Other good political news: these crooks need to spend time in jail. Good on the sentencing judge.

What a tool. See pics and some verbiage below. The PG&E and CPUC execs around when the San Bruno explosion and natural gas plants being forced onto the state grid (unnecessarily) should be next. Happy 2015.

Sept. 14, 2014: "Wow!!! Did the guy from the cover of the Evil Empire album grow up or
what?! Just had to share the resemblance. Ex-Governor Republican Bob
McDonnell just found guilty of >>11 corruption charges<<.
And his wife of >>9<<. Bob was a member of the executive
committee of Republican Governors, and was ranked second most likely
Republican for vice presidential picks for GOP nominee Mitt Romney. (Not
too surprising I guess.) You know mid-term elections are coming up in
November. Don’t be fooled by marketing an old brand -- these are those
guys. Not totally surprised, but wow. These are those guys, and right
here one from the front of the album. http://abcnews.go.com/…/jury-virginia-gov-bob-mcdonn…/story…"

I've been thinking some about the Winter Solstice, the Mayan end of the 30,000-year-cycle on 12/21/12.

What if in fact the world did end? Even though this probably will not happen, to live consciously it is honest for us to take a bit of an inventory.

Am I happy with how I've lived my life? (Yesterday, I thought mostly yes, with some areas for improvement, as below.) Are there changes I would make?
Would I have tried to forgive those that were hostile or disappointing to me?
Would I spend more time with those I loved the most, telling them that, feeling that more?
Would I be happier, grateful for what I have, what I've experienced, the joy, the beauty in this world?

Maybe the answer is yes to all of the above.
So this time can serve as a point of rebirth for all of us. If we think about it.

Because somewhere along the line I realized I think maybe mankind deserves it. !
The way we are killing each other, killing the planet.
How selfish we are, and snotty to those around us. Petty, competitive. Why is this? Do we have to behave this way? (I say no, it greatly detracts and misdirects energy from the full-time celebration in which we could engage, the great multi-cultural, multi-rhythmic dance we can sustain here.)

Maybe God or the Great Universe is fed up, and will pull the rug out from under us.
Don't think I can say we could blame Him/Her/It.

But it probably won't happen. (Probably not! This time.)

Still we are finite on this ride.

It is a time to think, am I happy with how I've lived my life?
Hopefully most of us can say yes.

For the part of us that have a little worry, a little sadness....
This is the time to be present.
This is the time to be the person you want to be, that can die at peace, that can hope to every day be able to look yourself and the Universe in the eye and say, how beautiful, smiling, and thank you. Let's do that.
