Growing up outside of the Philadelphia area in South New Jersey, Don became a dedicated follower of the Los Angeles Rams, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Philadelphia Flyers, and the Grateful Dead. Prior to the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995, Don had attended a total of 381 Grateful Dead shows all over the world. His experience as a Deadhead led to his choice to pursue a career in music and entertainment. After graduating from the University of Maryland, College Park, majoring in Business Administration and Computer Languages, and minoring in Communications, Don began his professional career in the Entertainment Industry. His first job in the Industry was managing Chalet Sound Studios and Production Company in Manasquan, NJ. Chalet handled some major clients, including Jon Bon Jovi (New Jersey), Skid Row (debut CD), John Entwistle Babylon A.D. Baton Rouge, and during the recording of the Village People comeback CD. His major accomplishment at Chalet was with the successful management of the Russian Band Gorky Park, who was the first band from Russia to record for a major label in the United States. His excellent management and production abilities of that facility led to the band touring and opening for Bon Jovi in stadiums all over the world. Don went on to work in the Business and Legal Affairs Division at MCA Records, a part of the MCA Music Entertainment Group in Universal City, California. He then relocated to New York to work at PolyGram Holding Company, while simultaneously pursuing his Master's Degree at Stern Business School at NYU in 1996. When he finished school in New York, he went back to California to work for Warner Music Group, where he had great success in Licensing, obtaining the most licenses in the history of the company. In 2006/2007, Don went home to the East Coast to begin his dream of establishing his own Entertainment Company. With offices in both New York, California and New Jersey, Don launched Sunset. He set up the companies to include many different aspects of entertainment, including music supervision, licensing placements, book publishing, merchandise, film and video production and development (and distribution). Additionally, he has implemented the world's first and only 'all live' radio format where every song played at the syndicated station, is/are the live versions of them, and he has an Internet television network with more 25 programs, a popular political blog at Word Press, and a news media outlet partnered with the likes of Reuters.Yahoo, reasonTV and Democracy Now!. He was also the first person to create, start and implement the first "digital only" record label back in 2007. Don has also authored two books, "Three Weeks in June," and "Diary of a Ram Fan", that both uniquely parallel his life experiences to evaluate and explain history, pop culture, and politics. His writings touch on many controversial topics that are part of our everyday lives and how those topics impact on our society. As a dedicated Activist, Don has created the non-profit organization Sustainable Action Network (SAN) that works daily to raise awareness and create laws to defend against animal cruelty, increase gun safety, oppose the privatization of prisons, and expose corporate corruption. He has volunteered his time to many organizations that promote his ideologies of conservation, animal rights, and ending corruption in our society. His career has led Don to be the recipient of many awards of achievement, including four (4) Multi-Platinum Awards, Two (2) Platinum Awards and two (2) Gold Record Awards issued by the Recording Industry Association of America RIAA), along with his "All Around Achievement" Award for being part of the labels (MCA Records) "best year ever" and has been issued similar awards from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) (2) Multi-Platinum Awards, Two (1) Platinum Award and two (1) Gold Record Award)).

Chapter I - Super Bowl XXXVI

John Madden: That's What he'll Do. He'll Spike It Here.

Pat Summerall: Seven Seconds. They've Got Viniteri in range.

John Madden: I'll tell you with what Tom Brady just did, gives me goose bumps.

Pat Summerall: He has certainly got plenty of distance, I was watching him before the game and he was; well he pulled that one during in pre game bit most of em he hit during pre game. He doesn’t miss many. This would be from forty-eight yards out.

John Madden: And this, this has been a year of about Viniteri and making some great kicks against the Raiders. Two of the greatest kicks I have seen in my life.

Pat Summerall: Here comes one of greater importance if he makes it. And, its right down the pipe. Adam Viniteri. No time on the clock and the patriots have won Super Bowl thirty six. Unbelievable.

At Super Bowl XXXVI, there was a sense of Patriotism and celebration in the Super Dome.

I really, truly did not think in terms of the team losing today. Could you imagine if I were at that game and not in Ojai where I am hiding out from everyone? I told two people that I was at the game which is stupid because now, I have to find some ways to upkeep that lie. I can easily buy the program, a ticket stub and looky here on eBay; a Super Bowl XXXVI commemorative watch. But the fact is that I am watching the game in a Hotel room in the Ojai Resort where I had been staying all weekend. If I were NOT drunk off my ass right now, this would have been pushing six full months of complete sobriety after quitting all drugs and alcohol just a few days before 9/11. If it were not for me breaking it this month, I'd be sober for almost a half year, but in reality, I have been drinking for many hours today. And even though I am merely at the Super Bowl today in my own Virtual Reality if you will, I am sitting here at the edge of my bed at the Ojai Resort and Spa, with nothing to do now that the game is done. I certainly will not watch the post game. Ill go for a walk around the grounds which is, basically, a golf resort.

I am not even sure what I thought I was going to get out of being in Ojai for the so called Super Bowl. This resort is not exactly the way to see the culture in this area. Did I think that I was going to see yoga mats lined up off the side of the road? I did think I would be able to see some beautiful landscape but I also thought it would be more rustic than being in this hotel room at this resort on some golf course. I had so much growing to do that day or leading up to that day. I had zero self worth at that time with zero self confidence to do things on my own like I do today. Which is exactly why I did not leave that hotel room for that entire Super Bowl vs the Pats. And again, even though I had no thought of the team losing that game in Super Bowl XXXVI, I also had no clue that some unnamed source would step forward to make that claim that the New England Patriots staff person secretly videotaped the Rams' pregame walk-through the day before Super Bowl XXXVI. That walk-through if you will, at the Louisiana Superdome, was the non-contact, no-pads practice at reduced speed in which a team goes through its entire play book for this one game. Belichick was fined $500,000, and the New England franchise was also fined an additional $250,000 for illegally taping the New York Jets coaching signals on the sideline during the Patriots ’07 season opener against the Jets. The Patriots also had to forfeit their first-round draft pick in the next college draft as the controversy versus the Rams is now to be known as, Spygate.

The Patriots’ victory over the Rams is still considered to be one of the most surprising upsets in NFL history. The Rams had one the most incredible offenses in league history with an aggressive, high-powered, multifaceted attack known to everyone as the Greatest Show on Turf. Which, the beginning of the end of the Greatest Show on Turf is when they let Az Hakim go to Detroit. With the team's running backs that were also some of the best receivers during these years. The team had 5 to 6 to 7 people at any given time, running around ready to catch the ball anywhere on the field. With Hakim leaving the team, that speed dwindled at the drop of a dime and remember too, he (Az Hakim) was the 3rd wide receiver depth wise, while being a number one or two starting receiver on any other team in the NFL. According to a source at the Ram organization, one of the plays in that day’s walk through was a play run early in the fourth quarter when quarterback Kurt Warner fumbled on a fourth-and-goal play from the New England 3 yard line. The Patriots recovered a fumble and ran the entire length of the field, 97 yards for their touchdown. The play was brought back because of a defensive holding call against the Pats. The Rams then scored to cut New England’s lead to 17-10 with less than 10 minutes to play in the rest of the game.

It's been a year now since the Inauguration, less than a half year since 9/11 and it has also been less than half year minus this day, of me personally being 100% sober. This is the era of being corrupt, so it does make perfect sense the Pats would not mind winning any game this way. And, not only is it corrupt how (George) Bush, Jr.. scammed his way into the White House last year, it was his ways and means while in this position of office that is also the reason why America has many problems today. I quit partying two days before 9/11 that year. I can safely say that I'll never do anything except to say, smoke some bud, drink some beer and drink wine, which is where it was at before I stopped for the first time in 1995. Regardless of how I was acting in life, I hate that fact that both George Bush, Jr.. and Condolizza Rice lie about things to this modern day. They continue to maintain not knowing about certain information when there is proof that they did know all about it. They knew about it on August 6th, 2011, because there is a memo in her office that says that there is a plan to take airplanes, to fly them into buildings in the United States. Bush said to whomever wrote the so called memo that at least that person found a way to cover his own butt with a laugh behind it, and he (George Bush, Jr.) thereby ignored it. This entire administration cheated and suppressed votes to gain their positions in the office. Bush lied, cheated, and scammed his way into office before starting a war based on bad information. To get him into the office the first time, it was not democracy in any way. I doubt most people know that, incredibly enough, President Bush enacted a law that was also signed by the Governor of Florida. That law signed by the brother of the President stated that the best way to determine any outcome during any dispute in any Florida election, is for it to be done manually by people with their hand counts. Although the people in the state voted that year to use machines to do the recount, the GOP had openly mocked it, trying their hardest to use manual recounts. The President signed the most liberal laws with regard to recounts and with regard to hand counting ballots during potential election disputes that are decided by a small amount of votes. Those laws are still in place to this day, however, the last thing the GOP wanted in that state was to actually count the votes. They did every last thing in their powers to get rid of as many votes as possible last year.

Bush, Jr.. did not even win that popular vote in that election, however he still managed to get to be elected President of the United States. When you look at the electoral breakdown before that election, they all knew it was going to come down to that one state. There are some injustices in the Electoral Process. The process does not help govern the corrupt and diabolical ways to purge votes, while making them defunct to not count, delete votes and even lose actual votes. We had a system that was governed by the Presidential Candidate's brother at that time and let’s forget about the hearsay talk about Police Intimidation tactics. Let’s not even discuss what is not bound by certain sciences. Let’s forget about any tactics used on premises to push people away from the voting booths, even though many tickets for loitering, had been issued to people standing in line waiting to vote. There were also reports of people using multiple Identification cards with multiple Voter Identification Cards to vote more than one time. There were no bi lingual people, especially people that speak the Spanish language, at any of the voting places. That state is like Porky’s. I remember when Jeb initially ran for Governor of Florida back in the early to mid nineties; he had been asked what he would do for the black community during a debate with other candidates. He responded by saying probably nothing, which was great to hear someone being honest about life in Florida. But, it may not be that great to say in a debate forum. He was then elected to that Governors seat with only 10% of the African American vote. That was when he finally said that he would take a long, hard look at certain minority communities, and that he had to reach out more to those communities in Florida. He showed everyone that by getting rid of every Affirmative Action Program in that state. In 2000, after civil rights organizations lobbied hard by flocking to Florida to help create more awareness of political landscape there, they created the platform to help Black voters to get out to vote. And because of those successful campaigns, the black vote has increased 65% with 2,000 more African American voters registered in the state. Bush, Jr.'s brother (Jeb Bush) also rejected the voting applications of 2,883 ex felons that had moved to reside in the state of Florida. People that had their voting rights restored legally were purged, and they were not allowed to vote in that election. This was illegal to do in any state court and in any federal court system. 93% of the people that were once incarcerated or imprisoned in some way vote for democratic candidates. Florida spent $4,000,000 to fund the Pure List project, that identifies every one of these ex-felons. Conversely, the state of Florida did not spend $100,000 for any type of voter awareness programs or voter’s education programs. At least 15% of the people from every county in the state of Florida were wrongly and illegally stripped of their right to vote in that election, due to these purge lists. Half of those people are African American, which, in that state, 93% Black and African American people vote for Democrats. The person that was in charge of managing those lists is appointed by Bush. The new supervisor of those Purge Lists, is the co chair person of the Bush, Jr.. presidential campaign, Kathryn Harris.

For instance, Thomas Cooper’s name came up in that same database, stating that his felon date was a few years from even today. That database had people convicted in the future and then in turn, the committee had those names deleted from being able to vote last year. Also last year in Leon County, Florida, they had a listing of there being 690 felons, whereas in reality, there are only 33 people in the county that were considered to be a true felon. 95% of the people that were illegally added to that list had the same last name as a felon or the same birthday as a felon. The database company representative raised these concerns about the false positive queries found in these searches after typing up an internal company memorandum. And, the only way to delete your name off that list was to prove to the governor that you had no felony convictions. In order to be able to vote that year, they all had to write a formal notarized letter, and the response written from both Governor Bush and Kathryn Harris, made sure that the results from the searches in those data base lists were done in what is known as a very loose query using only the first four letters in any given name. Therefore, rather than search using the full name, date of birth, middle initial, Suffix, they used only the first 4 digits of the name. That has allowed many innocent people to be listed in those results. The private data crunching firm hired by them to deal with creating those database lists used vast and loose parameters to gain these names, eliminating thousands of votes cast by African American people. That law that denies ex-felons the right to vote in the state of Florida is based on an old law written by the ex Confederate soldiers into the Declaration of Independence back in 1868. It was re enacted in 2000 by Bush and Harris. That law is specifically written in because the confederate army was then all of sudden told they must recognize the votes of black people. That was a way they could deny the votes of as many possible minority people in the United States.

You had a Republican Governor at the time of this election who is also the brother of the President of the United States, involved in a recount dispute in his state. You then have one of the Presidents campaign heads, supervising the lists to purge or delete votes from the election process that year. The legal counsel that worked for the governor stepped down from those positions to work with the Bush Campaign and his aides during the recount process in Florida. Our President basically determined how many votes that Democrats were going to be cast in that election. It’s nothing less than brilliant, along with it being extremely arrogant towards the people in the U.S. But, to be able to formulate to execute this plan to work cannot be done by any dumb ass by any means of that term. Bush, Jr.. and his people are not the dumb asses we would like to paint them as, because winning this election this way was as diabolical as it gets in the history of Political Science.

Regardless, that election was not a true election with a true vote count because even after the initial partial recount, Bush, Jr.’s lead shrunk to 348 votes. That was still without many of the counties' votes tabulated yet. Of the 6,137,938 votes cast that year, Bush, Jr.. was initially ahead by 1,784 votes. Which of course is less than .03% making a recount automatic considering the threshold is being within the margin of ½ of 1%. Legally, every one of the 67 counties in the state of the Florida should have done a recount. Gore picked four counties in Florida to investigate the potential manual recount. Even though, before the recount process started that year, over 170,000 ballots throughout various counties all over the state were not read by those voting machines. The machine rejected 170,000 potential votes because of design issues and because of things having nothing to do with the voter. There were 19,100 over votes which are ballots that are punched more than one time. On November 10th that election year, this one county had 17,000 votes thrown out as never cast with 16,000 of those votes from precincts that vote 99% of the time for Democrat candidates. The best voting machine issue by far in that election was with the one that read the Caterpillar Designed Ballots. That ballot reader would give the President two votes automatically if the user filled out the entire page. The Florida state law says that if the ballot card is not readable or if the card is damaged in any way, than that card and the votes on it must be cast manually by a human. Conversely, there were also then votes accepted that were illegal and cast by people not even registered in those particular counties. 680 illegal absentee ballots were included in the results with every one of these ballots certified by Kathryn Harris. What is now known as the dimple chad issue is maybe what got us to legally look at the totality of any given voting ballot card.

Ten days after that election last year in 2000, Democrats asked the Florida courts for an extension to recount the votes. That was denied even with that 75 year old law that permits hand re counts in Florida. The United States Supreme Court Decision about the re count ripped apart any Florida state law to make sure there was no way to count those votes. If the Supreme Court Judges were at all serious about the justice of what was going on during that process, they would have sent the case back to the State of Florida’s courts. Our Supreme Court members should always adhere to the rules pertaining to having that position. And, if there is any potential conflict at all, that judge should not be involved in that case. One of the judge's sons had worked primarily for the Bush campaign during the recount and one of those sons received a top leveled appointment in the President's Administration as his legal counsel for the Department of Labor. Another Supreme Court Judge went duck hunting at the same exact time he was presiding over a case involving the VP, with the Vice President himself. Besides, recounts happen every year in elections and they are age old in elections in the United States. Of the 170,000 votes that did not get registered in the first place, the independently done investigation by the LA Times, the Washington Post, the Orlando Sentential and the NY Times, reported a completed analysis of those un-read ballots. They found that almost 25,000 of those ballots should have been legal votes. Honestly, much like letting an MMA Ultimate Fight be decided by the three judges, rather than knocking the other guy out, the same goes in elections. The next time, it may be best to set up a campaign to blow out the GOP candidate rather than leaving it up to one state. The official margin for the Bush victory in that election was by 537 votes. Even though the Supreme Court in the state of Florida did reverse the decision of the Bush, Jr.. victory demanding a full recount, the GOP appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Three hours into the recount that December day last year, the U.S. Supreme Court stopped the recount, which is my point about him fundamentally that he should not have been in the White House in the first place. At the same time, however, I blame the Democrats for acting like wimps regarding how they dealt with the recount.

