OPINION Editorial

Beyond the superficial A s civilized society evolves, perceived negative labels have become fundamental to organization and the divvying of resources, allocation of time and effort, etc. Too many seem to have become accustomed to and are comfortable with accepting these life-altering labels as justice for the greater good. These labels may describe extreme poverty (homeless, vagrant referring to homeless doing illegal activity); those with violent propensities (aggressive, gang member/gangaffiliated, domestic abuser); people who break any law, from drug use to theft to murder (criminal); those with unusual behavior (mental illness), et al. Such labels, however, oversimplify the human condition.

To address the so-called undesirable acts and behaviors, labeled people are offered programs and services that may be beneficial to some but not all or simply fail to produce long-lasting results for many others. When those in authority can’t get the outliers to complete classes or programs, the labels become more or less permanent and a sort of hopelessness sets in. Rather than choose to question the labels and treatment, it seems the status quo is harsher punishment, stricter programs, more pharmaceuticals and even institutionalization. We think we have found solutions that will apply to a handful of labels that fit everyone, but neither the solutions nor the labels address the complexity of the issues.

Take, for instance, the Oxnard gang injunction, which was deemed unconstitutional in 2018. It had a pretty low bar by which an individual would be labeled as gang affiliated: gang-related tattoos, attending gang-related gatherings, making gang-related gestures, associating with other known gang members. Now, imagine a tight knit community where family and friends blur the lines of those who appear gang related and those who are actually in gangs. The gang injunction court order limited a person’s freedom of expression and mobility in the community and possibly harmed future opportunities for work (should the gang injunction issue become known).

On Dec. 22, Oxnard Police Department announced that 362 people would be

released from their court-ordered gang injunction in the new year and so would be able to carry on with their “normal” lives. But how does one simply carry on after being labeled and limited for so long?

Oxnard’s gang injunction isn’t the only example of a possibly counterproductive label. It has been par for the course on the recent slaying of an officer by an undocumented/illegal immigrant.

With the arrest of Gustavo Perez Arriaga of Mexico for killing Cpl. Ronil Singh of Stanislaus County, up went the red flag for a problematic person worthy of deportation: an undocumented immigrant who had been arrested twice for driving under the influence. Because of California’s sanctuary law, the police were limited in their ability to work with ICE to deport him. Sheriff Adam Christianson referred to Arriaga as a “laborer” who worked at several dairies, noting that he had gang affiliations and multiple Facebook pages with different names. So to be clear: If an undocumented immigrant has worked as a laborer, has multiple Facebook pages with different names, has gang affiliations (no details) and has been arrested for DUIs, then that means the next person who checks off those boxes may also be a cop killer and should be immediately deported. That seems extreme, given that there are numerous people who may fit that criteria. And what about those who fit those same criteria but are U.S. citizens? It seems as though we have an unreasonable kneejerk reaction in the hopes that it will promote civility and a nonviolent society.

Arriaga’s decision to kill was his and his alone and the labels meant nothing in the scheme of things. Consider this: if Arriaga was instead a white U.S. citizen, he would be labeled as a lone wolf.

For 2019, we urge the general public to look past the labels that have minimized people and humanity into categories of hopeful and hopeless cases and focus on individual beings as complex, multilayered, sometimes impulsive, committed to survival, who are not defined by heritage, status, gender, condition, etc. It’s a productive way to right the wrongs and promote a better balanced and civilized society.

super-rich have high paid advisors who tell them exactly when to get out. They sell all of their stocks and leave the small investors and poor investors holding the EMPTY BAG!!!

Lesson 2: Computers now do 90 percent of the stock market trades.

These computers can execute 10 BILLION TRADES IN ONE MICRO SECOND!! Guess who owns these computers? Wall Street companies that are in turn owned by the same rich and super-rich in the first paragraph.

Lesson 3: The computers are programmed to monitor 10 THOUSAND factors or more that the average investor CANNOT do. They have built in triggers telling them when to buy or sell.

Lesson 4: TRADE is a BIG factor. The socalled TRADE WAR between China and the USA has been going on for the past 25 years but most people are too stupid to realize this or too poorly educated to understand. It has been a ONE WAY (DIODELIKE) trade war, with China imposing tariffs on many of our products. President Trump tried to impose the SAME tariffs on Chinese goods and look what happened? Where is the fairness? China is allowed to restrict OUR products, which they have done for the past 25 years, and the USA is NOT allowed to do the same to them!!! Total insanity!

Lesson 5: The Federal Reserve is another biggie. They make up their own rules, which we are NOT allowed to see. No one can check on them to see what they are doing and why?

Is that fair in a democratic system? I don’t think so.

Tandem parasailing by Channel Islands Parasail.

Up, up and away Parasailing comes to Channel Islands Harbor

by Kateri Wozny

I

have a fear of heights.

That shouldn’t surprise most people, as it is a common fear. I live in the Channel Islands Harbor, so when I saw a person parasailing one weekend from my balcony, I knew I had to conquer my fear and give it a shot.

Dave Vogt, a resident of Oxnard, opened Channel Islands Parasail in November. He grew up around parasailing in Oahu, Hawaii, and has been an operator in the business for almost nine years. He has parasailed more than 100,000 people in places like Lake Tahoe, Catalina Island and Daytona Beach, Florida. Vogt also told me that the next nearest parasailing businesses were in Marina Del Rey and Lake Tahoe; we’re lucky to have it in this county now.

“It’s fun to see people enjoy themselves,” Vogt said.

Channel Islands Parasail offers three experiences: 600 feet, 800 feet and 1,000 feet. Vogt told me that practically everybody does the 1,000-foot experience and advised me to have at least one other person do it with me “to feel more at ease,” so I brought my best friend, Ana, along. He also told us to wear whatever we wanted and that most people go barefoot. Bringing personal items such as a camera or cell phone are at the person’s own discretion.

“You guys will be up in the air for 10 to 13 minutes, it’ll be great,” Vogt said. “The coast line is beautiful with the water.”

We left the Marine Emporium Landing and headed towards the ocean. The winds that day were west-northwest at 10 mph, a perfect day for parasailing. (Vogt told me winds under 20 mph are ideal.) Nate Warren, Vogt’s

first mate, helped Ana and I put on our harnesses and lifejackets (yes, please!) as Vogt explained that a hydraulic winch system with 1,000 feet of line would launch and retrieve us.

As if going up 1,000 feet wasn’t enough for me, I told him I get seasick easily.

“We won’t be out long enough for you to get seasick,” Vogt assured me. “Don’t worry about it, don’t think about it, have fun!”

Helpful instructions! As Vogt sped up the boat, Warren helped Ana and I come to the back, told us to sit down and attached us onto the parasail.

“I’ll let you know when you are coming back in if you should be standing or sitting,” Warren said.

Here we go, I thought. I was feeling excited yet nervous with sweaty palms. Ana and I looked at each other, held our breath and off we went into the air. “Oh my god” went through my head a million times.

It was exhilarating and a bird’s-eye view flying over the Pacific Ocean observing Ventura County. I felt proud to live in such a majestic place. Ana and I let out gleeful screams as the line took us higher and higher. I felt a sense of peace and happiness come over me as we made a turn over the ocean.

On the way down, Warren told us to come in sitting and helped us remove our harness and lifejackets as we headed back into the harbor.

“How was it?” Vogt asked.

I smiled. “Best thing I have ever done,” I said. ✦ Channel Islands Parasail is located at 3600 Harbor Blvd. in Oxnard. Prices are $69 for 600 feet, $79 for 800 feet and $89 for 1,000 feet. For more information or to book an adventure, call 805-462-7696 or visit www.channelislandsparasail.com.

Thousand Oaks-based Fit 4 the Cause will host its annual “Re-Gift for Charity” drive on Jan. 26 and is seeking donations now ahead of the event.

The event will benefit Fit 4 the Cause, which provides licensed fitness professionals and nutrition educators for low-income and special-needs communities as a preventative solution. Since the Woolsey Fire, the organization has been directly involved in recovery efforts, supporting the #805Strong movement, offering scheduled fitness programs for those impacted by the fire.

Gyms affiliated with Fit 4 the Cause, including Agoura Fitness, Sports Academy Foundation, The Hit Factory and Athletic Society, offered first responders access to showers, food, water and physical therapy at the height of operations.

The superhero themed gala will kick off at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 26 at the Hyatt Westlake Village. Until then, donations can be made by sending gifts to Fit 4 the Cause, Third Annual Miracle of Movement Gala, c/o Maximum Net Events, 629 N. Main St., Orange, CA, 92868.

Gifts are asked to be no less than $50 in value.

CONGRESSWOMAN JULIA BROWNLEY CRITICIZES SANTA SUSANA FIELD LAB CLEAN UP REPORT

Congresswoman Julia Brownley, D-Westlake Village, is not happy with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Final Environmental Impact Statement regarding the clean of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory near Simi Valley.

In a statement, Brownley calls the report “deeply disappointing.”

“I am deeply disappointed with the Department of Energy’s proposed clean-up decision, which breaks the department’s prior commitments under the Administrative Orders on Consent (AOCs),” wrote Brownley. “Clean-up of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory is a high public health and safety priority, and my involvement with the clean-up goes back to my time in the California Assembly as a principal co-author of SB990, state legislation to require the full clean-up.”

Critics say that the final report ignores a 2010 plan between regulators NASA and the Department of Energy that called for a strict remediation plan, which would clean the soil beyond federal standards, the so-called AOCs. The area was the site of a partial nuclear meltdown in 1959.

“I urge the California Department of Toxic Substances Control to ensure that the AOCs are upheld,” said Brownley.

“NO ITINERARY, NO RESERVATION” Retired Oxnard teacher makes epic solo journeys by motorcycle

BY MICHAEL SULLIVAN | MICHAEL@VCREPORTER.COM

T

here are hidden gems of accomplishment and achievement that often go overlooked because they don’t come with degrees and titles. In Ventura County, stories such as Mark Fargo’s solo motorcycle riding may not be all that unusual, but when it comes to fulfilling personal ambitions (we all have them), Fargo’s dedication can be an inspiration.

While his 16,000-mile journey may be complete, he’s still making the highways an endless adventure.

VCReporter: Tell us about life in Ventura County.

Fargo: I have been a Ventura County resident on and off since 1960, moving from Sherman Oaks. I’m a Buena High graduate in 1971. [I’ve had] various careers but retired two years ago at 63 from teaching social sciences in the Oxnard Union High School District for 17 years and before that three years at California Youth Authority. I was also a DII tennis player out of Ventura College and coached at Channel Islands and Pacifica High.

How long have you been riding motorcycles?

I’ve only been riding motorcycles for five years and the last three on the open road. My first ride was on a BMW 650 scooter covering 33 days and 7,259 miles. I always ride alone, as you can see by the hand-painted wolf on the sides of my current ride, the 1200 cc Yamaha Super Ténéré, which also is inked on my left shoulder to elbow. I decided a long time ago that I was not going to be a “GPS, fully loaded, just add two doors and call it a car” motorcyclist. I have cruise control but sometimes I’m riding sun up to sundown and one time up to over 700 miles. My Yamaha is a dual-sport so going off road is not a problem like it is for most bikes.

I often find myself looking at my 8-inch by 11-inch Thomas Guide to help me navigate my “no itinerary, no reservation” mantra. I’ve gotten lost quite a few times but I have also found some real gems to photograph in doing so, like a grass tennis court and 65-foot wagon wheel sculpture in the middle on Iowa cornfield.

What has been your greatest road trip endeavor?

I just completed a 16,235-mile trip. It was coast to

8—

—January 3, 2019

coast but didn’t make it about how many states I rode in. I camped when appropriate and did day rides from my XOA campsite. A lot of locals give you the skills when they see your gear, etc., and have been very useful, like gas station people, in providing non-iconic sites, which is what I like to shoot.

From June 26 until Oct. 13 (110 days), I had an incredible journey. Over 16,000 miles, over 12,000 just from Portland alone from Aug. 21. Three oil changes, two popped headlights, one set of new tires in New Hampshire to save state taxes, two lost hats (bummer), two hours dishwashing, three hours mowing one lawn, 10 days camping, five days riding in the rain, 10 days riding over 450 miles, six days over 500 miles, 10 different states of old and reacquainting friends letting me recoup for a few days, and this pile of mail I’m not looking forward to the next few days. Thank all of you and especially Maggie, my mate for life, for giving me the freedom for sharing this journey.

What were some interesting situations you encountered?

I have way too many stories, mostly positive, about our country’s changed norms but once I got stuck out in an Indian reservation off the 20 east in Nebraska via a muddled detour and was chased out by a pack of protective dogs.

What have you learned so far about solo journeys?

My philosophy is to have a destination but not a plan, necessarily, on how to get there. I travel a lot of two- and four-lane highways and byways and usually only use interstates to hoof it to somewhere if it’s just time to get home. My last week from the coast of South Carolina had five straight days of over 500 miles. I paid the price as my 65-year-old body told me to now get a custom seat to continue my new adventures. Costs vary between $50 and $150 a day including camp sites, cheesy hotels, gas and meals. On this last trip I was lucky that many of my fellow (Buena) Bulldogs live in other states and I got two to three days of relief from those long days. I used that hospitality to do local 100- to 200-mile day trips. I once ended up in a city park with some fellow riders avoiding the lightning storms that

filled the sky. Some riders I’ve met just camp along the road in some buses. The 50 east out of Nevada is not one of those roads I would do that. Stone silence for hours while trying to get to Utah.

How many trips have you made?

I’ve done about six trips ranging from 3,000 miles to the latest, which was over, as you know, 16,000.

Why did you decide to get into riding now, at this age?

Not really influenced by movies or books and I have always been adventurous even in my relationship the last 18 years with Maggie, who is still teaching and supports my desire to travel the country. She is not interested in riding on the back and I am more of an individual who needs his space at times. No mid-life crisis here, I just wanted to utilize my time better as I got older. I hitched Europe at 19 for six months from Scotland to Turkey, which made me grow up quickly.

