Whoa

I came across your book and feel it has strong potential to reach a wider audience. I’d love to support you in promoting it and introduce it to my reader community.

Ukraine

Met a film maker and a man off the frontlines in Ukraine yesterday. Sobering. I was told . . . "War takes it out of you". Gotta tell you the stories shared 'took it' out of me. Haunting.

Just Calling it The way I see it . . .

So am I an influencer? No. I'm an author who makes the most outta this thing called life. I travel (Ran around Germany, Austria, Italy and Spain. Now I'm hoping to meet up with a Ukrainian Official Saturday. Then plans are in place to hit Norway and Brussels later on. So no. I'm not into 'influencing' at all, but, just put thoughts out there and respect others and their thoughts. Good question. 

Losing My Touch?

I'm usually good for 1 outta 5 comments being dumped as too offensive for the community. I call it the way I see it however. Suddenly I'm not getting spanked. Whatever.

Here's One outta left Field

We explore the human mind on this site. That's it in a nutshell. So riddle me this Batman. Why do some like taking their shirts off at football games? Then you have the face painting business. In Buffalo folks were jumping off trucks smashing tables. What does this mean?   

Desensitized to The Second Amendment

Pregnant girl shot while her brother is murdered, before the shooter kills himself. At one time this would have been bigtime media fodder. This all occurred in smalltown America, Barron Wisconsin. We are all potential targets, as our elected leaders prepare to fight over the budget. So sad.

Today Barron

Can you believe it? A pregnant women, her brother and the shooter. So sick of this. 

Brand of Justice

To think . . . there are some in Montana who have voiced an opinion that I must be stomped out for giving a child killer a voice. I have done so in an effort to discover what would compel a person to commit such an act. It's where my voice finds its footing. Another example would be found in discussing what it was like to flee a school that was under fire. I listen during these encounters. This was my first novel and one, where you can see, I pursue the truth.

Lord Acton, a British historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries shared his thoughts about power. He had deep feelings about power and its ability to corrupt. The proverb, “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” means that whenever a person has power over other people or things, it makes him/her corrupt. This testament, for obvious reasons pertains to some police officers. A badge—symbolizing power—is pinned to their chest and they waddle into society for better or worse. Officer Francesco Vincent Serpico exposed corruption back in the day. Now, retired Officer Curt Rude, does the same when he focuses on sexual misdeeds of those who serve and protect.

The police profession has its share of individuals who had neither the inclination or ability to fulfill their desires before becoming police officers. Some were perhaps meek and mild; the last to be chosen for a team on the playground. After years of perceived humiliation and frustration they realize formal power can deliver them into an intitled life. They eagerly settle into a job that involves having others answer to them. It can be an exhilarating experience that leads to excess and trouble.

Though some have readily stated this work is an interesting read, but not plausible, one only needs to consider the deeds of Minnesota State Trooper Robert Leroy Nelson. While on duty, he offered eighteen-year-old Michelle Busha a ride after witnessing her being dropped off by a vehicle along Interstate 90. Busha was raped, beaten, tortured and strangled with a ligature. Her fingernails were removed while she was still alive and her head had been shaved, except for an area on the back of the head, which was left about an inch long.

It is hoped that an increase in knowledge, regarding issues some may find disturbing, results in a safer world for all.