In addition to Bush, Jr. becoming the President of the United States that way, he also used bad intelligence to help get us into two unnecessary wars. Which, lets be real about these wars today, if we free ourselves from that dependency of us needing foreign oil so bad, we could fix up the United States infrastructure while at the same time, create tens of thousands of new jobs for people in the United States. If we were to raise the average fuel economy to 40mpg within the next decade from this year, we would be saving over four million barrels of oil every day. In perspective to our oil use today, the savings is more than what we import from the entire Persian Gulf region, combined with the equivalent amount that we could ever extract from the Arctic refuge. Plus, in the United States, the New Orleans levees failed, covering an entire major US city with water. Why does it also take more than a quarter of a year for people in New Orleans to get their trailers? We have bridges falling down in Minnesota and all over the U.S., let alone the ones that have not yet fallen into the ground or into certain waters. We have holes in the roads everywhere, with pot holes that need to be fixed in every state. The tactics to get us into these modern day wars have been corrupt, with no sense of direction for the military. All we ever needed to do since 9/11 was to get Bin Laden brought to some kind of criminal justice or killed. Bush, Jr.. was in office when Bin Laden alone orchestrated the destruction of a few U.S. Embassy’s, the USS Cole ship, four (4) commercial airlines, two of the tallest buildings in the largest U.S. city part of the Pentagon in DC which is directly aimed at our main U.S. Intelligence source for our military. Yet, the Bush strategy to enter these wars after this Ram loss to the Patriots in this year's particular Super Bowl game, is no different than any typical bait and switch tactic. It started with us going after Bin Laden, and then it somehow will be shifted to us getting Saddam Hussein. We had been told there are so many terrorists in Iraq, when in fact the only terrorists in that country were ones that are there now, as a result of the war. Although as I think about it today, in a weird twist of irony, the terrorists are not in the U.S. because of the war. This was part of the plan by Bush, Jr. to make us think it was because of the wars. He wanted to fight them over in those regions. If you do break it down in Iraq, the Balthus regime is the only one that could feasibly have ties to any threat of terrorism and to Saddam himself. However, of all of the three cultures in Iraq which is the Balthus, the Islamist Suni’s and the Islamist Shiats, they all share the same hatred not only towards each others groups, they also feel an equal hatred towards our American cultures and our ideals. The other thing is that these three cultures are all tied to religious parties in Iraq. I personally think that believing in religions is a neurological disorder because the bible is absurd to follow every day. Religion is much greater than all mature democracies and there is no other democracy that is as more closely tied to religion than the United States. Bush said he ran for President because God wanted him to do it. Not one other world leader would utter those words and religion prey on fear just like politicians preys on fear. We know that Iraq would not be much of fight against our troops, and we still do not have an end game in place for our troops. Our attacks should over take any one trying to battle us, and that is even more of a reason to plan the perfect ways to get out of these countries. This should be done way before we even consider to start up any war.

The last Democrat in the White house lied about getting a blow job. The GOP President lied about the weapons of mass destruction as a way to start a war. Look at the U.S. today, and forget about today, what is in store for the USA’s Military in the future? Do we go into all of these countries in the Middle East region? I also know how inefficient of a plan it is to deal this way. In one country alone, we spend 9 Billion Dollars annually when I feel we could use that money for security measures to protect us here in the United States. Look at 9/11 because that was planned and organized in Germany. The people that piloted the airplanes on 9/11 were trained in Florida while also having home bases in Boston, Massachusetts. Muhammad Ata and K.S.M. (Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) would go to the Internet Café in Hamburg, Germany, planning this attack for many years leading up to 9/11. We would not have known him to be an Al-Qaeda militant. Neither of them had any military experiences and in particular they were unhappy students that attended some school in Egypt. He figured out what the best flight schools were by going on the Internet. Yet somehow, that administration misconstrues everything about going into Afghanistan, parts of Pakistan and Iraq. What is next after invading these countries? Do we now go into Yemen, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Mali, Nigeria, Egypt, and Somalia? This way of dealing has been counterproductive for the U.S military forces during these wars. This is a very old way to look at a very new problem that we face today. We will never get out of Iraq. Our cold war’s last decades are where we have our military everywhere we had invaded over the last century. This is going to take decades to clear up with a lot of commitment, a lot of follow through by the American people, and it will take years of us being in Iraq. Also, the administration has been spending 1 Billion dollars annually in Afghanistan along with the Billion Dollars spent every week in Iraq. It is way more expensive for us to fully fund a 100,000 person army, compared to what it costs keeping us safe at home.

