Port cities live forever.

An ideal port is by the sea, symptoms on a railway line, stuff at the end and along major highways at the end of a river.

If a place is landlocked, generic without a river, and far from the sea, not even by a great lake, or just somewhere up high low or wherever, its hope of being well founded, eternal, is offered by the wonder of its airport.

Tolerance of others is heightened in port cities.  Port Cities and towns are naturally forced to be more civilized than the podunks.

According to John Loftin who wrote The Big Story about religions Mohammad and his band attacked and robbed travelers, businessmen on the Silk Road.  In my time the airport has become much much less civilized by two sets of people.  One set like Dave Burke who was a pimp and coke dealer lives in the company.  Dave had more to do with security changes on US airports than Osama Bin Ladin.

Dave shot people on the plane after getting caught stealing.

Now all was just made more general by 9/11, and the attack on the port of New York, the World Trade Centers, and the Pentagon.

I started reading Once a Fighter Pilot… by Jerry W. Cook, buy and was flooded with memories of early flights and my life on the airport.  Then I had some memories of sex.  Flying memories are simpler.

I'm grateful to all the pilots I flew with that let me fly the plane, asthma for I did a lot of hanging out.  Airplanes and motorcycles and boats and cars and even trucks have been a balance for me.  I haven't been making many new memories with them.

Mostly I've been thinking about how to govern, or create a government that works everywhere for everybody.  This is of course a pretty hard thing to come up with for people are not the same really.

Years ago I had some more lucid explanations about why all wars are over women.  The news out of Egypt reminds me of them now.  The need of a man for a wife, or wives is awfully significant as far as what happens politically in the world.  When I studied the Civil War of the US I developed my theory that all wars were over women.  It seems that the White Men owned both the White and the Black women in the South, and didn't want to give it up as either a reality or a prospect.

Overall most sane and sensible guys just want to go to work in the day, and come home for dinner, some TV, and do it again and again and again delighting in the sight of some leg.

I may be a leg man.

I wonder who I might get to adopt my plans and platforms, malady agendas and all so I can hide out in the shadows?  I'd rather just be anonymous and vote, than become a target.  Some people want to be a target.  I've got enough problems and few defenders.  I am aware I need to watch out about who I make into an enemy.  Still I'll make some no matter what good or bad I might do, or endorse.  I am sure that lurking in my philosophy and set of beliefs, there is some flaw.  However it could be that all my flaws are my personal business, and that all my public stances are true and correct.

John Edwards comes to mind.  Pretty damned flawed far as his personal life it would appear.  And what about Mark Sandford?  -whomever, governor of South Carolina.  What's up with that guy?  To disappear and be out of touch on a secret mission for messing around with a woman while sitting in office as the governor of a state seems childish behavior in the extreme.

Ben Franklin is the man, but even he has some blots on his actions as disloyal and selfishly amused when it comes to women.  Leastways he had the scientist thing to fall back on.  Bout all I've done is theorize that multiple universes will have a different constant for the speed of light, but otherwise all physics will be predictable according to what that constant dictated.

Reports to me indicate in a slow light speed universe less more stable elements, and in a fast constant universe more unstable elements.  This would make for me the impossibility of some other Bizzaroland like in Super Man, me.  It's like how when I consider reincarnation I can't see coming back on this planet if at all anywhere.

Still I do suspect I have an eternal soul, which I differentiate from whatever might a spirit be in physics like to me, without real individual identity.

I suppose this is why I suggest all experiment with readings from the Bible and I Ching at the same time.  Having done it I am just sometimes awestruck at the feeling of complete truth about shared time of us in a world real, and only touchable by the mind.  How can this be?  It doesn't make sense.  Finally I figure this one life is enough of a spiritual experience to be enough evidence of a spiritual experience to justify a call to God for something better.  Wars killings, maimings and all that torture, do they really have to be?  I could see selling pepperspray and the Transcendian Passport Citizenship package with the Flag and all together.  It crossed my mind when the Congresswoman was shot that things might have gone better if people had had pepperspray in their pockets.  These non lethal weapons are cheap and effective.  I'm interested in what the ICAO regulations are concerning them.  (International Civil Aviation Organization}.

