“You’re a hateful piece of crap.” “Mom, why do you say that?” “You came out the wrong hole.” “That’s vicious mom!” “Vicious pissious.”

The number one thing in the hippie era was to be at peace at home as well as abroad.  Peace through unity, example and solidarity.  Finding a universal acceptance to what is “cool”.

Groovy, clothes, hair as symbol of unisex defiance. Mild gender ratio tones.

Blurring of divisions–but see Black Panthers as an impact, political force. Nation of Islam another–Eldridge Cleaver’s Soul on Ice (1968) and Malcolm X. Affirmative action, molding the uniformed regiment by regimen[s].

Reagan rose as pagan leader who knew where to draw the line and lay down the law–even bombed Libya once Patti’s book was released.  Raising the speed limit, new clothes with designer labels, restaurants > Trump’s wheelhouse.

1980: Right Wing Reactionaries < Sex Pistols’ Steve Jones

2017: Sex Pistols’ Steve Jones < Donald J. Trump

Poem by John Rubens:

“Universal Dream”

Pansies poke pockets of celebration in the air

Splashing waves of gases with its own matter.

Hermann Hesse > Universal “Om”

HH: Come back to me.

MOTHER EARTH: Always.

HOWARD STERN/STEVE JONES: We’re two men seeking to normalize the human fart.

ME: I do it.

“Dogs do it.”

“Cows do it.”

“Boy, do they ever!”

WESTINGHOUSE NUCLEAR: We rarely do it.

“Wall Street is full of it.”

“Yeah, I hear they have an outie in Alabama.”

“An ‘outie’?”

“No morals says Jim Cramer.  I mean don’t think about securities other than as business models.”

“Don’t buy Enron?”

“Those clowns?”

Has #Trump turned on @nbc? Fictional @HowardStern: He’ll make the most of it [like I did. They think they can move to Siberia or Idaho and we won’t notice? #LouisianaFlood]. To him [Trump] it’s a game. @nfl, #DavidvsGoliath, “What would the #Aussies do? #PlayRugby.” @AllBlacks @BlackFerns @Penn State Women’s Rugby #NittanyLions https://johnrubens.wordpress.com/2018/11/15/to-trump-politics-is-a-game-no-more-than-davidandgoliath-or-the-nfl

My #brother-in-law said [you’re] a bunch of #savages. @JonesysJukebox What do you think of @HillaryClinton 2020? @EmanuelMacron @MittRomney for President. @omaniwww1 recipient of @ClintonFdn [that’s how I got to know #Oman thru questions about donation during campaign. #charity].

78-year-old man comes face-to-face with a bear—and punches it in the face.

“I had nothing in my hands, so… I just started slugging at the bear as hard as I could.”

@omaniwww1 I tweet with MBS or his agents/representatives/other and feel “I think I understand you, friend.” The end of the acknowledgements in my anti-novel #SkyscraperHeavens: “Hey cow!” I screamed out the window. She looked up at me with her big brown eyes. I returned her stare and thought to her in empathy, “I feel you.”

He was quite ahead of his time. One of my stodgy English Lit. profs from @UCSanDiego dissed him in class as a pop-author. He was willing, Michael Crichton, to pay for information. Then he passed away.