Now, for the recent elections in the modern years, the GOP and its people have tried implement exactly how they systematically won back in 2000, into law today. The voters suppression tactics were blatant during the last election and then ironically, it was the GOP calling out the Democrats for voters suppression activity. There were never any cases brought up versus any democrat for any type of voters suppression. Conversely, the GOP has been caught with this blatant corrupt ways they keep people from voting and hell, in one case, the GOP representative at some voting place, nipped it all in the bud so to speak, by throwing out trash bags of votes and voting cards. There was a voting machine that was taken away in Pennsylvania after it automatically gave the vote to the RNC candidate. No matter if you voted against it and/or no matter whether you did vote for another candidate, the vote went to the GOP'er. Hot women and hot girls I should say, were also caught on video point blank saying that she is there to get Romney and Ryan voters and that was it. My problem is that yes, anyone can win in a diabolical and in a corrupt way, but why do they (GOP/RNC) have to always be tricking its people (aka us) into gaining their votes? It's like how I used to cheat on tests back in college. I would have spent less time actually studying for the exam, rather than to scheme some way to skate by not going to class. It would have been a lot easier on my brain. But the point is that I don't get why they have to mislead people and then, out and out steal someones vote. They should just stop it with the lies to carry out the truth because Ill be damned if its not easier to upkeep the truth rather than having to follow up with every lie. Its certainly not democracy to be that way in America. The hypocrisy is through the roof because the same people that want to be considered as patriotic do the worst things for the USA. These same people cheat on and/or find loop holes to not pay full amounts of taxes. They stop people from voting in elections. They fixed so many districts in so many states to where its a majority of Republican voters as ways to gain House Of Representative Positions. How is acting that way considered to be patriotic?

Most of the middle class in America, has systematically been chipped away at since the 80's and since (Ronald) Reagan took the White House back in the 80s. However, from 2001 and up through the year 2007, some of the most corrupt laws were set in place. There were many other laws that were replaced without any regard for due process, and that brought the country down in every way. Private companies related to the war and private companies related to the war on drugs, financial people, and then everyone in the entertainment industry seems to be thriving today, however, entertainment people do NOT have its companies trade on Wall Street where its value is determined by the likes of how many criminals can be placed in that private establishment. Plus, no other industry was able to gain what are no bid contracts to rebuild what an ex Chairman of the Board whom is the same current shareholder of a company, and, is the current Vice President of the United States of America, ordered to blow up in the first place. The same person that gave the orders to knock down the buildings in this region of the world with bombs, is this same company that gets to rebuild it. The facts are that the Halliburton and the Xe Companies of the world, had profits that will soar during this war time at this same exact span of time. The bottom line is that Bush, Jr. schemed his way into the white house last year. The minute he started his work in the White House last year, he deregulated Wall Street giving those people with those jobs the ability to set up systems where no matter what investment they make in any way, these people still make money and lots of it. The financial world now has the ability to work both sides of every deal. They could NOT lose money if they tried to lose it. Also in his first year as the President of the United States, Bush, Jr. gave those temporary tax cuts that are still in place to this very day. He also sent us into two wars within a few years of him being in that office. Those wars have been left unpaid for to this modern day. However, his Vice President that did most of the work setting up these wars that were based on lies with false information given to them within that administration. He is also the shareholder and the ex Chairman of the company that was able to get what are called, no bid contracts to basically rebuild the edifices in the very same areas that we just knocked down with our bombs and weaponry. That private companies profits will grow huge in this same span of time. That same company is now also able to get around paying many of its taxes because of the loop holes set up by the very same person that was the ex chairperson at that company, and the current shareholder at that company, and is the current Vice President of the United States. Bush, Jr., and his administration also quickly eradicated any environmental law and procedure set up in place by previous Democratic administrations. They (Bush, Jr.. and Dick Cheney) also pushed for home ownership for everyone and therefore, deregulated certain financial statures to allow anyone to be able to get any type of home owner's loan. The Homeowner's industry then burst and crashed into oblivion, and is now just really starting to turn the corner as far as it being a viable industry in this modern day today. Bush
