"There is a time for departure..."

truth in advertising bumper sticker...after listening to the so called "senior moment" which deprived senator J. Kennedy of his speech for a few seconds during a recorded comment it seems to me that when you have a government composed of elderly people you can expect such lapses...it is during the supposedly lucid moments which still spawn drival that concern me...in britan they are going to allow 16 year olds to vote...way before the maturation of the pre-frontal cortex...which will be worse people before they are ready or people who are past good judgement...i last voted when bill clinton was on the ballot...or was it jimmy carter...as usual the rather untalanted under-cover element which seeks to keep me "in the box" were waiting for me to engage in heinous crimes...such as throwing my garbage into a dumpster which was not mine and going into the restroom to pee...it is harassment and expected...once again a good resource for current information about russia is a youtube presentation by Caolan Robertson...he points out how corruption in ukraine was especially entrenched by the "mafia state" which is Russia...there is a good collection of art history documentaries presented by paul priestly (art history school) and if scandalous pictures are of interest to you "Egon Schiele's short scanalous life" is quite good and the art is very interesting... and if hand crafted boots are of interest to you (or not) i found this documentary to be especially engaging..."Making hand made boots from boar (pigs)" siroeno yosui by ken kataoka (32 minutes) take note of the begining footage of the boar hunters in japan near a large bamboo forest...we need to plant a lot more bamboo in this country...also there is a good documentary called "The worlds least problematic leather" by stridewise@ caswellbootco....this austrailian fellow says it is our patriotic duty to use wild hog leather to rid ourselves of these feral threats to the environment...he also documents all the problems that arise from trying to make this particular leather suitable for boots..Dr.Andrew Huberman has a good presentation about being in a positive mind-set for mental growth "How to enhance performance and learning by applying a GROWTH MINDSET" (1:42) well worth the time...a lex fridman interview with david heinemier hanson (DHH) (#474)who is a well known computer/code writer expert delves into a lot of non computer areas and he points out that his approach to his business life is to have balance....he works a 40 hour week and has hobbies and a family life...also an interview with "the primeagen" who is another renowned computer person reveals this guys battle with drugs, attention deficit disorder and pornography addiction to become a devoted family man and devout christian as well as a succesful businessman...he delves into the computer programing needed to keep youtube up and running...which is a master feat..."There is a time for departure even when there is no certain place to go."
