A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Piano intro is similar to Great Gig In The Sky (my partner is hearing Isn’t It A Pity by George Harrison); while the groove part is reminiscent of parts of Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
Great, enchanting set! Whole family enjoying. Perfect for a slow-going morning, after spending the entire day out in the sun yesterday at Fort Totten park and pool.

It’s no wonder that black radicals have always felt that some of their best minds are purposefully kept behind bars. See George Jackson for just one, but an incandescent, example.
The fairly recent Attica film attested to what you witnessed, though I’d prefer to have seen more prisoner interviews and conversations.
Still need to read Heather Ann Thompson’s book. Saw her interviewed, along with a couple of former prisoners, and it was riveting.

Blood in the Water has been subject to bans in at least eight U.S. state prison systems, in Arizona,[3] Illinois,[4][5] New Hampshire,[6] New York,[7] North Carolina,[8] Ohio,[9] Texas,[10] and Virginia.[8] The author filed lawsuits against the state prison systems of Illinois and New York on account of the bans.[4][11][7] Thompson was represented in the New York case by Cardozo School of Law's Civil Rights Clinic and the New York Civil Liberties Union. The New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision lifted its ban in the face of legal pressure in August 2022.[12]

The more one ruminates on crime and punishment, prisons, and the preference for punitive rather than rehabilitative measures just sickens to no end. Relatively recent European/American history (of the past handful of centuries perhaps) reveals people to be too easily convinced that burglars, murderers, witches, etc must sadistically dealt with. No rational reasoning with contributing aspects of mental health issues, family trauma, financial precarity, the human right to basic access to food, shelter and clothing, etc.
In “The Dawn of Everything” Graeber introduces us to Kandiaronk, an Indigenous leader who debates French missionaries of the 17th century, who lays it out squarely in observance of the differences of the way each of their societies have been organized:
“I have spent six years reflecting on the state of European society and I still can’t think of a single way they act that’s not inhuman, and I genuinely think this can only be the case, as long as you stick to your distinctions of ‘mine’ and ‘thine’. I affirm that what you call money is the devil of devils; the tyrant of the French, the source of all evils; the bane of souls and slaughterhouse of the living.”
“For my own part, I find it hard to see how you could be much more miserable than you already are. What kind of human, what species of creature, must Europeans be, that they have to be forced to do good, and only refrain from evil because of fear of punishment?
You have observed that we lack judges. What is the reason for that? Well, we never bring lawsuits against one another. And why do we never bring lawsuits? Well, because we made a decision neither to accept or make use of money. And why do we refuse to allow money into our communities? The reason is this: we are determined not to have laws - because, since the world was a world, our ancestors have been able to live contentedly without them.”

Specifically I meant that it would have been even more effective to have seen more actual footage from the cameras documenting the situation as it was happening.
Gov Rockefeller and his fascist minion police force should have been tried for murder multiple times for that inhumane massacre.

But we did just have a little fun, at least I did…
At a four way corner one of those blue Porsche SUV-looking things that are spoiling our neighborhood comes to a stop. Driver has posh blue shades and looks comically like a Koch brother.
I push it, as usual (my kids are very accustomed to this tactic) by heading out to cross the street in front of him (cars almost always refrain from proceeding at the sight of kids going into the street). He makes the turn anyway. So I lean toward his window and say, “F- your car.” The refuge of a scoundrel of course is to attempt to berate a parent for improperly exposing kids to such commentary.
So the guy comes around the block and confronts me from his 80k mobile. I launch into a tirade about the illicit money he must have made to afford such a car. And that one most probably is involved with some kind of illegal activity, criminal doings, etc. “what kind of stealing do you do have to get such a ride?”
Smiles abound in the faces of a young Hispanic couple sitting on their stoop.
Sorry, folks. But these are the kinds of discussions/observations I want to hear more in public.
And damnit, if no one’s willing to oblige then I’m willing start the ball rolling.
Stop. Worshipping. The. Rich.
Rather, start implicating them.
I’d venture to submit that it’s the root cause of so much that contributes to this mess of society.

Hope you all enjoy the parks !

But it’s eminently readable and an inviting read. Just there’s so much incredible geographic, archeological, sociological, philosophical ground covered I found I could only read it in small spates.
I will finish it though.
Best of luck tonight! All human society began with cooperation and collaboration, not competitive and punitive acts.

1. Cannot afford them
2. Saved years to have them
3. There are ways to make money that are not linked to hurting people.
BUT I think cursing someone who doesn’t yield to pedestrians while safe in a car deserves a yelling.

"Behind every great fortune there is a crime." ― Honoré de Balzac
More folks need to ruminate on the veracity of that. And then find the courage to confront these, as St George Carlin called them, c-suckers.
One more for the road, and the defenders of the rich:
“Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are." ― Augustine of Hippo
