So the point here is I bump into an individual who is the polar opposite of me. I was hanging out in Ireland and headed for the 'Rebel Bar' as the locals called it. I can't come to gripes with the Hamas Mentality and this guy did not sway my opinion. But here's the deal. We had a pint and treated each other with respect. There ya go!
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!"

Fear
If you don't stand up for yourself nobody else is going to do it for you. I bumped into this protest for peace. Kinda shocked at the naysayers in cars passing by with raised fingers. Civility is more than an eight lettered word. Right?

Poland?
Poland has opened up to the wave of suffering crossing over its borders and deserve high praise. When you see it, you feel it. Human Misery on social media doesn't convey the untold suffering going on when you face it. The World Community had its very principles assaulted by one man who underestimated one countries resolve to resist him with everything they have.

Sharing
If my stories have in anyway impacted you . . . please share. Now I'm off to a 'Rebel Pub'. More on that later.

Capturing the Truth
It's why I wrote my stories. Sitting down with soldiers and seeing the world through their eyes is bigtime. I wrote 'The Bee Killer' covering challenges individuals experience when they return to a 'normal' World.

The Beatles
Westminster was the place where all kinds of good vibes were produced. "All You Need Is Love" is one example. Sad, so sad to realize we have fallen short of this ideal. Many thanks to Abbey Road Studios for their time.
