  2. In 1968, age 13, hitch hiked with my friends to the beach in Malibu all summer, a year later Charles Manson moved in down the street at Spahn Ranch, we still hitched everywhere until we got DLs. Different now, my high school has drive-bys at bus stops, and where my parents were born 100 years ago in Los Angeles, English is no longer the primary language and not safe for me to visit. Very different.

  3. Common Enemy Identity Politics is why the Woke Left and Hamas have teamed up. The "common enemy" is liberal democracy and enlightenment values.

  4. Get a bicycle, we rode 50 miles in a day, 1966, went from San Fernando Valley to Santa Monica Pier over Sepulveda Pass. I was only 11 years old. Grow some.

  5. I was also L.A., 60's, Charles Manson was down the street from my Jr. High but we didn't know it. We had anti-drug campaign called SOS (Stamp Out Stupidity) with posters at schools and speeches in the auditorium, we all laughed because we learned more about POT at those speeches then we knew in real life. We are the generation who set the policies that those born in 1995 had to live in. MY APOLOGIES to you, I am so, so SORRY.

  6. I worry that CBT is being used as a social sedative which blinds us to the real dangers in our World. CBT is produces a kind of entropy of emotion and drive when it should be about critical thinking, needs adjustment on that basis. It's the old story of how to cook a frog.
