p>They could contract COVID from contact with a suspect or a member of the public</p>
<p>All the people served and protected, saved and arrested</p>
<p>Have not been contact traced or COVID19 tested</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everyone who works in crowds put on your mask and get tested</p>
<p>If your job places your health at risk go out and get your self tested.</p>
<p>Protesters, shoppers, hobbyists, panhandlers</p>
<p>Go wash your hands and follow health reminders.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want COVID-19 testing for airline pilots, </p>
<p>So that they can know if they are spreading the coronavirus</p>
<p>around the world. in the crowded planes</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want COVID-19 testing for </p>
<p>EMTs </p>
<p>Because everybody needs the expertise of EMTs </p>
<p>ambulance drivers, doctors and nurses, physician's assistants </p>
<p>So they can know if they got COVID-19 from their patients. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want COVID-19 testing for doctors & dentists </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want COVID-19 testing for grocery clerks </p>
<p>So that they can know that it is safe to go to work </p>
<p>I want COVID-19 testing for prison guards </p>
<p>I want COVID-19 testing for prisoners in crowded cells </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want COVID-19 testing for nurses </p>
<p>I hope that COVID-19 testing flattens and reverses the curve</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want COVID-19 testing for all prisoners. </p>
<p>I want them to get treatment and be survivors </p>
<p>I want the sick people to quarantine </p>
<p>I want medical supplies at the scene </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yo quiero las pruebas para COVID-19 </p>
<p>para todos en todas partes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In February 2020 </p>
<p>I felt so bad that I took three days of sick leave </p>
<p>I knew i was too sick to leave the house </p>
<p>And concerned that I might be contagious </p>
<p>I had a fever, labored breathing, achy limbs </p>
<p>And my throat was coughing just like my student was coughing </p>
<p>+7 </p>
<p>When I felt a whole lot better, I got myself tested for Coronavirus, </p>
<p>I had to drive 20 minutes to take a test in Puyallup . </p>
<p>There were people in lab coats in a drive thru tent </p>
<p>I waited my turn and then pulled up </p>
<p>They stuck a long cotton swab up my nose </p>
<p>And told me in three days I would know </p>
<p>I Was told a few days later that I didn't get the coronavirus </p>
<p>I felt relieved I wasn't spreading something so catchy and deadly </p>
<p>I wished that others could get testing cuz if we're healthy then were ready </p>
<p>To go back to work . </p>
<p>If we can avoid something deadly </p>
<p>By knowing where the Coronavirus is spreading </p>
<p>Then maybe we can get back to work safely and reboot the economy. </p>
<p>It was paid for by my insurance </p>

<p>He'll throw you under the bus.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Trump has cheated on all his wives (1)</p>
<p>Trump has cheated all his life.</p>
<p>Trump is a fraud who's been caught</p>
<p>Committing white collar crime.</p>
<p>In New York two times.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Trumps steal from charities</p>
<p>That share their name for their own needs,</p>
<p>They the funds to pay legal fees</p>
<p>Cuz they're the ones in need,</p>
<p>Yeah they're the ones in need.</p>

<p>In order to make himself a quick buck </p>
<p>He can't be trusted, he's bad luck </p>
<p>He'll throw you under the bus.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I believe E Jean Carroll, Kristin Anderson and <br>Jessical Leeds, </p>
<p>When they say that DJT </p>
<p>Touched them Nonconsensually</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jessica Leeds was on a plane </p>
<p>And she was offered a better seat </p>
<p>She was excited to get the upgrade </p>
<p>Then she met DJT </p>
<p>In the adjoining seat </p>
<p>She talked to him while they ate dinner </p>
<p>Then he lost control of his hands </p>
<p>When he got his hands on her genitals </p>
<p>She went back to her original seat </p>
<p>That's where she decided to be</p>
<p>+14</p>
<p>A judge has ordered him to produce </p>
<p>DNA so they can prove. </p>
<p>If E Jean Carroll is telling the truth </p>
<p>When she says that he raped her </p>
<p>While buying furniture(2) </p>
<p>+61</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When DJT was on a bus </p>
<p>With Billy Bush, he told us </p>
<p>That he went down on hard..like a bitch </p>
<p>I forced on her a kiss. </p>
<p>+20</p>
<p>Trump will put his hand on your cunt</p>
<p>Call you a bitch and try to steal a fuck</p>
<p>He can't be trusted, He's bad luck</p>
<p>Put an unwanted kiss upon your lips</p>
<p>And then he'll throw you under the bus,</p>
<p>Trump will steal the nations most secret documents</p>
<p>He thought that he could keep because he was president</p>
<p>But was he really going to keep them a secret</p>
<p>Or was he gonna go call up Vlad</p>
<p>And tell him what he had.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Trump has friends who are like him</p>
<p>Greedy men who pimp and pimp</p>
<p>He said that Epstein was a great guy</p>
<p>Who like beautiful women</p>
<p>Almost as much as him+1</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maria Farmer went to the FBI </p>
<p>In 1996 to report Epstein's crimes <br>She said, "They were so dismissive that I just fealt daunted and I stopped." </p>
<p>As they brushed her complaint aside. </p>
<p>Maxwell threatened her life. </p>
<p>And Epstein continued his crimes. </p>
<p>+10</p>
<p>If you are in the nightclub </p>
<p>And you got pussy a to grab </p>
<p>He'll tell Billy Bush So that they can laugh </p>
<p>As they get off the bus.</p>

<p>Joe Biden is a decent man</p>
<p>Who doesn't associate with the Klan</p>

Promoting Substitutes to be equals in pay or training Is essential students getting the education and care they need.
<p> </p>
<p>I have observed over 12 years of experience as an assistant teacher including five as a substitute,. The titles I have held in Seattle Public Schools are Special Education Assistant and Instructional Assistant. In Ithaca New York I also worked as a substitute teacher in the 1990's as well.</p>
<p>I have determined that the more profound a student’s disability, the more likely they will be working with a substitute instead of a certified teacher or permanent staff. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>For a year and a half I worked in a classroom with a student who can’t walk more than a few feet without a walker. They were served by multiple substitutes for over a year. This student has been pushed to the floor by another student, In that situation I caught her quick enough to keep her head from hitting the floor. </p>
<p>+23</p>
<p>The substitutes who worked with this student for over a year and a half did not have a key to the building even though the student’s class is in a portable and the main building door is sometimes locked. This student's needs were under-served because of the Seattle Public School District's policy of treating substitutes, especially special education assistants, as less valuable employees. </p>
<p>During the 2015 school year I watched a series of subs work with two students with profound needs. Both students were transferred to Louisa Boren STEM from different schools with one-on-ones assigned to them. At the start of the next school year each of the permanent assistants assigned to work as their one-on-ones were no longer working in that classroom because they had transferred to other jobs. </p>
<p>For about half the school year the special education department refused to hire replacements and insisted on overriding the IEP's of both students, because they thought there was too much staff in the room. Both of these students needed constant adult supervision and one required regular hygienic care. For half the year the staff assigned to them were substitutes who would work a few days and quit because these students demanded so much of their energy and time. A meeting finally happened where the two positions were merged into one 1 on 1 job. </p>
<p>You would hope that people with the most profound disabilities would get the the most professional help in school, in reality, they get short term substitutes. They get short term substitutes not because someone is home sick, but because the Seattle Public School District Special Education Department and the State of Washington won't hire a permanent staff person for the most profoundly impacted students. I want a good substitute who has experience when a position can't be filled. But in reality these students need a trained employee working in my place, not a sub.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are retired teachers and therapists willing to work as subs for Special Education Assistants and teachers. But Seattle Public Schools limits how many days retirees are allowed to work. So many days, classes are staffed with new substitutes instead of our experienced retiree subs. This means that classroom staff are required to train the sub on the fly. This takes time and therefore costs money. I know we need to be cost efficient, and so I am pointing out that an experienced sub is more cost efficient because they don't need to be shown how to do the job at the same time they are doing the job. </p>
<p>Sometimes this training is from an assistant teacher, not a certified teacher. If someone is subbing in the certified teacher role. This means that our assistants are doing a teachers job form an assistants pay. So the situation is also economically unjust.</p>
<p>The state does not agree with me that substitutes are valuable enough to be trained, so they have this policy.</p>
<p>“Substitute paraeducators are not required to meet the requirements of the Paraeducator Certificate Program.” </p>
<p>https://eln.seattleschools.org/paracertandfcsintro/#/lessons/QdKa1uRmw26LfQHtEsREdcuGHPqYBH28 FAQ Quoted 12/22/2020.</p>
<p>This means that our students are served by substitutes who are not even trained in the Paraeducator Certificate Program. This means that we are sending inexperienced or less experienced and undertrained assistants to work with our most vulnerable students when there is a need for a substitute. </p>

