It is 4:30 Am and a man outside in the street is screaming bitter anguish at the world.  "It's not fair" he screams with a voice raw from screaming.  He stops and yells again.  I cannot make out the words.  No one responds.  Nobody hears.  He is all alone in the heart of the night.  So am I.

I saw a woman screaming

I saw a woman screaming in broken hearted agony, sitting on a bus bench with a back pack and a duffle bag. Everyone, including myself, just walked by and pretended not to see her. I walked across the street a half a block away and stood and listened to her for a while. It was very sad to hear her give vent to her loss and her torment.  I wish there was something I could have done, but there wasn't. I continued walking home.  Nobody cares about anybody in America any more.

 I saw a man asleep right on the sidewalk in the rain without a blanket.

 I saw the sun rise this morning and nobody noticed.

Grade School Bullying

Response to a facebook post on Grade School Bullying:

Grade School concept and environment inherently promotes bullying, ostracization, and works to destroy your family and social relationships BY DESIGN... This is a planned feature of grade school. Grade School concepts were invented in East Prussia in the 1880's - 1890's and were adopted by Thomas Dewey and American educators at the behest of the manufacturing industry. Grade school is not designed to make you a complete and fully functioning adult human. Grade school is designed to make you a factory slave. FACT. Additionally, it was the Grade School system that helped make NAZI philosophy so appealing to German citizens in the early 20th century.

Ants have Two Stomachs

I bought a children's book on insects figuring it would be enjoyable, easy reading, and I would probably learn something new anyway.  I did.   I learned that ants have two stomachs.  One is for digesting food for nutrition.  The other stomach is used to store food to share with other ants.


I told this fact to my friend Emi and she said, "Oh.  Ants are more advanced than humans."
