I love to speak my mind, but with the temper of someone who realizes that I need to be open to other people’s opinions. My writing reflects this boldness and desire to record, in fictional terms, the issues and dangers that we as a people in our current society now face. Boldness speaks in terms that get readers’ attention. I strive to accomplish the goal of causing readers to consider what they believe and to open their minds to consider the peril of our ways so that we can take stock of the current direction of our lives.

So, how do you feel, just now? I wonder, have you stopped worrying about what just happen to the greatest economy of the world, indeed, the greatest economy of the history of the world, for that matter.

Where will it all take us? Could it be a set of predetermined action that are simply the latest and most far reaching actions, as once again, civilization is led like bleating, dumb sheep to an eventual socialist enclave where government is entrenched in every hidden and visible way. Could it all just ultimately bind us to the Culture of Death, or has it already?
