One writer’s garbage is another writer’s inspiration — and one picture can generate a landfill of language . . . or a single memory you can share.

Who-done-it or what-is-it? – This write a story image means as much as you want it to.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Circle of Lies” Road signs
Excerpted from the satirical “Rabid Lemmings: The Musical” – these road signs evoke a state of mind that is not consistent with road safety; but is all too consistent with “I’m not taking my meds” drivers.
You’re not a victim; you’re a “complainant” – and if you persist: a “troublemaker.” Government has much more important things to worry about than people: policies.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Write a story” Pages
This book will also have “Write a story” pages: this page is one example where the reader is urged to “Write a story using as many of the elements on this page as you wish.” And how many time have we wished coming up with a story was this easy?
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Emerging Technologies” Bumper sticker
“Building the future of human existence on the vagaries of human nature.” With emerging technologies; there is no safety margin – because we don’t know what is safe. There is no remediation – because we may all be extinct. And there is no responsibility – because holding a scientific theory accountable is like enforcing an unsigned contract.
The safety of Emerging Technologies is not “an exact science” – it’s a gamble — and we’re putting more and more of our chips on the table.

The deck contains 44 cards: four “ZapJack” cards and forty mistakes. Print and cut out the playing cards – a page of card back images is included for double-sided printing.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Disposable Old Folks” Icons
“Everyone’s disposable” – except those who decide. It’s a motto that openly hides the truth: If it’s not you – you may be next. There are no lives greater than the Greater Good – except those who decide.
Like all predators: they go for the old, weak, and infirmed . . . first. The distant howling is getting closer.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “When Words Collide” Movie poster
It’s Social Science! It’s Documentary! It’s Socumentary!! Movie goers everywhere may remain unmoved by the incidents described in this wide-screen screamer – but watch out! With all the creeping COVID corruption you’ve swallowed — your next stimulus check may need to be with a defibrillator.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Equitable – Bigotry has a new name” Bumper sticker
Saying Equitable and Equality are the same; is like saying robbery with violence and honest labor are the same because they’re both seeking money to support their families. It’s your actions that define you — not your excuses for those actions. The prevalence of excuses without any responsibility or accountability is a hallmark of our Adolescent Society.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “must watch TV” #3
Pricking more balloons than are at a memorials for victims who should never have been killed — a scenic overlook on the sick state of our society.
