The founding fathers are a great example of people who agreed on very little, except for a few big, important things. I've heard that there are reports that debates got so heated in the convention that people were throwing shoes at each other lol
Loved the video of you, Arjun. And I vote for you to do whatever you want with the beard.
What the 'founding fathers' agreed on was that states should not have the power to issue their own currency for internal exchange. This is what the Revolutionary War was fought for. But then, after it was won, the soldier were never paid their back wages because there wasn't enough gold-backed specie. However, they were foreclosed on their farms for nonpayment of back taxes. Hence, Shay's Rebellion. My article on it here: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/the-constitutional-convention-coup.
There should have been more shoes thrown, directly at the head of Hamilton, and San Francisco might have the ability to govern itself rather than deciding what color to paint the bus benches (or is that forbidden now too? ;-)
I was a little nervous when I read the byline but you came through with nuance and complexity, my sane friend. Great quotes from the comedian. Here in Santa Cruz, I saw the #metoo movement used to recall a black city council member for his homeless advocacy. I didn't actually agree with his policies, and told him why I wouldn't vote for him when he came at my door. But then the smear campaign against him was so ugly and contrived, I ended up being a key spokesperson defending him. The harassment complaint was a tearful public testimony, flanked by her daughters, by the woman tasked with closing down a homeless camp. At the site, he was questioning her about the promised hotel vouchers. She's now running for city council herself.
Thank you, Tereza! It was great that you stood up for that guy. Something similar happened here in SF against somebody I knew. I don’t know the truth but it felt like a smear campaign.
Glad you had a great birthday! And glad to hear that the Sane comedy show was packed with Sane Franciscans!!
Thanks for sharing your awesome videos. To the one from 5 years ago, I'd add, "Trust your gut if it says you'd rather reserve sex for a close, loving, mutually supportive and emotionally intimate relationship--that's OK too!"
The last two videos appeared to be the same campaign add for Mindy, was that intentional? Or did I miss something?
And finally, I'm totally with you on the value of interacting with people you don't agree with on everything. I've made many new friends that way, keep with my family members, and even hang on to old friends who sadly went the way of covidiocy.
Wow this is really strange! I keep refreshing the page and still it keeps showing Jason's video then Mindy's and then Mindy's again. Aaaack! My laptop is censoring Arjun and won't let me watch that one!! What did I do to deserve this?
Yes, the link works and Arjun's video is actually my favorite of the three! You are so talented and creative!! But still very mysterious why I don't see it in your post......
Should have known you were a fellow Pisces... 😉 Enjoyed reading about your evolution - I find stories such as yours both illuminating and encouraging; thank you for sharing.
No one was forced? Hmm a dear friend lost his long time job in special education because he had the spine to refuse. I was turned down for numerous jobs and was forced to turn jobs down because I refuse to poison myself. There are many thousands more in exactly that same position. People were ostracized for our principles. Well.. I stood as thousands of others stood on our principles and many of us have suffered dearly as a result. I was told I couldn't visit my dying Karate teacher of 36 years because of this madness. I have no love left for the people who perpetrated this evil and absolutely no respect.
Thank you sane for your work. I very much appreciate and enjoy it.
The irony of MeToo with respect to the casting couch, is that the accusers with the loudest bullhorns were the ones who'd made bank (by submitting to the predatory likes of schWeinstein), while those who had gigs/careers canceled for refusing to submit, were hardly heard from.

I have some shoes to throw at you
Cool video. You have an artistic flair my lady :) Well done.
I thought about watching it on mushrooms but i'm scared to.........................
Thank you!
By the way, the album genre was in the end called (by me) “tripadelica” so perhaps 🍄 might be fitting! ✨
Video is awesome! yes, my body, my choice!
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Yes, always.

Thanks for doing this article. Oh and I was just watching Natalie Wynn on ContraPoints on #metoo and vigilante justice: https://youtu.be/smQsfNw_7V4?si=bt6_YQakHqaFw77e.

Will watch that video!

Hi Marilyn, replying quickly to this bit, as I'm about to make dinner (I'll reply to the rest later)...
I see links to three different videos: one for Jason, one for Mindy, and one for Arjun... Hmm, that's weird you don't see them.
Wow this is really strange! I keep refreshing the page and still it keeps showing Jason's video then Mindy's and then Mindy's again. Aaaack! My laptop is censoring Arjun and won't let me watch that one!! What did I do to deserve this?
What the…?
Hopefully this works! https://youtu.be/G4Tue0vQw0c?si=mZy6JH-CVBponkzk

Arjun’s video is all Arjun’s conception and direction which I followed (though did the bulk of the editing because the script was so fun)!
I have a few in that category too. Some of them are slowly waking up tho’.
Trusting your gut… ✨👌🏾
Love it.
From the first, I was very clear that #VaxxMandateIsRape
I've never stepped back from that.
Great video!!
Funny how that hashtag never took off… right?
Thanks!✨🙏🏾
It would have if not for the censorship.
True!
Should have known you were a fellow Pisces... 😉 Enjoyed reading about your evolution - I find stories such as yours both illuminating and encouraging; thank you for sharing.
Sidebar? Great work on the vids! ☺️
Thanks, Stone! Is your birthday in March too?
Yep, last Sunday :-)
HBD (belated)!
Beautiful.
Thank you TB ✨🙏🏾

Be well.
It’s amazing how people don’t see how wrong it was. Sorry that you and so many of us were ostracized. 😕
❤️💜
well, Arjun is tres handsome with his beard and should leave it there!
and - that was an actually enjoyable political promo
Yes, it was Arjun’s concept. Totally hilarious! 😆
Thank you for saying that.

When mere allegations
are considered sufficient
grounds for establishing guilt;
when mere accusations
however ridiculous
are taken as ironclad proof
you'll find the court of mob justice
far too impatient to wait for the truth
in frenzied session
doing its best impression
of a crazed kangaroo on the loose.
