The most sophisticated weapon in the world is the human voice, more often than not it also the most damaging. The power of the voice can be used to bless or to destroy, it can be used to spread truth or lies, to speak peace or violence, to encourage or tear down, to build nations or pillage countries. Without the power of a voice you can become vulnerable, weak, and helpless. Your thoughts, requests, and protests, go unheard. That's what makes a democracy strong; each person has a voice in their vote. It's the manner that we choose and communicate with our representatives.
Today we are in a precarious position because our leadership is no longer trustworthy. Their voices are loud but they don't tell us the truth, whether it be by omission or blatant lies. Most have gained their elevated positions of leadership through the power of persuasion, deftly convincing us they have all the answers. Politicians are masters of this game. They compellingly communicate all the things we yearn to hear, some are honest, others are downright deceitful. From my perspective, their deeds are more self-centered than noble. In the 21st century, more power-seeking voices have become increasingly brazen, distorting the facts, misrepresenting truths, and threatening to undermine hundreds of years of advancement for personal and privileged interests.
In the political arena, the truth has been stretched and twisted to the extent that it is totally unrecognizable. Adolph Hitler said, Make the lie big. Make it simple. Keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. The reason that most of us are quiet is because we don't possess enough information to participate in the conversation. We need to have a basic understanding of the serious issues facing this country and we can't trust our leaders or the privately owned press to tell us the truth.
We the people are America; we are not cattle to be corralled, not wild animals to be herded, nor a population of geese to be driven out. We are the citizens of the United States. As such, we must become more proactive in addressing the significant issues that affect our everyday lives. The repercussions are dire lest the line between life in the U.S. and life in a third world country becomes blurred and we suffer the issues that concern them, poverty, quality drinking water, hunger, pollution, healthcare, and social and cultural exclusion.
This books discusses the truths and mistruths of eighteen controversial subjects that we as citizens should carefully explore: democracy, capitalism, voting rights, income inequality, greed, entitlement programs, outsourcing, wages and inflation, gun control, the criminal justice system, global warming, affirmative action, education costs, paying college athletes, Iraq and ISIS, War, and the Barack Obama Presidency. It's now critical for us to define and clarify our understanding and beliefs on a number of fundamental issues before we can make an educated choice on whom we will listen. We can't continue to cast ours votes based on name recognition. William Faulkner, a great American writer said, "Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth."

Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