I'm constantly thinking about how to make the perfect port.  My life in Manhattan on the island was fairly civilized.  It is one hell of a civilized port with a lot of incidents not so stellar, but pretty impressive far as civilization ideals is directed.  Some fine moments where if I was direct and spoke clearly the outcome was humorous and fun.  In particular I remember asking if the crowd to the doors on the subway car were going to let me on, or not, and they all backed up.

The ICAO as another of the invisible Specialized Agencies of the UN are from where our hopes for stability and progress have reason enough to spring.  It's the other parts and all of the UN that need some work.

-another somewhat confusing post lacking full unity of thought and resolution.  Watch me think.  Someday dead a summation by somebody else will be my biography.  Just pushing on as just another fool dreaming of perfection denied by a body of needs, a light bulb made for 17.5 amps, drawing lines on maps and burning 20 gallons an hour.  – not too bad really…Still too much to not accumulate debts.

…

Orange County still has a little airport.  In the somewhat recent past I was compelled to enter local politics, cialis and campaigned for a seat on the Airport Authority.  I was campaigning for an appointment to a seat.   Due to published writings in the paper since I drifted into living here in Carrboro, and Chapel Hill it was known I was appropriate for a seat.  The way things worked out was that those who were opposed to any airport anywhere in the county went to the Chancellor of UNCH, and got him to promise to kill the airport he had control of, and promise there would be no airport at all in Orange County.  This obviated the need for an Orange County Airport Authority, which had been authorized by the NC State Legislature.  Hence I didn't get a seat on the Orange County Airport Authority.

The situation and events is unique in the nation, if not the world.  It may be part of a trend.  I myself don't see it as a great trend.  I suppose I have long been somewhat in conflict with Academics, and Academic Institutions.  Far as evidence of the possibility of this trend is the fact that now the University of Rochester is the major employer in Rochester New York, as opposed to Kodak, or Xerox.  Obviously the major employer in a town will have a great deal of power over the politics and how money is spent by the governments.  In the case of Chapel Hill it is obvious that the University runs the place so much so as to make the Mayors of Chapel Hill, and Carrboro about useless.

I may be forced to run for Mayor of Carrboro, though maybe I am forced to run for County Commissioner.  It is my vision and beliefs about what makes for an eternal city that may force me to do what I have never had the courage to do, which is run for an elective office.  The reason for that is that I like to keep a few secrets about my private life and flaws.  I'll tell you what is great about me.  For one thing I've got the ability to rebound from beatings and losses with humor about it all.  I've got integrity at least for playing the game not cause I like the game, but it is a duty come out of a vision come out of experience and questions about what is really grand about life.

I'm proud of myself for fighting for what is really right regardless of the pain.  One shining battle was when I was beaten by three coked up assholes defending an X rated movie star from rape.  I was beaten so bad I saw double for three days.  Some said I was stupid for defending a low woman.  I said it was not for them to judge her for even if she did it for the camera and money, rape was not  right.

So I had some integrity there that came about to get me beat up without much time for me to do more than be my Boy Scout self.  There are areas where I am a Boy Scout gone wrong though.  I might make a pretty good Mason though, from what I can tell…

At anyrate round here I have an agenda that is intended to work on both the local scale of a small town, and the major scale I just call planet Earth.  Both places are home.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill used to have a Temporary Labor Service that gave work to people who simply lived around here.  There is a great deal of labor at the university that does not require higher learning to be accomplished.  It was also a way into a permanent regular secure job.  Actually no job is all that secure. Many smart University people were also let go at the time the Tar Heel temps was shut down.  I'd have put both and all out from an office at the airport anywhere in the world, instead of pandering to appearances.

There was a time when I went anywhere for work and was not particularly married to anywhere.  Home was where I was.  I didn't really have time to participate in the politics of where I might be simply to make a paycheck.  You do win militarily if you have speed and reach of your weapons that is superior to that of your adversaries, or competition.  A fast boat is better than a slow boat.  It is bad to be trapped and lost.  – Figure it out.  It is not good for major employers, especially Universities to throw people out of work and give them nowhere to go.  What the fuck are they really teaching over there, up there in the Ivory tower?  I really am sorry I didn't go to Harvard, but I'd probably fit in better if I got to teach at West Point.

Damn I want to have a Transcendian Bank, and Insurance Company.

Aint ever got a check from the Donate button on this site.  I do have a secret plan for what to do with money I might get if I win the lottery like Norm in the fiction section.

Anyway, to sum up here, locally if I had some money I'd put a temp service back together that worked to get people of all classes where they and their skills were needed and fit at the little airport the University runs now, into the ground.  If girls would dance for us naked in a classy strip joint to make the money to have a bank and insurance company able to rival the power of the in control academics, well, I suppose I'd have to protect them from harm.

I like a uniform, but wonder if I should run naked?

Yah know some say its all about real estate, but really its about women.  Wars happen over issues related to the interests of women who need a nest.  Yah gottah be able to bring home the bacon.  Helicopter pilot jobs are good because you get home most nights.

Anyway Labor Services don't have to be so narrow as to not employ all.  Yah need to have a labor hall at the port where the willing can show up, regardless of were they might end up.   

You fought for a seat on the IGX Airport Authority, capsule  What did you have in mind for it?

What would you have same for a Local Community Airport like IGX, clinic and an International Airport like EWR?

What experience to you have that qualifies you to make suggestions, decrees, or laws?

1.  I want it to work for all of the local classes.  Grand Central Station in Manhattan works for all.  You ought to know that ports live forever, and port  people know how to get along.  Protect and help the traveler.  Strangers are just friends you ain't met.

2.  Well, I'd like to have an office for Transcendians on every airport, seaport, or spaceport that was a fine hang out and where business could be done fairly without fear.  My cousin Kate is a great sociologists.  Place needs to work according to UN Human Rights accords that give women equal rights.

3.  I've lived in the rural South of the racist US, the isolated carport places of Suburbia, and in tough big ass cities like New York, and Chicago.  I went to public schools, and got scholarships, and I've read a lot.  Actually Rochdale College in Toronto had a lot of influence, for it was a unique nation.

The Engineers and Talent Party must popularize US and International Power Grid Securtity and capablity.  Power is the foundation for Civilization.

The present and future depends on integration of all power sources into the power grid.  It is the single most important infrastructure necessary for us to focus on.  The Transcendian airports must use the best power control techniques, canada pills systems, treat and equipment so as to provide great service and be always as much a destination as a port.

The job is Grand enough to give the US what it needs as far as paying work to overcome US political failures in many other areas.

The Enron Story tells us right now recently of how not to do it.

That experiment failed.

Things were better before deregulation of the Power industry, and what was good about the past must be reinstituted nationally and internationally by the US and its allies.

There are Engineers who know what to do to build, rebuild and sytematize the Power Grid to be capable of maintaining human life at it's maximum allowable population levels for the longest period possible.  Talent, like Actors and Directors and writers need to help explain to the people how this one bit of work needs to be done, and make sure money is spent on doing it.  I'm serious.  The Unions and Guilds necessary to making TV and Movies need to ally with the engineers and designers to get the work on the Power Grid underway, at the top of the Politicians minds to spend our money on.

I as leader and founder of Transcendia, the soul of Aerotropolis, have worked with many ideas over the years so as to make myself and my invention, as perfect a thought experiment as it is possible for a street educated working class guy can do.

I've done damn well, and now have advisors worth knowing who as pragmatists know all I missed from not going to a school like Harvard, I made up for through focused reading and a willingness to work hard.

They will take up with polish some of my deficiencies, because they know I'm simply right.

Becoming a motion picture grip and gaffer has filled a technical gap in my education, that amazingly enabled me to compete as a thinker with real engineers and scientists.

I perfectly fit as the demander of action for the people and the times.

I am even wonderfully sick and in need of very expensive medical care if I am to live.  I and my wife have great understanding of what is wrong with healthcare in the US.

In my particular case it is clear that there are too many hands in the pie.  There are a lot of people who ought to be doing something else.

No matter what the good and  bad of medical care anywhere may be.  Get and keep a GP, whenever and wherever you are, and you will be glad of it when you get sick.

