Download or read book WE MUST RETHINK AND REINVENT THE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IN ORDER TO SAVE IT written by Donald G Fisher and published by Donald G Fisher. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American democracy will be under stress, for decades to come. If the American people do not take action, to save it, it will almost certainly cease to exist, at some point in the future. A nation's democracy is not held in place, by the laws of physics. It is an abstract concept that each person has in his or her mind. In our nation's history we have always had the problem of the people, who are living happy lives declaring that the United States is a great democracy, while the people living in slavery, and later under segregation, declaring, just the opposite. In my view the United States did not become a legitimate democracy, until the civil rights victories of the 1960's, were achieved. How can you say that my people were living in a democracy, when most of them were not allowed, to vote?

Book excerpt: When do you know for sure that you’ve become a parent? For Jenny Schoberl, it wasn’t when a human fell out of her lady parts or the first time her baby said “Mama.” It was when she found herself, a grown woman, hiding in the bathroom to eat a candy bar, just so she didn’t have to share. Parenthood changes people’s lives in horrifying and inevitable ways. No matter how hard you resist, you soon find yourself being that parent far too often to deny it. It won’t be long before mom jeans and minivans are calling your name. Discussing bowel movements over dinner? Guilty. Peeing with an audience? Check. Grocery shopping alone? Sounds like a tropical vacation! Watching cartoons hours after the kids have gone to bed? Now your only hobby! What do you do when motherhood turns you into someone you hardly recognize? When you open your mouth and, holy hell, your mother comes out? Kids Are Turds proves that you don’t need to be Super-Mom to be a “good” mom (whatever that is), but you absolutely do need a sense of humor to get through the hard days. Either that, or you can give in, yank up your mom jeans, and rock a mile-long camel toe. So for the love of retinas everywhere, be strong!

His characters are captivating. Well-rendered dialogue keeps the pace moving quickly to its logical and deadly conclusion... A real gripper with an intricate and refreshing twist on an old theme." Feathered Quill Book Awards Judges' Comments: "The Circle is creepy... action-packed and very mysterious... not a story to forget." H.P. Waitt - Author of Band of Shadows: The Scarlet Onyx Saga "As a novel it has everything a reader could want: deeply developed characters you fall in love with (and characters you hate), a rapidly advancing plot that leaves you on the edge of your seat, and a jaw-dropping twist that even the most seasoned of thriller lovers won't see coming. I enjoyed every minute of it and can't want to see what's next - a sequel cannot come soon enough!" - Shanna O'Mara - The Navesink Journal "The Circle has the rapid progression and intense appeal of the ever-popular Divergent and The Hunger Games, but is laced with enough realism to plant the seed of fear -- or at the very least, mild suspicion -- in any reader now overanalyzing the world outside the book. Galgon brings to life a protagonist we can all root for and pity, a man whose background we can relate to but whose future we can only pray we never see. Highly recommend for any thrill-seeker or mystery lover! IMAGINE YOU HAD ALL THE MONEY YOU EVER WANTED at the push of a button. The power to control law enforcement, politicians at the highest levels, the judicial system as a whole. To have what you want when you want it, whatever it is. All you have to do is kill someone . . . before someone kills you. MEMBERS of THE CIRCLE don’t have to imagine such a life. They live it. The liberation of being both hunter and hunted. The salvation that comes with such freedom. A chance to feel truly alive. A chance to savor each precious moment. Because in THE CIRCLE any moment could be your last. DOUGLAS GOODWIN isn’t rich. He isn’t powerful. What could the sacred society of THE CIRCLE possibly want with him—just a regular guy with a regular job leading a regular life? What would drive them to coerce a young man who has always valued integrity over hedonism into their midst? And why would Doug agree to submersion in a world of secrecy and murder? It’s unthinkable. THE HARSH REALITY? Doug has been inducted into an institution where friends become enemies overnight, loyalty is a nothing more than a punchline, and conscience is a burden. Where he will be hunted and expected to hunt other members to their death. With no escape from THE CIRCLE’s ubiquitous influence and domination. HOW FAR WILL DOUG GO? How much will he sacrifice to preserve his way of life? Will he be swayed by the money, the women, the power? Or will THE CIRCLE consume him, as it has hundreds of others before him, and leave nothing but another nameless corpse in its wake?

Book excerpt: Notes from Triada Investment Meeting: As compiled by Scarlett Evans—executive assistant, grad student, and reluctant admirer of CEO Nick Hart's snacktastic abs Well, my fellow corporate drones, it's another less-than-exciting investor meeting with the executives (Loud Talker, Human Buzzword, Master Delegator). And at the front, CEO Nick Hart, the world's coldest—and ok, unbelievably sexy—tech badass. The man hasn't smiled in the history of ever, he runs a tight ship filled with miserable employees, and gosh, he just really does not love feedback. Especially from me. Development updates, acquisition delays, and...holy hell, why does he keep looking at me? I don't work for him. I work for his brother. Which is good, because otherwise I'd spend every meeting secretly wondering what actually lies beneath that cool, aloof demeanor. Like, is he an uptight geek in the boardroom...and a sexy-assed freak in the bedroom? He'd better not find out I'm the one stuffing the company suggestion box. What's so wrong with a Valentine's Day Social, anyway? But the fact that my notes are less professional and more entertainment is one seriously dangerous game. Because if he ever found out what I really thought of him, there'd be all kinds of sweet, delicious hell to pay... Each book in the Harts series is STANDALONE: * Miles and Miles of You * Not Today, Cupid

Book excerpt: Chris Rock. Jamie Foxx. Steve Harvey. Dave Chappelle. Some of the biggest names in American entertainment today all appeared at Raymond Lambert's club All Jokes Aside, the legendary Chicago showcase for African-American comedy, early in their careers. This insightful memoir follows up on Lambert's critically acclaimed 2012 Showtime documentary, Phunny Business, and tells the story of his life as seen through the lens of All Jokes Aside—its successes, failures, and lessons learned. By the late 1980s, Lambert was earning a six-figure salary as an investment banker on Wall Street, but dreamed of starting his own company. With zero experience, an equally committed partner, and a little borrowed money, he opened All Jokes Aside, and before long was helping to launch some of the biggest names in comedy. This is story of Lambert's journey, a behind-the-scenes look at the world of show business, and an inspiring tale for any would-be entrepreneur. Chock-full of cautionary tales both humorous and dramatic, revealing details on the early careers of top performers, and tangible guidance on how to build a business from the ground up, this book is a much-needed recent history of black entertainment and a powerful memoir of entrepreneurial ups and downs.