Unequal Access to Education in the USA
<p>School Law Research Paper </p>
<p>Greg Spence Wolf </p>
<p>Unequal Access to Education in the USA </p>
<p>August 26, 2017 </p>
<p>City University -Tacoma </p>
<p>Alt Routes to Certification </p>
<p>EDU 321 School Law for Teachers </p>
<p>Professor Thom Dramer </p>
<p>Abstract </p>
<p>Unequal Access to Education in the United States of America </p>
<p>Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution grants Congress the power to collect taxes provide for the general Welfare of the United States. </p>
<p>Therefore funding education through taxes is constitutional. </p>
<p>Amendment 14, Article 1 of the US constitution states, “nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” </p>
<p>Therefore denying equal access to education is unconstitutional. </p>
<p>Not all Americans have enjoyed equal protection under the law or equal access to education. This paper focuses on two cases that set major precedents that influenced the law and future court decisions for decades. One ruling Plessy vs Ferguson denied equality to African-Americans and set a precedent that discrimination was allowed by law. </p>
<p>The later decision, Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka Kansas reversed this flawed decision previous case and established the precedent that discrimination is not legal in the USA. </p>
<p>“Segregated public schools are not equal and cannot be made equal.”1 was the opinion of the Supreme court on May 17, 1954 when they decided unanimously on Brown vs The Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas to forbid school segregation in the United States. </p>
<p>This case came from five groups of plaintiffs from the States of Kansas, South Carolina, Virginia, Delaware and the District of Columbia. They were represented by the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund. 2(http://www.naacpldf.org/case/brown-v-board-education). </p>
<p>In the ruling Chief Justice Earl Warren pointed out that: “Education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments.” It is a principal instrument in awakening the child to cultural values, in preparing him for later professional training, and in helping him to adjust normally to his environment.”3 </p>
<p>In the court's opinion “Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken </p>
<p>to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms.” </p>
<p>He concluded with a question: </p>
<p>“Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities?” </p>
<p>And an answer: </p>
<p>“We believe that it does.”4 </p>
<p>Summary of the five cases: </p>
<p>Brown v. Board of Education: </p>
<p>“The plaintiffs were Negro children of elementary school age residing in Topeka. They brought this action,” because “of a Kansas statute which,” permitted “cities of more than 15,000 population to maintain separate school facilities for negro and white students.” 5. So, “The Topeka Board of Education elected to establish segregated elementary schools. The three-judge District Court, convened” and 6(28 U.S.C. §§ 2281 and 2284), </p>
<p>found that segregation in public education has a detrimental effect upon Negro children, but denied relief on the ground that the Negro and white schools were substantially equal with respect to buildings, transportation, curricula, and educational qualifications of teachers.”7 </p>
<p>Briggs v. Elliott: </p>
<p>The plaintiffs were Negro children of both elementary and high school age. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of South Carolina found that the Negro schools were inferior to the white schools, and ordered the defendants to begin immediately to equalize the facilities. But the court sustained the validity of the contested provisions and denied the plaintiffs admission to the white schools during the equalization program. 8. This Court vacated the District Court's judgment and remanded the case for the purpose of obtaining the court's views on a report filed by the defendants concerning the progress made in the equalization program.” 9 </p>
<p>Davis v. County School Board: </p>
<p>“The plaintiffs were Negro children of high school age residing in Prince Edward County. They brought this action” because, “of provisions in the state constitution and statutory code which require the segregation of Negroes and whites in public schools. The three-judge District Court, convene,d” an, “denied the requested relief. The court found the Negro school inferior in physical plant, curricula, and transportation, and ordered the defendants forthwith to provide substantially equal curricula and transportation and to proceed with all reasonable diligence and dispatch to remove the inequality in physical plant. But, as in the South Carolina case, the court sustained the validity of the contested provisions and denied the plaintiffs admission to the white schools during the equalization program.10 10(103 F.Supp. 337.) </p>
<p>Gebhart v. Belto: </p>
<p>“The plaintiffs were Negro children of both elementary and high school age. They brought this action in the Delaware Court of Chancery,” because “of provisions in the state constitution and statutory code which require the segregation of Negroes and whites in public schools. 11 </p>
<p>The Chancellor gave judgment for the plaintiffs and ordered their immediate admission to schools previously attended only by white children, on the ground that the Negro schools were inferior with respect to teacher training, pupil-teacher ratio, extracurricular activities, physical plant, and time and distance involved in travel. 12(87 A.2d 862.) The Chancellor also found that segregation itself results in an inferior education for Negro children, but did not rest his decision on that ground. The Chancellor's decree was affirmed by the Supreme Court of Delaware, which intimated, however, that the defendants might be able to obtain a modification of the decree after equalization of the Negro and white schools had been accomplished. The defendants, contending only that the Delaware courts had erred in ordering the immediate admission of the Negro plaintiffs to the white schools, applied to this Court for certiorari. The writ was granted, 12 </p>
<p>These decisions reversed Plessy v. Ferguson which was decided on On May 19, 1896 by the Supreme Court. In that case they ruled on a Louisiana law that required separate railway cars for blacks and whites. “In 1892, Homer A. Plessy, a man with one-eighth Negro blood who lived in New Orleans challenged that city's right to segregate public transportation by riding in a Whites Only rail car. The Louisiana state courts ruled against Plessy, and his subsequent appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court was denied in 1896.13 Justice Henry Billings Brown wrote the decision. He conceded that the 14th Amendment intended to establish absolute equality for the races before the law. Then he claimed: </p>
<p>It could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based upon color </p>
<p>or to enforce social, as distinguished from political equality </p>
<p>or a commingling of the two races unsatisfactory to either." </p>
<p>In my opinion Billings is saying that 'white people have the privilege to deny </p>
<p>black people their rights if they find it unsatisfactory.'14 </p>
<p>The Legal Defense Fund's victory in 1954 did not end segregation or the Supreme Court's involvement in the issue. In Griffin v. County School Bd. of Prince Edward County, the Supreme Court gave relief to the plaintiffs when Prince Edward School District school tried to evade the Warren Court's decision by sending white kids to private schools that discriminated. The court ruled that, “the closing of the Prince Edward County public schools while at the same time giving tuition grants and tax concessions to assist white children in private segregated schools denied petitioners the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment.”15 </p>
<p>When asked by Justice Felix Frankfurter during the argument what he meant by "equal," Thurgood Marshall replied, "Equal means getting the same thing, at the same time, and in the same place."16 </p>

