Mitchell found my site long ago and learned about Steve Hoca through it. It was recorded on Christmas Day. I wonder why Steve did an interview on Christmas Day instead of spending time with his family with a banquet dinner table, warm fireplace, Christmas tree, and Christmas music in the background, while hugging relatives that come over? lol

Good interview, with lots of good points made by both people. I like the way that Mitchell points out how the state of affairs in the social life of the US goes above and beyond "social engineering," because of how extreme it has become.
I just talked to Mitchell for four hours the other day on the phone. Wow it was one of the deepest conversations I ever had. He and I were on the same page on nearly everything. He is also just as deep as I am, and is into speculating about things like metaphysical energy, vibes, consciousness of the land, etc. which most guys would not get into.
I should have recorded our four hour conversation. It would have been great for you all to listen to. But I don't know how to record Skype conversations or even phone conversations. Anyone know how to?
Mitchell told me that during the 70's, when he grew up, women in America were approachable. They didn't think that men were creeps and were not paranoid. If a guy approached them, they would not hold it against him for trying.
He recommended some great classic films for me to watch that depicted alienation in America. They are:
- Midnight Cowboy (with Dustin Hoffman)
- Looking for Mr. Goodbar (with Dianne Keaton)
- I'm as mad as hell (I cannot find this title though, maybe he misspelled it)
I looked them up and "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" is supposed to have the most horrific ending in cinema history. It's so bad that Richard Gere is trying to get the film removed off the shelves. lol. It's about a woman (played by Dianne Keaton) who goes to bars at night to get into abusive relationships and drugs.
"Midnight Cowboy" is about two guys, one from the country and one from the city, in New York City who are alienated by antisocial people and women. Here is the trailer for it:
