I can do things on my other computer but I cannot see the monitor because somebody was never taught how to listen just like most humans. I am almost blind and nobody in town has a clue about how the world functions in 2024. I learned how to write thanks to my PhD wife and her faculty when I was 50. I am autistic. I spoke like an academic at 12 and the bastards who officiated at bar mitzvah thought I was retarded. My father was well educated he knew the them wel. We called them The Wise Men of Chelm.

I grew up in Montreal. I grew up a ten minute walk from where Kamala grew up. I had a driver drive me to Montreal Thursday and my wife stayed home. She can no longer walk and I can longer see well enough to drive but we are rich beyond our imaginations "

ENOUGH IS A FEAST."

I really do love America. My wife was born at Vanderbilt's Hospital in the Heart of Darkness.

I loved living in Chicago North and South of the Midway.

Kamala grew up corner Cote des Neige and Cote Ste Catherine. I am for the first since 1964 I am Optimistic, I remember Obama Christmas Cards before he was a US Senator.

My wife interned at the lab school and I thought the University of Chicago's reputation was ill deserved in the time of Milton and Ayn and1993., 1992,2000 and in 2024 is Marx Brothers comedic.

It's Duck Soup.

Was driven to Montreal by a 17 year old and her mother. I knew 17 year old when she was in her mother's womb and learned everything I knew about them was wrong.

I can't understand consevative thinking. In Montreal Bernie is right of center aaat Kamala and Leonard old High School.

Race gender and religion are as ancient as volcano worship.

Healthcare ,education, and welfare and a free press are human rights not god granted or government privileges. Abortions are not a social issue. We pay doctors to practice medicine and philosophers to run Universities and HIGH SCHOOLS and HOSPITALS.

Michelle Obama ran the University of Chicago Hospitals she is another Humpty Dumpty but as John Ralston Saul says.

"We are judged by our actions not by our intentions" and the Obamas are wonderful people.;

Westmount High School is Martin Luther King's Dream.

Leonard Cohen wrote Democracy

An insightful essay about a very great poem. Indeed probably Shelley's greatest. As a a bit of a sonneteer myself I am appreciative of the fact that perhaps the greatest of Shelley's poems should be a sonnet. Surely there's something about the sonnet that brings out the best in all its practitioners!

It continually reaffirms the importance of discipline, and that no art is ever mere self-expression, but takes place within a tradition, where there is an intense and meaningful dialogue between the generations.

I am 76 and autistic. I grew up in Kamala's neighbourhood ten minutes walk from Cote des Neige and Cote Ste Catherine. When I first heard her speak I knew which ghetto she grew up in. It was n't Oakland. It was Montreal, Quebec , Canada and it ain't Toronto or Chicago.

I was born a male Jew in Montreal under the Padlock laws 1937-1957 that made me me a third class citizen. My wife was born in the Heart of Darkness the Capital of the Confederacy Nashville's Vanderbilt Hospital white it was already the Capital of the Confederacy after Woodrow the Fascist and white supremacist President University Chancellor.

I lived in Woodlawn Chicago and Barrack Obama is a hero in Quebec where our right wing government is to the left of Bernie Sanders. My wife loves Bernie . She went to the University of Chicago before Bernie when it had a Faculty of Education and wasn't run solely for profit.

What did John Ralston Saul former head of PEN International call Chicago in 1994 when we lived South out the Midway on page 21 of The Doubter's Companion Viking 1994.

A Dictionary of Aggressive Common Sense.

Page 60 Chicago, The Chicago School of Economics.:

As important to Contemporary philosophy as the scholars of Paris in the Middle Ages.

One computer is a radio and sound system and television the other a 1980s word processor and I can’t turn on my iphone.I just magically went incognito., I am autistic. I’ve been incognito for 80 years and I love it. I didn’t hang out with The Velvet Underground.

I can’t see my monitor on this device because the USA lives behind an electronic curtain and I live under the Verizon Five G Shitworks here in Quebec. and I cannot read my microsoft edge only google. My international Iphone sits in a stationary charger and doesn't need a friggin ioonic power source here in Quebec Fossil Fuels are banned after 2030 and you 'll love Kamala's High School. Leonard the Priest led the Country Band and when Leonard was three his family filmed everything in B+W and there was no television.

Westmount High School created the National Film Board of Canada and the Muppets and even CANADA itself.

Montana Slim (Wilf Carter) of Banff Alberta created Mother Mabelle and Hank Williams and Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson and Gene Autry sang the Original hit of Blueberry Hill and Hoagie Carmichael and His Pennsylvanians sang the Blues In Chicago. In 1899 Carmichael was born in Bloomington Indiana a Republican and Mark Twain was advocating revolution in Moscow and Washington. Twain was in my opinion far greater than Jonathan Swift as a satirist and as good as Orwell as a journalist and teacher. Twain was left of Bernie Sanders and Walter Disney was an ultraConservative Catholic like the Fascist Antonin the Inquisitor Scalia.

In Westmont High September will be no surprise . They love Kamala . They hate Trump. Westmount is America's Dream in 2024.

It still practises love and respect or as Jefferson wrote in 1820 The Ethics and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth but.

1. There is only one living race of hominid Homo Sapien

2. Gender is fluid not binary

3. Religion exists between only OUR personal SUBJECTIVE ears and behind our indocrinated eyes..

When I see Kamala Harris I see a Montreal Jewish Princess much like Professor Higgins of Shaw's Pygmalion with a Mother and Father who are both public intellectuals. Where is Donald Jasper Harris? Wikipedia says he is still in California and breathing and looking like a regular normal Jamaican immigrant. I remember August in Montreal when my sister was darker than Kamala and my mother could not stay in the sun for more than minutes. My Maternal and paternal grandparents were Orthodox. My father's family was Matriarchal my Mother's family Patriarchal and it worked. I remember the English and American Civil Wars they were the bloodiest wars in English History and everyone was KJV translation from the Greek and Latin a la John the Fascist Federalist and Humpty Dumpty Adams.

Adams Law library was only in Latin and Greek. He was a sophist and a traitor to the Declaration of Independence and the Prologue. He never conceded Jefferson's legitimacy or at least there is no empirical evidence.

In Quebec's meritocracy 70% new doctors for the last 25 years were considered female when Quebec was as undemocratic as the USA in 2024. Kamala graduated during the Reagan Dictatorship or as my Father called it the Fall of the American Empire.

My father loved America.

Mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein her husband wrote Ozymandias.

Wow I learned it in Jr High school in Montreal Quebec Canada where English is spoken by the privileged and now everyone who wants privilege must speak more than just Quebecois.

There will be no September surprise at Kamala's High School. EVERY loving parent wants Westmount for their children.,

Westmount practices love and respect for the Creator who made all men equal in Her eyes.
