I like seals better than I like sea lions and I would dearly love to just pet one and tell it, “I love you.” Of course, I doubt they would make very good house pets so perhaps I am barking up some kind of strange tree.
I hate to read about people having to suffer from cancer of any kind and I am terribly disturbed by what I consider an inescapable reality; the reality (My opinion only) that there is never going to be a cure for cancer as long as cancer is a multi-billion-dollar-a-year enterprise. There may be a long string of “Make You Feel Better” measures invented and implemented, but I believe those are only for the very rich and are only temporary measures designed to make cancer patients come back for more— and to part with more of their money.
I find the idea of 3-D printers to be fascinating. I am waiting for the machine that will diagnose physical ailments with more precision than any doctor could ever imagine and that can propose treatments that will actually cure things rather than creating a scheme to lie to folks and to keep them coming back again and again just for the sake of charging them for office calls and other so called services.
I am praying for the day to come in America when the government is more interested in serving the American People than in working for its own interests. Is that too much to ask in this age of supposed enlightenment? Why are we still in the dark ages of human relationships? Why can not compassion and empathy play a bigger role in our day to day existence? America would be a great canvas for such a picture to be painted on.
I am waiting for the day when the now obsolete immigrant-magnet called the Statue of Liberty can be replaced by a giant statue of President Trump, aren’t you?
You want to know what bugs me these days? I will tell you: It is the way that Public Broadcasting on the radio seems to be filled with the most mundane, mind-blowingly boring crap imagineable and the way that they seem to be ignoring the meatier issues of the day– things like “The country is going to hell in a handbasket and nobody is talking about it. The irritating factor for me in all this is that the operators of the radio stations actually expect for listeners to chip in and pay for their stuff….wonderfully sugar-encrusted fare as “The Children’s Hour” on a Sunday morning….and I cannot seem to find a single program discussing the political mess that we are in ……maybe this is just me and my perception– who knows — but I believe that we are in a deep shit situation in America right now.
I get all these discussions about how the world we are living in today is a world filled the divisions and racism. So what the fuck is new about that? My grandfather who was born in 1878 and who died in 1955 lived in the exact same kind of world that we are living in today. It amazes me how nothing has changed all that much since my Grandfather’s day and the shit goes on and on and on— and nothing ever seems to change. Have I gone senile or something?
This is my latest Raw Art painting done in acylic on canvas — and this is almost 100% accurate as you see it here:
