Ethel Rohan, author of ‘Out of Dublin’ on Curt Rude's writing. "Overall, great writing style. Reminds me of Rushdie: internal, emotionally complicated, and dualistic. Delivered with a sensitivity and awareness that is underrated. In one word his work is Awesome!"

If Ya think it's funny but it's Not . . .
So let me challenge you faithful readers. Is this a funny joke . . . If a young mute signs offensive language does his mother have him wash his hands with soap? . . . or is this offensive?

Awards and 'The Bee Killer'
Hey this just in . . . The Bee Killer is up for several awards including The Masters - KWLS and New York's Boulevard Competition. Pumped. The Passionate Jihadist is currently under review by agents. How pertinent is this story? Well lets see here . . . it regards the matter of Urban Terrorism. Remember faithful readers that any day above ground is a good day. A Korean War Veteran told me that. RIP Shorty.

Don't We Owe 'em Something?
Take one War. Why is it that somewhere between 400,000 and 1.5 million vets ended up suffering to some degree with PTSD after experiencing Vietnam? I use this as an example because the figures have come home to roost.
Currently there are somewhere between 160 and 180,000 veterans caught up in the Justice System.
Have we used these folks for nasty purposes and then abandoned them, or, worst yet, labeled them as vile criminals?
Just one recent example . . .
regarding my motivation for writing The Bee Killer.

General Robert E. Lee on War
VICTIMs OR SUCKERs ? ?
12/8/18
America KILLs " 7,000 + Iraq
& AFGHAN VETERANs
EVERY YEAR for .. 15 yrs. ..
U.S. Veterans commit suicide
22 - 20 per day since
W. BUSH's 2003 Iraq War .
M.C.S.
I received this message from a reader and thought of Lee's comment regarding war.
"It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow to fond of it."
I would like to think my writing carries with it the responsibility of all point of views in matters of the truth.

Thanks to All!
Click & Read "The Bee Killer"
"A must read. When some have given so much of themselves, it is a small thing for us to do. To reach out and understand one horror of war. Many thanks to Mr. Rude for his effort."
The Beloit Readers
"Calling all to read before pointing fingers at our heroes. Killing and being killed bring about horrible changes in the best of us. This story is the first step in understanding the madness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder."

Santa says it Best
“We owe a debt of gratitude to men like this that have made such a life-changing decision to give up themselves, be willing to lay down their life even, for other people,” Santa explained to WTXF about why he wanted to take a knee for Smiley, a World War 2 veteran.

Somethings Never Change
Best guess for a year and name for who penned this piece of writing?
"My friend Collins therefore undertook to manage me. He agreed with the captain of a New York sloop for my passage, under the notion of my being a young acquaintance of his that had got a naughty girl with child, whose friends would compel me to marry her, and therefore I could not appear or come away publicly."
I'll let you in on the answer, tomorrow, and complete another reading from JusThis.