I wasn’t responsible enough as a young man and probably would have not survived my need for speed as a youth.

I ride for the ride and you won’t see me at Sturgis or Daytona, etc. I don’t care for the crowds and some of the things that happen there. I have done some very challenging rides like Beartooth Pass out of Yellowstone and Ouray in Colorado. My real love for the road is also the daily photos I take as they exemplify my Motorcycle Haiku thought process. Ride it, record it and pin it with haiku to me leave the experience itself with no filters, photo shopping, etc. My anthology, the third in a series of chapbooks, will be out by the end of the year or after the holidays.

You [make] a lot of mistakes learning how to be a road warrior, like rain gear, because it can rain anytime, anywhere at any time; duct tape; extra rope or bungee cords. You learn how to tweak your bike and upgrade tents, etc., to make life easier on the road. I love it and haven’t owned a car for over 18 months. F Mark Fargo documented his solo motorcycle journeys in haiku with two books available on Amazon and his soon to be released, The Art of Motorcycle Haiku, out late January.

For more information, contact markafargo@gmail.com.

In The Art of Motorcycle Haiku, Mark Fargo documents his solo motorcycle journeys in poetry and pictures, including clockwise from top: Devil's Tower in Wyoming, Niagra Falls, The Needle in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Grist Hill covered bridge in Jeffersonville Vermont and a tranquil lake in New Hampshire.

Miller’s research led him directly to the former VFS head.

Miller, who currently works at Red Guitar Advertising in Newbury Park as a film producer and editor, admitted to being nervous about taking on the position formerly held by filmmaker DeStefano. After the two engaged in extensive discussions, Miller learned two things: 1) He had big shoes to fill, and 2) DeStefano’s vision for VFS correlated closely with his own.

“He vetted me,” Miller admitted. “He interviewed me and he kind of gave me the history of the film society.”

But the discussions allowed Miller to appreciate the solid foundation that DeStefano had laid, and it’s why he plans to stick with what worked: “The more I got to learn about the VFS 1.0 that Lorenzo did, that was kind of right up my alley. He had a great and robust society. I’m just kind of approaching this to keep the ball rolling.”

To celebrate the new VFS, an opening reception was held at the Museum of Ventura County on Friday, Dec. 7.

One of the hosts included Museum of Ventura County Programs Director Denise Sindelar. Before joining the Directly across from St. Bonaventure High School museum’s staff, Sindelar was the community partnerships manager for the city of Ventura, and as such was involved in helping VFS get off the ground.

“The city was a grantor to the Ventura Film Society for many years,” she explained. “We provided seed funding when the society first began.”

Now she hopes to form a new partnership with VFS. “We’ve met with the new executive director, and we’re very supportive of providing the pavilion at a subsidized rate so that he can kick off this new film series,” she said.

“I’ve also encouraged him to work with the city to secure screening rights at Cinemark (Century 10 in downtown Ventura).”

Her hope is to coordinate with the society to bring film lovers downtown and to tie some film series into the museum’s exhibits.

“The museum would love to have a film series here,” she said, “and would like to work in collaboration with the film society to curate films that might refer back to some of our upcoming exhibits.”

While it’s still early days for the new VFS, there were some hints at the reception regarding films to come, including a showing of the feature film Bernard and Huey, which screens at Century 10 Downtown on Tuesday, Jan. 8. The film was directed by Dan Mirvish and written by Jules Feiffer, the Pulitzer Prize- and Oscarwinning cartoonist, playwright and screenwriter, known for his 1971 screenplay for Carnal Knowledge.

For Miller, producing a film series is a lot of work, but he looks forward to the challenge.

“I wouldn’t take this job if Lorenzo wouldn’t have such a great program in place,” he said. “I think my charge is to make it better than what Lorenzo made it, and that’s a pretty tall task.”

Still, with support provided by the museum and the community of fans and former volunteers who attended the reception, Miller feels confident that all the pieces are in place: “The feeling I got from everybody in Ventura was, yes, let’s do this again. That’s why I’m here.” ✦ Bernard and Huey will be screened on Tuesday, Jan. 8, at 7 p.m. at Century 10 Downtown, 555 E. Main St., Ventura.

“I can do anything” A conversation with Michael Aston of Gene Loves Jezebel

W

elsh post-punk outfit Gene Loves Jezebel began life in the early ’80s as the brainchild of identical twins Jay and Michael Aston. With a revolving cast of characters — including Julianne Regan of All About Eve and the late, great Zelig of British music, drummer John Murphy — cycling through the band over its history, the only constants remaining were the Astons until their own split in 1997. Ever since, lead singer Michael Aston has flown the Gene Loves Jezebel banner high and forged ahead, appearing this weekend in Agoura Hills, itself a very far cry from rural Wales. Aston here holds forth about inspiration, self-determination and the importance of dreams in the making of art.

DC: What was the last great creative breakthrough you’ve experienced?

Aston: I tend to write and leave melodies and words in a Jackson Pollock-like chaos. I’ve begun writing words first and then attempting to pair them with my melodies.

I also have many basic tracks from multiple players. I also still believe in [being in] a rehearsal room and ad-libbing ’til “magicdom.” I’m far more open to using unusual combinations when I write; it helps [that] my kids are so creative, too. I suspect my next record will be startling.

What’s a moment on this current tour that’s surprised you most? Was it when you fixed that broken axle on your tour vehicle by yourself a few weeks ago?

Broken axle? Oh, on my Chinook [trailer]! Yes, that was a moment of triumph as I’m rather nervous around mechanical things. Yes, a great moment — an epiphany of sorts. I can do anything.

Is there a perception, once an artist reaches a particular level in their career, that things like fixing axles are somehow something that they aren’t expected to do?

I’ve always been fearless in my enthusiasm for selfexploration, from gardening to cooking, painting, building, writing, acting, carpentry and baking. Once I get a taste, I go all in and of course I love everything that produces something. It’s so satisfying and absorbing. I’d even count raising our children as a great success and joy. I’ve done most of the artwork [for] the many Gene

Loves Jezebel releases over the years, and I’m always the last to leave the studio.

Is there one particular thing you actively do to connect with an audience on stage?

I engage them, and ask [questions] of them. I take seriously what I do — but not myself. I surrender to the moment and go off in tangent. I really think it’s a spiritual and communal experience for me. I feel at one and connected to some other plane [of existence]. I really think that’s what it is.

A conduit between an audience and a higher power?

There are episodes . . . the musicians I play with are aware that I might wander off, and pay close attention to nuance and flight.

Does other art find its way into the material during the songwriting process?

I’ll sometimes hear something in conversation or other times just have a flooding . . . more often than not, I will encounter something or someone and a painting will arrive, in word or vision. I have written quite a lot from the emotion of encounters and sadness of loss and thrill of living — even the most mundane can set me off, and the more you engage in this world, the deeper the well.

I do write from a visual perspective; memory plays her tricks and weaves away.

That sounds like an almost dreamlike way of composition.

I usually wake around 4 a.m. That’s when I’m at my most dynamic. This is a curious time of breakthrough and anticipation.

What was the last dream that you had that made an impact on you?

I dreamt of Jesus Christ and Che Guevara as the same man and wrote the song “Rosario” around it . . . and last week, I dreamt I was in a conversation with my darkest enemies and had the last word. It was wonderful. ✦ Gene Loves Jezebel appears with Annabella’s Bow Wow Wow, Missing Persons and Trans X at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills on Saturday, Jan. 5, at 6 p.m. For tickets and more information, call 888-645-5006 or visit wheremusicmeetsthesoul.com/canyon-agoura-hills/.

Formerly home to Safire, the building is an enigma or accuracy and is p OK to run of sorts as the bar area, dining room and patio all bring uality of reproduction. with correction their own distinct ambiance. The bar area has a low-key club feeling, illuminated with a vibrant purple against a white geometric art wall at the bar itself, a lounge area with aquamarine velvet couches and about a dozen tables with chairs and booths. This is contrasted with a dining room with 20-(or so)-feet-high ceilings and little noticeable art except for ornate chandeliers that stand out against the backdrop of concrete polished floors, gray walls, black and white tables and booths of almost iridescent white. (The patio was too cold outside this time of year to explore.)

And so we arrived after a rather quiet Christmas holiday to find a rather quiet dining room, but a bar area bubbling with conversation and activity: We had come at 5 p.m., just in time for happy hour. With reggae playing softly over the speakers, we felt invited and found a spot on a couch in the lounge area — the hostess told us we could grab any spot in the bar area.

The bartender was the first to greet us with menus and another server tended to our basic needs, including clearing dirty dishes and refilling our drinks. For the happy hour menu, there were cocktails, wine and beer as well as an assortment of familiar dishes with a twist, such as the wild mushroom taquitos. We chose those, the Slate steak burger with fries, macaroni and cheese and pizza bianco.

It wasn’t but a few minutes later that our orders came out as we sat together on the velvet aquamarine couch under a flat screen TV (featuring a silent Nacho Libre) and a sparkling chandelier hanging over the empty lounge. My companion asked for ranch on the side and when a female server, who seemed friendly and warm, returned with it, I coincidentally went “mmmm!” a bit loud with the first bite of the pizza, a mouthful of warm egg yolk, salty cheese, fluffy dough, thinly sliced red onion and white garlic sauce coupled with fresh arugula.

Shortly after she left, a big party came in and sat across from us in the lounge, making it a little hard to hear my companion right next to me.

My companion had ordered the burger, and I was lucky to get a single bite. I personally didn’t discern the bacon tomato jam or jalapeño aioli or even the buttermilk-soaked onion rings, but what I can attest to is this: My dining partner is a man who takes pride in his barbecue skills and burger preparation and he approved.

The bun, however, was “a little dry.” His suggestion: Add avocado. Despite any negatives, the burger and fries topped with grated Parmesan cheese were gone in a few minutes.

After the burger, we jumped into the silver cauldron of macaroni and cheese.

“That’s the richest mac and cheese I’ve ever had,” he said. No doubt, Slate’s homemade batch includes Gouda, Munster, sharp white cheddar and Parmesan cheese, topped with thin crispy onion rings. If you want that feeling of being stuffed, you only need one order of macaroni and cheese.

To wrap up our truly happy hour meal, we ate the wild mushroom taquitos. They came drizzled in a black bean puree, dotted with guacamole and served with a side of ultra creamy guacamole that made us wonder if it was store bought. Whatever the case, we ate it all. And I’m often very reluctant to get taquitos anywhere. These were a definite score.

Heading home, I thought of a small hole-in-the-wall bar I visited in Manhattan that could have been a replica of the bar area at Slate. At happy hour prices, I was overly satisfied and impressed with the offerings and quality. But in the end, I do believe that all experiences are enhanced by the company we keep. With that in mind, I had a superb time at a new place called Slate. ♦

Does this sound familiar? Remember Nixon? Remember the argument for weapons of mass destruction?

If Dick is an unpolished diamond, she is the jeweler.

Still, even with the actors’ skillful representations, the story of Cheney’s rise is painful to watch.

Not just for the usual politics, but for the events leading up to 9/11 and the back story behind the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Just the memory of such loss, so many lies and the resulting political military quagmire is almost unbearable to watch.

And then something strange happens. It’s as if McKay, struggling to piece this story together, shares a moment Tuesday of epiphany. Quoting Cheney word for word, Bale sits 9pm to 1am up in bed in a darkened room and gives an unapologetic justification for his actions: He was simply protecting us Wednesday & Sunday Nights from the bad guys. He was just doing his job. And isn’t that the usual answer that power gives when its dirty deeds are exposed?

by Tim Pompey

hy was this film made? Well, we might ask the main man, Dick Cheney, except, the Vice of this film doesn’t talk much, can’t shoot straight and lumbers down a hall like a bear with a hernia. Still, we spend two-plus hours hoping for an explanation.

This film has a definite viewpoint aimed squarely at a Shakespeare-quoting Wyoming lineman who, according to director Adam McKay, shoulders the blame for initiating the infamous War in Iraq that has us currently mired in the Middle East like a tractor stuck in the middle of a muddy pasture. What’s more, it claims to be true.

Dick Cheney (Christian Bale) starts off his adult life as a drunk Yale dropout who gets pulled over twice in his native Wyoming for DUIs. His ambitious wife, Lynne (Amy Adams), gives him an ultimatum to shape up or ship out.

Cheney turns over a new leaf and, with Lynne pulling the oars, works his way up the Washington political ladder; first as an intern for Congressman William A. Steiger, then serving in the Nixon and Ford White House, where he eventually was hired as the White House Chief of Staff. In 1978, Cheney was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for Wyoming’s single congressional district. Later, during the first Bush presidency, he became the Secretary of Defense. Under George W. Bush, he was elected as Vice President and served for two terms.

Not that this chain of events makes the movie interesting. What director McKay really wants to note is how Cheney, who is portrayed as both bumbling and boring, managed to find himself in the middle of an important political debate regarding the unitary executive theory.

Vice is more like a docudrama with actors hired as fill-ins for the actual characters.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction.

Foul Pay

I

went out with a feminist who was all into women’s empowerment, but when the bill came, she made no effort to chip in. Please explain this type of feminism. Is it somehow possible that she didn’t notice the check?

— Incredulous It is possible that she didn’t notice the check. It’s also possible that she likes to take time off from complaining about paternalistic behaviors to sample the ones that work best for her.

While this appears to be a glaring example of self-serving selective feminism, research suggests there’s sometimes a more charitable explanation for absurdly contradictory

by amy alkon beliefs and behavior. Though most people believe that there’s a single consistent you (or me) with stable beliefs and preferences, this actually seems to be an illusion. In fact, if there’s one thing that’s consistent about humans, it’s how inconsistent we all tend to be (and — it gets better — how consistent we are in vigorously denying that).