Sunday, October 7, 2035 introducing Leo Pumalynx Gatoliger The Electric Kitty Cat From Outer Space
<p>Sunday, October 7, 2035 </p>
<p>If her were played by a famous actor it would be: Michael J Fox <br>Leon Pumalynx Gatoliger. King of the concrete jungle. Leon was born on Leontine, an abandoned artificial space station that was built around the Leonardo Asteroid, 987,654,321 years ago. He has retractable steel claws, He is two feet long, has four legs, eats liquid metal solutions and fiber and other metal based life forms. He doesn't personally. He is a scrapatarian. <br>His microchips help him adapt by 3D printing microscopic mechanical cells to build his replacement parts. He also 3D prints parts for the ship. Mostly paint. <br>He is very agile and can crawl into small places. He doesn't have fingers so he uses voice commands on computers, which requires him to memorize hundreds of verbal shortcuts. When doing repairs he uses a claw modified multitool. <br> He could use the multitool to type, but he doesn't want to. <br>Born, or more accurately, reproductively manufactured on Leontine. <br>His species reproduced by being able to 3D print it's own brain and circuitry. The new brains would be hardwired with the newest data. These brains were usually installed when sensors detected a brain malfunction. But occasionally these brains would adapt by consuming light and assembling it's own 3d printing of parts <br><br>The LEOS were originally designed by the Gronigals to service their ships. Leon continuously is cleaning the Couth Lizzard. </p>
<p>If he could be a superhero, he would be Cool Cat. in the Amazing Creatures Universe on CPN. </p>
<p>When his planet was discovered by the Pan Planetia seven. The Leonites kept trying to ccommunicate with the ships, and not the animals. They rubbed up against them. ETC. </p>

Saturday, October 6, 2035 Introducing "Dr Scorpious - Half Dr, Half alchemist - All Scorpion"
<p>Saturday, October 6, 2035 Unassigned Homework<br>Healer doctor - fixes bodies (Scorpius) (Doctor Grumpy) <br>If he were played by a Hollywood Actor it would be Lewis Black <br>Six legs, three toes each, each toe is a stinger that can inject chemicals into the ground, plants, machinery and if necessary an animal's skin. <br>Originally Scorpionites developped these chemicals for self defense. Chemicals that can numb animals, but each gland ejects a different chemical. <br>Eighteen different injectors that are also influenced by diet. Scorpionites developed intelligent digestion. Literally their brains grew in their stomachs instead of their head and can intelligently digest and synthesize chemicals. <br>Their tail has a thumper that also at birth is a sharp knife. It dulls over time. But grows harder. The thumpers drove away threats. <br>Scorpionites are 5-8 inches long and they build planned gardens as their habitat. Their habitat is more alive than inert. In order to eat they sample and digest foods all day formulating fertilizers needed for their crops. They also used their crops to produce oil to power the heat in their environment. Each living pod completely reused or traded it's own waste for survival. This closed loop enabled their species to survive and evolve on the abandoned Gronigal World. 3.14159265359 <br> </p>

Thursday, October 4, 2035 "Writing a Song with Guest Lecturer Susan Cracker"
<p>Thursday, October 4, 2035 <br>Learning Target: Write a song together <br>Prompt: Provided by guest lecturer/singer/songwriter and veterinarian Dr Susan Cracker. <br> Today who works as a Dr of Veterinary Medicine who works at the VA hospital treating the service dogs. <br> Ms Stalter introduced her as Dr Susan Cracker, a veterinarian who was also a songwriter. She has found a very helpful way to combine the two." </p>
<p>Ms Cracker said: <br> "I never would have made it through college if I wasn't also a songwriter. For two reasons, I paid my college bills with money I made as a singer, and I used poetry and songwriting as a method to memorize all the data I needed for my tests. <br> Then Dr Cracker strapped her guitar around her back and said, "How are you all doing today?" <br> About five people said "good." <br> She then said, "Sounds like a few of you are good. I bet the rest of you are awesome and were just too modest to admit it. I'm going to repeat the question and then I want all of you who are good to say "Good!" And all of you who are awesome to say "Awesome!" <br> "Here goes. How are you all doing today?" <br> We all said "Awesome" <br> Then Ms Cracker started playing this catchy blues riff. She said, "Raise your hand if you can tell me what kind of song I am playing." <br> She pointed to Jolene who said, "It's a blues song." <br> Then Ms Cracker said, "What is the name of this song?" <br> Barry raised his hand and said, "That same blues riff they use for any other blues song." <br> So she sang: <br> "I'm playing the blues, that same blues riff they use for any other blues song" </p>
<p> Ms Cracker then said, "Everyone repeat after me:" <br>"I'm singing the blues to <br>That same old blues riff they use for any other blues song/" </p>
<p> A few of us sang along. So she said, "These cliché twelve bar blues songs can be very repetitive, which makes them easy to learn quickly. So this time everyone can sing along." </p>
<p> She then said that it is repetitive this song could get very boring fast, So we need to write a few more lines. Raise your hand if you know why people sing the blues." <br> I raised my hand and said, "Because they are poor." <br> Maria said, "Because they are lonely." <br> Amar said, "Because they have been driven from their homes by war." </p>
<p> She then started singing again, <br>"I'm singing, because I'm lonely and poor, and I lost my home in the war. (now you all do it)" <br>Then a bunch of us sang along with her. <br>"I'm singing the blues because I am lonely and poor and I lost my home in the war."<br><br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/82476/89b501223f5fb602c649a45c980596a0cd32a064/original/image.jpg?0" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