If there is anyone to blame for the suffering and expense now required for me to live, it was the GP at the Doc in a Box I went to when pain had gotten too bad for me to stand up and walk anymore.  There is a lawsuit there.  But regardless, get a comitted General Practiconer.  

The American Automobile Association system ought to be applied to US healthcare.  For Transcendian citizens I'll be applying tax money to complete life insurance services and pooling the value of that along with whatever real assets We get on which to base the currency in the Transcendian Central Bank.  The Screen Actors Guild is notable for the work they do keeping track of their members work and making sure they get paid and their physical needs paid for.  Between their ways of operating and the way the American Automobile Association operates you have good systems to apply and worth spending national money on.

So here I have written that our party needs to push in the Commons for the Grand Power Grid, and how Transcendia is visualized as a party and a nation, to a certain extent, as far as I can go right now, in conjunction with many other letters.

Thanks for your interest.

I've gottah do a stand up formal speech sortah, ed for these times.

Transcendia has been around as concepts and work outs and some rare speeches and message rocket launches since the early eighties.  It came from Transcend-O-Ray the Aleph sort of vision I had.  That came out of a period of boredom and bliss when I was 20.  Since I was born in 1952, price I guess that was 1972?

The wonders of my life have been how to see people from outer space, medicine and how to prevent nuclear war, which I call Apocalyptic Riot now.

Physicists say my way to see people from outer space is not workable due to the coherence problem concerning photons and light where I wanted to put holograms on photons, but some girl somewhere is reported to have overcome briefly this problem.  For most all of it overcoming the constant speed of light in this universe is desirable, so what I think might be possible is to wormhole, Blackhole from one universe to another to speed video pictures like gravity slings for newtonian worlds is done with spaceships.

Sending round signals between the different universes utilizing the photons that can be same slowed or quickened in the different universes with different constants for the speed of light, will be a big trick.  I think if it can be done, it has been done, which means Faulkner was right about the past not even being past.  It also implies that one life is enough, miracle enough.

Anyway those are the fun thoughts.

The not so fun thoughts are how to keep our stupid asses from blowing us all up to death.

My belief is that to do that we need to make a nation of airports called Transcendia.

Transcendia, is a friend to yah!

The reason Transcendia would work to forestall Apocalyptic Riot, Big War, is Grand.  It is new.  It is old.

Fact is since the invention of the airplane anywhere land locked or not can create a great port.  Airports are particularly a zenith creation.   As well internationally airports exist that are culturally neutral.  Some women of wealth power and beauty can travel all over the world, and be about as safe as if they were in midtown Manhattan, or Paris, or London, Berlin, or Hong Kong.

Women have good ideas too, and they have businesses I might need to work for, and airplanes make the world small enough for right time personal contact.  It would be ideal if there was a nation of international airports under one flag, My Flag.

Are you following me here?

What We want to do is create a working world that lets everybody go where they want, man or woman to simply get things done that need to get done.

We, Humanity, are in deep shit.  Want me to say it another way?  We Humanity are in deep trouble!

We must get along or we will not get through this bottleneck and become a Big Time Species.

There are nuts and bolts of how this can be accomplished, and even the thoughts and policies made out of ideologies must be just real as anything made of steel.

One real and unreal thing for Transcendia to do is to create an insurance policy that gives labor parity with capital.

Then with valued lives I could get ahold of ports in countries and moderate economic conflicts advancing prosperity for all.

I had a girlfriend whose brother drank a beer when he was like 13 and by 15 was drinking a 6 pack in the morning before school.  He threw himself in front of a school bus and was killed.  His mother and father then wrecked a car and got divorced.  My girlfriend, bronchi his sister was taken by a rich neighbor lady who attempted to forcibly adopt her.  She apparently became a little Lolita.  I'd seen a school picture of her that about made me cry.  Not because she was tarted up or anything like that, sales but because in this picture she looked vulnerable and hurt.

At night in bed together sleeping she would wake me crying out her brother's name.

She had run away from her parents and the woman who wanted her to be her child, and lived on a boat with a pretty dutch junkie girl.  There are bits of her story I never quite got.  It did get to a point eventually where I said of her if I want to hear some lies, I just call her.

I had a Polish friend who drank a lot.  We worked together, and got a good deal done.  It was fun drinking.  He said it wasn't how much you drank, but what you did when you were drunk.

