As the signs of the demise of the American Empire compound, I wonder if the people who have either called or thought of me as a doomsayer still think I was being hyperbolic. I wonder if, when I explained to those same people that I self-identified as an Optimistic-pessimist (as defined in the Regaining American Democracy (R.A.D. dictionary that they now understand why I believed most metrics of American life for most Americans was trending in a negative direction.
In light of how bad things have gotten in America and around the world, I wonder if the people I've tried to wake up for more than a decade now understand why I was so adamant about the need to ignore "reality" shows like the Kardashians, The Bachelor and the plethora of other mind-numbing distractions that allow one to ignore impending wars with nuclear powers, unsustainable open borders, trillions of Dollars pushing the U.S. towards hyperinflation, foreign policy that pushes allies away and enemies together?
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