<p>Repair people <br>-Gemona & Gemane Terranissimo. Male twins. They constantly argue while cooking, fixing stuff and playing games, but constantly use each other's ideas too. They are from the Geminista system which has two suns and two inhabited planets. </p>
<p>On Geminista, arguing is viewed as a dance rather than a fight. People argue together to exercise their brains, learn new knowledge and recreate their environment. You only lose an argument when you lose your arguing partner. <br>On Gemono people predict the future as a hobby. </p>
<p>Gemona and Gemone won a contest where they predicted the development of propulsion technology. They were 99.02% correct in their predictions. <br>They were nicknamed "The Rarely Wrong Team," because no one had predicted that accurately in the contest before.</p>

Saturday, September 29, 2035 - "Introducing Robin jay Finch - Pilot of the Couth Lizzard"
<p>Saturday, September 29, 2035 <br>Introducing My Third character: Robin Jay Finch.<br>Bird, pilot, athlete and singer. She likes to explore, play sports and instruments. She has memorized over a thousand songs in twelve different languages. She is more interested in experiencing things than building stuff like her friends at the University of Grizzlydom. Her friends call her a play-a-holic. She also likes to try out new gadgets and games. </p>
<p>She has visited every known inhabited planet in safe traveling distance within the rim of developed space known as Pan-Planetia by hiring herself out as either a pilot, translator or janitor. Her opinion is always, "Awesome." And can get herself out of sticky situations with diplomacy. </p>
<p>The wings of many ships in Pan-Planetia are designed to mimic the wings of a bird when a bird is piloting it. The bird uses either virtual reality goggles to fly, or her own eyes. Her visual skills were superb, and her ability to calculate when to move was advanced, almost as fast as a flight computer. This made her an awesome pilot for exploration and travel flights.</p>

<p>My perfect vacation would be flying through the solar system for a week. To get as close to the sun as you can without burning up. To land on the surface of all the planets and walk around in a space suit. To jump on the moon in its low gravity. <br>Then come back to Earth and show everyone my pictures. </p>
<p>I would also take samples of each planet's atmosphere, soil and rocks. I would give it to scientists to study. Maybe someday I could travel to another solar system. One with planets that have plants and animals kinda like earth. I could learn how living things adapt under different conditions.</p>

I like how he keeps predicting the future correctly in his column, but no one takes him seriously except the bad guy, Dastardly Dude, who then exploits his correct predictions to make millions of dollars. He then spends the money on illegal activities to make even more profit. <br>Dastardly Dude also spends money to publicly discredit Eroglik's work, even though he is using his data to plan his investments. </p>
<p>Eroglik says that his column is meant as a warning about what will happen if policymakers don't heed his predictions. But his warnings fall on deaf ears </p>

Tuesday, September 25, 2035 by Billy Boren's "Opinion Paragraph"
<p>Tuesday, September 25, 2035 <br>Language Arts Notes: Ms Stalter <br>Learning Target - Identify and write an opinion. <br>Opinion (Def) - A statement of belief that supports a particular course of action over another course. <br>To do: <br>Write an opinion <br>Write three sentences that support your opinion. <br>Write a conclusion. </p>
<p>Today is Talk Tuesday. So Ms Stalter asked us for examples of an opinion. </p>
<p>Karl raised his hand and said. "The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer" <br>Maria said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." <br>Michelle said, "Military intelligence is an oxymoron" <br>Barry said, "I hate carrots" <br>Chief said, "Hard work is the key to success." <br>Jamal raised his hand and said, "Wisdom comes from experience" <br>Kendra said, "I hate math" <br>Little Bear said "I love America" <br>Jolene raised her hand and said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." <br>Nanook said, "If you provide for others, others will provide for you." <br>I said, "Animals should be allowed to be free whenever possible." </p>
<p>Ms Stalter then said, "I am going to ask each of you a rhetorical question based on your statements." She picked up her notepad and started reading, </p>
<p>"Karl: Is being rich or poor a factor in whether you become richer or poorer? <br>"Maria: Why is it better to do something for your country rather than letting your country do something for you?" <br>"Michelle, Please define oxymoron and give specific examples of military intelligence being an oxymoron?" <br>"Barry: What do you hate about carrots?" <br>"Jamal: What experiences have brought you wisdom?" <br>"Kendra, Why do you hate math?" <br>"Little Bear: What do you love about America and what should be done to keep it a place that you love?" <br>"Jolene, Why people see beauty differently?" <br>"Nanook, Why do you believe others will provide for you if you provide for others." <br>"Billy, when is it possible for animals to be free and why should they be allowed to be free" </p>
<p> I think that animals should be allowed to be free whenever possible. I think that possible in this case means they are capable of surviving their normal lifespan and not upsetting the natural balance of the areas they live in. I believe that animals should be free because they have intelligence, feelings and because the domestication of animals has a larger detrimental environmental footprint than animals living in the wild. <br>I believe that these are all good reasons for animals to be free and that these factors should be considered when making decisions about animals freedom. I believe that setting captive wild animals is possible because there are wildlife refuges and natural park that they can live in. This is why I believe that animals should be allowed to be free whenever possible.<br> </p>

