Available Screenplay: As You Are Now (c) 2020
FADE IN:EXT. CEMETERY – DAYA hilly area filled with tombstones, mausoleums, and a small wall of crypts, this final resting place is pleasant and even though there is a road nearby, as well as a few houses, there are parts of the cemetery that seem private. Even though there is a truck and a van…

Things America Has That Europe Doesn’t
Goddess knows I am not a patriot. I’m not the type to fly the Stars & Stripes, I don’t play patriotic songs on national holidays, and 4th July 1776 did not mean a declaration of freedom for my ancestors. I enjoy life in the US, however, and I am not sure I would care to…

Stop Idolizing Colonizer Nations!
I have written about this before and I will keep writing about it until the practice has largely ended, if it ever does – idolization of European countries must end.

America’s Racist Police Part 2
There is a lot of bigotry within our nation’s police departments – this goes for fire depts as well – and I can’t help but wonder why. Is it because law enforcement sprang up from the slave patrols of yesteryear, or that it was usually the career choice of blue-collar boys who came from blue-collar…

Republicans Don’t Care if Children Die
Why are gun rights more important than children’s lives? Are Republicans truly that evil, vile, heartless, and self-centered? Conservative politicians and leaders care more about a centuries-old document, rich tax cheats, racist police who murder and bully civilians at large, and of course the military – because America has got to flex a lot of…

How The Wealthy Stop Affordable Housing
California, with its near-perfect weather – in the Southern half at least – and damnably high housing has the largest homeless population in the US: slightly more than 150,000 people. Even wonderful Texas and gorgeous Florida, the utopias of America, have a homeless population. There are homeless individuals and families in every state. Then why…