Co gnitive scientist Colin Martindale theorized back in 1980 that we have a number of “subselves” — sub-personalities with varying beliefs and priorities — that go active or sink into the background depending on the context at hand.

In other words, whichever goal is front and center in your mind — like “Fight patriarchal oppression!” or “Take this totally adorbs patriarchal oppressor home to bed!” — drives how you think and behave.

Re s e a rch by n e u ro s c i e n tist Michael Gazzaniga suggests Martindale was right. Gazzaniga’s findings also led him to the conclusion that our mind has a janitor of sorts — a psychological one he calls “The Interpreter” — that tidies up in the wake of our inconsistencies by creating justifications for them. These, in turn, allow us to view ourselves as consistent and rational — instead of laughably hypocritical, like a feminist who, when the check comes, stares

skyward, all “Wow! That is one of the most well-preserved examples of the early-’90s popcorn ceiling!”

However, again, more charitably, everybody these days is confused about who’s supposed to pay on dates (and when and what it all means).

For example, a woman will chip in on the first date because she earns a living, too! — or because the prospect of sex with the dude is akin to “Would madam enjoy her Caesar salad with a light dusting of E. coli?”

To suss out where this woman is coming from, you need more infor-

‘‘

Keeping It Rio This girl I’ve been dating for two months is soon going to Brazil for three months! We aren’t officially committed, so it seems unfair to ask her to be monogamous. We plan to stay in touch, but I don’t want to hear about her with other dudes, and selfishly, I don’t want to stay home, all celibate like some war bride.

—Realistic Or Cracked?

It’s very considerate of you to suggest three months sexually off leash, as she is traveling to the ancestral homeland of male supermodels, where a chunk of the GNP is dependent on Carnival — a weeklong drinking, samba, and sex fest.

The problem is jealousy, one of our guard dog emotions.

Evolutionary psychologist David Buss explains that jealousy rises up automatically to help us fend off “potential mate poachers” and prevent a mate from “defecting.”

Because it’s set on “auto,” it can be hard to override.

That said, though you don’t have a committed relationship with this woman — let alone an “open” one — you might be able to make use of a psychological tactic of people in sexually open relationships. It’s called “compersion” — taking pleasure

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”

— sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein mation, and to get that, you’ll need further interaction — on the phone or, even better, in person. (Action reveals character.) Sure, she could be a hypocrite riding the patriarchal free dinner train — or maybe she finds it icky to split the check and figured she’d get the next one. It’s also possible she’ll reciprocate with a home-cooked meal — because you picked a place where the water alone costs $11 and she’s busy completing a dog walking internship while moonlighting as a freelance field hand.

in your partner’s getting pleasure, even if it’s from some other, uh, provider. Granted, this is probably about as realistic for most people as their Ubering to a party via unicorn.

However, it dovetails nicely with my fave quote about love, from sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein: “Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”

Float the idea of planned cooperative ignorance, and ask her to think on it for a few days. (People often have more reasoned responses to hot-button issues when they aren’t expected to reply pronto.) Also, it doesn’t hurt that she’s the one wintering where stone-sober women are tempted to stop men on the street with “Excuse me, but would you mind if I licked black beans off your ridiculously chiseled abs?” ♦ Reader Survey: Do you pick up the VCReporter every week to read Advice Goddess?

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES

(March 21-April 19):

No one has resisted the force of gravity with more focus than businessman Roger Babson (1875–1967).

He wrote an essay entitled “Gravity - Our Enemy Number One,” and sought to develop anti-gravity technology. His Gravity Research Foundation gave awards to authentic scientists who advanced the understanding of gravity. If that organization still existed and offered prizes, I’m sure that researchers of the Aries persuasion would win them all in 2019.

For your tribe, the coming months should feature lots of escapes from heaviness, including soaring flights and playful levity and lofty epiphanies.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20):

The night parrots of Australia are so elusive that there was a nearly six-decade stretch when no human saw a single member of the species. But in 2013, after searching for 15 years, photographer John Young spotted one and recorded a 17-second video. Since then, more sightings have occurred.

According to my astrological vision, your life in 2019 will feature experiences akin to the story of the night parrot’s reappearance. A major riddle will be at least partially solved. Hidden beauty will materialize.

Long-secret phenomena will no longer be secret. A missing link will re-emerge.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20):

Millions of years ago, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and North and South America were smooshed together. Earth had a single land mass, the supercontinent Pangea. Stretching across its breadth was a colossal feature, the Central Pangean Mountains. Eventually, though, Europe and America split apart, making room for the Atlantic Ocean and dividing the Central Pangean range.