Introducing Ursula Suzana Galleta: Inventor, Ecologist and Pilot" by Billy Boren. Sunday, September 23, 2035
Ursala Suzana Galleta was developing a solar powered real time matter former that didn't require batteries. It is being funded by the State University of Grizzlydom for it's applications for flight and space travel. It's ability to adapt it's shape to it's situation make it highly efficient for navigation not so much for navigation and more important, planetary re-entry. <br><br>She has achieved a 99.9977 matter recovery rate on her real time simulations and tests, meaning her design was safe for reentry unoccupied remote control tests as the only power supply and regenerative shielding and navigation device. She has the intention of running occupied flight tests if all goes well.<br>Combining energy collection and matter rejuvenation in the same device would greatly reduce the mass of ships too.<br>Because it used solar radiation for energy in real time efficiently it had minimal global warming effect, meaning it would pass all planetary environmental treaties. <br>

Introducing Miguel Raton: Super Nerd, Inventor and Alien Mouse" Billy Boren's Blog - Saturday, September 22, 2035
<u>Saturday, September 22, 2035</u><br>I told Ms Stalter that I wanted to write a TV series about a space ship. And that I wanted to use recurring characters to tell my stories through. I wanted a show without a main star, but with a team. She reached into her filing cabinet, pulled out a laminated 8x11 piece of paper and told me to copy it and return it before the end of the day. It said this:<br> <br>Character Ensembles - <br>Create a setting <br>Create a group of characters<br>Give them traits that determine how they interact with each other.<br>Have them compliment each others strengths and weaknesses so that they can help each other.<br>Give them diverse character, physical, emotional and cultural traits.<br>Create a setting that they share<br>Create problems that are particular to each individual and ones that are faced by all characters.<br>Have them come together to solve a problem.<br><br><br>First character: Miguel Raton &3456 (Super smart nerd, can figure stuff out, efficient in the use of his time, very compassionate, hates to be told what to do. From Ratonista but lives on Ursa. <br><br>He was studying Regenerative tissue technologies based on molecular resynthesis with medical applications. He hoped that he could invent a machine that could portably regenerate any animals tissue, based on scans of the patient and stored knowledge of DNA, on do this all on the fly. This portable medical regenerator could save millions of lives throughout the quadrant. It was a very expensive technology too. To process the data and synthesize a cell you needed a computer over one foot tall. With zillions of chunks of code. Even simulations took a full day to run. An actual cell took three days to produce and a whole tree's worth of bio-matter to synthesize. Each live test to produce an inert single cell took three days. And each trial produced fascinating results. <br>

"Aga and the Little Grey Wolf" by Billy Boren. Friday, September 21, 2035
<br><br><u><b>Friday, September 21, 2035</b></u><br><br>Writing Prompt: "Freaky" Free Write Friday<br>110 word minimum.

The hunter set fire to their den in the hopes of driving out wolves and hunting them down. Her plan wasn't as successful as she hoped. Only the Alpha and his pregnant mate were in the den. The pregnant alpha female fled the attack. Dag, her mate, faced the hunter bravely, but was hit with a burning stick and the sword. The hunter took Dags life and cooked his meat. It was her first warm meal in 13 days.<br> The next day the hunter saw the pregnant female wolf and shot her arrow at the wolf. The wolf ran into a cave inhabited by a woman named Aga who fished. Fuga respected Aga's territory. And stayed out. <br><br> Later Aga, returned to her cave to sleep. She lied down to rest and landed on The pregnant Grey Wolf who barked and then ran out of the cave. <br> Aga then started a fire to cook the fish. the wolf feared the fire but craved the smell of the fish. She started singing and yelping. Aga wanted to ignore the wolf, but when she felt full, she threw the wolf a scrap. She devoured it. Then the wolf came close to Aga. Aga raised her torch. The wolf rolled over on her back. Aga set down the torch. The wolf approached her, and sat next to Aga. After about twenty minutes the wolf begins to licks Aga's leg. <br><br>The next day Fuga tries to kill the grey wolf and almost kills Aga. The grey wolf was afraid of Fuga, but felt loyalty to Aga and bit Fuga. Fuga cried "Uga. Ow Ooh!"<br><br>Aga cried, "Nuh" at the wolf and hit her hind quarters. The wolf let go. Fuga grabbed a burning stick from the fire and swung at Aga. It missed and Fuga burned herself and fell down unconscious in the snow. The snow cooled her burn. Two hours later she awoke very cold and angry. <br><br>Aga feared for her safety and had already fled south towards the sun. The gregy wolf followed her.