The writers joke is: Why do writers drink?  – Because it is something they can do when they are drunk.

Alcohol has its uses.  They don't call it "Spirits" for nothing.

When I was a kid the legal drinking age was 18.  I don't know what people really expect.  15, 16, 17 and kids in their separate world have parties with stuff supposedly reserved for wise old adults, who they suspect aren't really that smart.  I say you don't get wise 'cause you get old, but you get old because you were wise.

A Sunday School teacher who taught teenagers said, "What happens is these kids encounter adult problems for the first time, and sometimes it gets ugly."

Deal with these kids, young adults, long enough, and you lose some.  You lose them to suicide, murder, motorcycles, cars too fast too, and drugs.  It happens all around you everywhere you might live.  Its been going on long as I can remember.

Seems like every ten years like clockwork heroin is added to the mix of temptations, is available, and kids use it.  You wonder why, and what really to do about it that makes the most sense.  I hear over in England they just give it to the addicted.  Think the point being that some people can't quit, and it keeps the Mob out.

Apparently musicians are more prone to use heroin than say young engineers or accountants.  There have been some writers like William Burroughs, and a poet I knew that used heroin.  I hear that musicians like it because they can perform while on it, whereas they don't do so well on stage when drunk on alcohol.

Yah sometimes wonder if its worth it to have a certain type of job, a certain type of career, if you need a certain sort of drug to be and do that work?  Maybe yah oughta do something else.  Maybe Keith Richards was really meant to be a History professor?  Should Aretha Franklin been a pastry cook?  Was Billy Holliday going to be better destined to be a maid?

There is a lot of pain in this world.  We all have trouble bearing it.  The working people just get by with beer, and pot and cigarettes.  They are never rich enough to even start up the more expensive habits like cocaine or heroin during normal times.  Leastways that's the way it used to be before Crack.

People have a propensity towards what we call vices.  Up to a certain point they help us bear the pains of life.  Sometimes cigarettes and books in the dim light of dark nights of loneliness and poverty and isolation have been all the company I had.  I really was depressed and miserable even in my late thirties once due to a broken heart.  Things got better actually when I started drinking again.

I became employable again.

I did give up the motorcycle though.  It was incompatible with drinking.

Lucky me, Lucky world…

Sober all the time and I felt fierce, angry, and suicidal quite a lot of the time.  Too often I thought about jumping off a bridge with piano wire around my neck.  I think the world is better off for my flaws and vices that I am aware of.  I know I am imperfect, and lucky.  Probably I was just as lucky to be poor, as I might have been if I had been rich.

The Sociologists says that the really rich, and the really poor, think about money the same way.  Seems like their youth sure share the same world when it comes to the types of drugs they go for.

Thank you, clinic

Notes regarding this Checklist:  I discovered this Aircraft Cleaning Checklist in my bookcase piles of manuscripts and papers when looking for the best copies of books I wrote that now only exist on paper.  My plan was to send the manuscripts to HH to be properly typed, line edited, and prepped for on demand publishing.  – Did that.

The plan for that book is that it be so published that people will have to pay to read it.

So then I did my main work assignment, was thinking of  "Norm", my new assignment, and needed something prosaic to do in the meantime.  Force of Nature has been stalled because I didn't really want to write a sex scene.  I need to get back to Force of Nature.  I like what I've done so far of it.  Who knows maybe I'll be capable of that better than Norm today.  – I just wanted to be alone today.

It takes work to simply be alone.  I find I have to actually make decisions about when and how to be alone.  At least lately that is the case for me.

There have been times and eras of my life when being alone was a default situation.  I remember crushing loneliness during other eras of my life.

"Do not mistake being lonely for solitude."  quote BK.  is a quote I like.

So anyway I had reason to actually be flown to an event.  The event was tragic, sad, and serious.  It was unexpected and time was short for decisions and travel.  I know the value of flying, but had not been actually flying for a decade now.  The airport life that I loved is not commonly available anymore.  People are tearing up, or letting go of civilization.  We are supposed to advance and spread civilization.

If you want a taste of it, a meal of it, buy your own jet, and a hangar and runway for it…