Today the Scottish Highlands and the Appalachian Mountains are thousands of miles apart, but once

upon a time they were joined. In 2019, Gemini, I propose that you look for metaphorical equivalents in your own life. What disparate parts of your world had the same origin? What elements that are now divided used to be together? Re-establish their connection. Get them back in touch with each other. Be a specialist in cultivating unity.

LIBRA

(June 21-July 22):

2019. You’ll undergo an incubation period that may feel cloaked and mysterious. That’s just as it should be: the best possible circumstances for the vital new part of your life that will be growing. So be patient.

You’ll see the tangible results in 2020.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

2019 will be an excellent time to swim in unpolluted rivers, utter sacred oaths near beautiful fountains, and enjoy leisurely saunas that help purify your mind and body. You are also likely to attract cosmic favor if you cry more than usual, seek experiences that enhance your emotional intelligence, and ensure that your head respectfully consults with your heart before making decisions. Here’s another way to get on life’s good side: cultivate duties that consistently encourage you to act out of love and joy rather than out of guilt and obligation.

(July 23-Aug. 22)

Here are four key questions I hope you’ll meditate on throughout 2019: 1. What is love? 2. What kind of love do you want to receive? 3. What kind of love do you want to give? 4. How could you transform yourself in order to give and receive more of the love you value most? To spur your efforts, I offer you these thoughts from teacher David R. Hawkins: “Love is misunderstood to be an emotion; actually, it is a state of awareness, a way of being in the world, a way of seeing oneself and others.”

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

“Most living things begin in the absence of light,” writes Virgo author Nancy Holder. “The vine is rooted in the earth; the fawn takes form in the womb of the doe.” I’ll remind you that your original gestation also took place in the dark. And I foresee a meta-

weeds were regarded as tasty food by Native Americans. A prime example is the cattail, which grows wild in wetlands. Indigenous people ate the rootstock, stem, leaves, and flower spike. I propose

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Sagittarian polymath Piet Hein wrote a poem in which he named the central riddle of his existence.

“A bit beyond perception’s reach, / I sometimes believe I see / That life is two locked boxes / Each containing the other’s key.” I propose that we adopt this scenario to symbolize one of the central riddles of your existence. I’ll go further and speculate that in 2019 one of those boxes will open as if through a magical fluke, without a need for the key. This mysterious blessing won’t really be a magical fluke, but rather a stroke of well-deserved and hard-earned luck that is the result of the work you’ve been doing to transform and improve yourself.

What themes and instruments do people least want to hear in a piece of music? Composer Dave Solder determined that the worst song ever made would contain bagpipes, cowboy music, tubas, advertising jingles, operatic rapping, and children crooning about holidays. Then he collaborated with other musicians to record such a song. I suspect that as you head into 2019, it’ll be helpful to imagine a metaphorically comparable monstrosity: a fantastic mess that sums up all the influences you’d like to avoid. With that as a vivid symbol, you’ll hopefully be inspired to avoid allowing any of it to sneak into your life in the coming months.

you’ve regarded as useless or irrelevant or inconvenient could be revealed as assets. Be alert for the possibility of such shifts. Here’s advice from Ralph virtues have not yet been discovered.”

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

The slow, gradual, incremental approach will be your magic strategy in 2019. Being persistent and thorough as you take one step at a time will provide you with the power to accomplish wonders. Now and then, you may be tempted to seek dramatic breakthroughs or flashy leaps of faith; and there may indeed be one or two such events mixed in with your steady rhythms. But for the most part, your glory will come through tenacity. Now study this advice from mystic Meister Eckhart: “Wisdom consists in doing the next thing you have to do, doing it with your whole heart, and finding delight in doing it.”

AQUARIUS

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

In Canada, it’s illegal to pretend to practice witchcraft. It’s fine to actually do witchcraft, however.

With that as our inspiration, I advise you to be rigorous about embodying your authentic self in 2019.

Make sure you never lapse into merely imitating who you are or who you used to be. Don’t fall into the trap of caring more about your image than about your actual output. Focus on standing up for

what you really mean rather than what you imagine people expect from you. The coming months will be a time when you can summon pure and authoritative expressions of your kaleidoscopic soul.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20):

In the eighteenth century, Benjamin Franklin was a Founding Father who played a key role in getting the United States up and running. He wasn’t happy that the fledgling nation chose the bald eagle as its animal symbol. The supposedly majestic raptor is lazy, he wrote. It doesn’t hunt for its own food, but steals grub obtained by smaller birds of prey. Furthermore, bald eagles are cowardly, Franklin believed. Even sparrows may intimidate them. With that as our theme, Pisces, I invite you to select a proper creature to be your symbolic ally in 2019. Since you will be building a new system and establishing a fresh power base, you shouldn’t pick a critter that’s merely glamorous. Choose one that excites your ambition and animates your willpower.