<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Today Mr Gonzalez took us for a walk around the outside of the building in science class. He told us to write down the name of every plant or animal that we see. This is an exercise in scientific observation. You walk by hundreds of different plants every day, Do you know what most of them are called, and more importantly do you understand the role each one plays in our ecosystem.</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Are the plants you see native and wild, or were they planted and or introduced by humans.</span></div>

<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Then he gave a three minute lecture on his behavioral expectations of the class while outside.</span></div>

<div> </div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">He then went on to ask random students in our class what the rules were. So I wrote them down as people talked.</span></div>

<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">At the back of the school is a storage shed is the worm composting bin.</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Mr Gonzalez took us there. He said, "We compost all of the school cafeteria's vegetable scraps there. Then the compost is taken to our Greenhouse where we grow native plants and vegetables. The school uses the vegetables grown in the greenhouse for our cooking classes." </span></div>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Mr Gonzalez cleared his throat and continued "Red worms turn food scraps and bedding into high quality compost suitable for use on house plants, seedlings or general garden use. The bedding is moistened brown leaves, shredded newspaper, cardboard or clean food shavings." </span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> "To maintain this system, simply bury the food scraps throughout the fully bedded bin. To bury your food scraps dig a hole in the bedding, put in food scraps and cover completely with clean bedding. A properly maintained worm bin should be nearly odorless. Flies may be controlled and bedding maintained by placing a sheet of plastic or cardboard on top of the bedding.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> "Every 9-12 months the partially finished compost and/or bedding should be moved to one side of the bin and left to age. New bedding is added to the empty side of the bin." </span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> "Then you bury food scraps only in the new bedding. Within 4-6 weeks the worms will move from the aging compost and populate the new bedding. The finished compost may now be harvested and the open space in the bin can be rebedded. Any large un-composted food scraps can be added back into the bin. </span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Worm bins can be kept outside or in a cool indoor space such as a basement or a garage. Outdoor worm bins should be located in a shady protected area. To keep your worms from freezing in winter, keep your bin fully bedded. Worm bins can also be insulated with bags of leaves or straw bales placed around and on top of the bin.</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Worm bins can also be made from recycled materials, wooden boxes, or other containers. All worm bins must have drainage holes in the bottom to drain excess liquid and a tight fitting lid to keep moisture in and pests out. Do not use treated wood of any kind. </span></div>

<br>Earth was seeded by the gronigals 200 quadrillion years ago. They sent magnetic poles that were designed to attract enough debris to form a molten core. <br>This process was expected to take 500,000 years. Or one Gronigal generation. <br><br>The hatching of Gronigal eggs required a consistent planetary temperature of -30. The crew needed to lay their eggs. That could not be achieved with conventional space vessels over that distance. At least not back then.<br>Magnetic poles were sent to terraform nearer planets.<br>The were the fastest objects that could travel that fast and travel really long distances.<br><br>And they could be cut with such precision that they in reality super computer chips that processed light, electricity, data, what ever you threw at them.<br><br>They were also designed to anchor to other magnetic poles, and then orbit them.</div>

Your attention to detail is admirable, and hopefully shows that you will remember the safety instructions I've given you as well as you remember the number 313. You are now going to be walking two laps and if you speak up again, I will call your parents and the office."</span></div>

<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> I didn't really say those things, I like school and don't want to get into trouble, but when he said that we only had 300 students, I did want to correct him. I'll just use Mrs Ho's quote for my reference.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In reality he then plugged his phone into an audio cable, and said over the class intercom, </span></div>

I made fun of myself. If you are going to make fun of someone, make it yourself." If you are going to make fun of somebody else, don't. Stop yourself before the words leave your lips."</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">If you make someone else in this classroom, there will be no warning, there will be immediate consequences.</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">He then added, "I am going to be very strict, consistent in my strictness and I am going to make my expectations clear, especially when they are not being met. If you are not sure of what my classroom expectations are, check the posters I have posted. Or memorize them as I repeat them You may get tired of hearing my expectations repeated, then again you might exceed them, and earn my praise instead. You may even earn my trust. If you earn my trust, and maintain it, you may gain more independence or at least won't hear so much from me. Think about it."</span></div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">books I read and other reliable sources. I give credit to all my sources. I take notes on what the teachers say. I also verify their statements on the internet. On the facing page I write my own summary based on their presentations.</span></div>

her.<br><br>The Artic Wolf saw a young boy<br>Standing waiting with his father<br>The boy noticed the wolf in the cage<br>And was curious about her. <br><br>Then the boy Billy Boren asked<br>"Is that a wolf inside your cage?"<br>Cissy said "Yes it is young man"<br>"What is his name?" Billy then asked.<br><br>"She's not a he, this wolf's a she," <br>"Sorry," he said, "That does sound lame <br>to assume that she was a he <br>I guess it does sound kind of lame."<br>She is beautiful all the same <br><br>"It's just that she has got no name,<br>An arctic wolf is not a pet<br>She is a wild animal<br>Who's been treated here by a vet."<br><br>My names Billy, this is my Dad<br>He took me to the doctor here."<br>My Dad just got a job nearby<br>So I'll go to school here this year" <br><br>His Dad said "I'm Jack Boren Mam"<br>She shook his hand and then replied,<br>"Cissy Jackson" pleased to meet you<br>Pleased to meet you Cissy, ''How do?''<br><br>Then Billy asked "Why is she here?"<br>Is she tracked by the government<br>Then Cissy said she's a patient<br>She was hurt in an accident <br><br>Billy asked her, "Where is she from?"<br>"Baffin Island" she then replies. <br>"Wow," Billy said, "from Canada?<br>That is a long long way to drive.<br><br>A Wolf with No Name<br><br>"What do you call her then?" he asked.<br>'"Good girl's" what I call her most<br>You should call your wild wolf Luna<br>Because wolves howl at the moon"<br><br>"I don't want to get too attached<br>And she is not my property,<br>So I didn't give her a name<br>Cause she does not belong to me" <br><br>"Is she going to Canada"<br>Or is Alaska now her home?"<br>"I haven't figured that out yet.<br>I can't afford to get her home."<br><br>If she's not going home today,<br>Then where is she going to stay?<br>Must she go back to the Arctic<br>Or could she stay here in the states?<br><br>I'm taking her to my folks home<br>They have a fenced in yard near Nome<br>She'll be safe and their yards secure<br>My grandpa housed (hunting/husky) dogs there<br><br>And then Billy looked at his Dad,<br>And asked him in a high pitched voice<br>"Could the Mahigan Indians<br>Give her a home on their reserve?"<br><br>"I suppose son" Boren replied<br>They have a Wolf carved on their gate<br>Wolves are native to this region<br>She can if they say it's okay."<br><br>And then Billy turned to Cissy<br>With an urgent look on his face<br>"Miss Jackson, you could call them up<br>Maybe they will give her a home."<br><br>"I've seen their wildlife reserve<br>And it is a beautiful place.<br>You don't have to take her so far<br>Alaska now could be her home." 83<br><br>"Mahigan Wildlife Reserve<br>Is the name they carved in the gate.<br>You can probably look that up<br>I'm sure it's on the web someplace."<br><br>As they ride the elevator<br>Cissy thanks them for their advice<br>As they exit Jack tells Cissy<br>I hope we meet again sometime 91<br><br>Cissy Dials the Phone and Drives 97<br><br>When Cissy gets inside her car<br>She tells her phone to do a "search"<br>"What would you like to search for Cis?"<br>The telephone says back to her.<br><br>She tells the phone to "search number"<br>"Who's number do you want to call?"<br>"I want you to search for and call<br>Mahigan Wildlife Preserve"<br><br>"The number is <a href="tel:907-555-6663">907-555-6663</a>"<br>"Would you like to call this number?"<br>"Yes please call it" replied Cissy.<br><br>"Speaker phone" she then commands,<br>It makes a high pitched tone then says, 92<br>"Hi this is Gary Wolfe speaking,<br>Mahigan Wildlife Preserve." 88<br><br>Then she looks at her phone and says.<br>"Hi my name is Cissy Jackson<br>I am hosting an arctic wolf<br>Who was hurt on Baffin Island<br><br>I've got no way to send her back"<br>Can you accept an animal<br>Who used to live in the wild,<br>Is that okay, is it legal?<br><br>"Yes we can" the cell phone replied <br>"I think that we can help you out.<br>And give your wolf a proper home<br>Can I ask you some questions first"<br><br>"Go ahead" she said to her phone <br>How is her health? He inquired<br>"She's vigorous, with one weak paw.<br>Which was injured and recovered <br><br>"Has she been domesticated?"<br>"No she hasn't, she's not my pet.<br>She was full grown when we rescued her,<br>After the accident."<br><br>She's only lived domestically<br>During the time she was treated </span></span>

Me and Bobby McGee with Steve Norris
Kazoo Notes<br>Over the last couple of years I have been practicing the kazoo. I have been incorporating it into my busking act and accompanying friends in live shows with this deliciously high brow instrument.<br><br>My friend Steve Norris likes to sing Kris Kristofferson's "Me and Bobby McGee" and have me do Janis Joplin's vocal parts on the kazoo.<br><br>On August 29, we performed it at the Couth Buzzard open mic. I hope you enjoy it.<br><a contents="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJupWo1hODE " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJupWo1hODE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJupWo1hODE </a> <br>I have been studying animation<br><br><br>Peace<br><br>Greg Spence Wolf

Music Updates - September 17
Dear Friends, <br><br>My friend Mary is coming al the way from Centralia to perform at The Couth Buzzard Espresso Bueno open mic on September 18. So me and Tera agreed to meet her there, hang out and perform. Mary is a poet. And she knows it (ba doom chuck)<br><br>I will be hosting the Couth Buzzard open mic the following week, Wednesday, September 25, 7-9:30 PM.<br><br>I uploaded a new track to my Bandcamp site. It is called "At First" and it is a sequel to my song, "You Put a Spell on Me" It isn't a new song, but it is newly available for download on Bandcamp.com.<br><br>Unlike many new Greg Spence Wolf songs, it doesn't have repeating chorus or a folky chord progression. Instead it is a brainstorm in rhyme. The subject is advice to myself on how to win over a girls heart. It was written 15 years ago. Since it took me 14 more years to find true love, I woudn't necessarily heed the advice of the song. But since I spent many hours crafting the song, I would appreciate if you gave it a listen.<br><br>Bandcamp is a great download site for musicians because the musician has much more control over the pricing of their songs than any other music site. And because there are no upfront fees for joining and making your music available for download. If you like the song, you can download it for free in exchange for your email address, and you can leave a tip for me through the Bandcamp website as well.<br><br><a data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://gregspencewolf.bandcamp.com/track/at-first" target="_blank">http://gregspencewolf.bandcamp.com/track/at-first</a><br><br><br>Video of the week:<br>If you aren't already a Deb Seymour fan, you probably will be after you here her perform.

<p>All my favorite music, Someone else refused it</p>
