DNC members awake and devour this

Revisado: 11-30-24

Read immediately after completing The Quite Damage by Jesselyn Cook. I only regret I did not read them much sooner. It’s sad that our “wake” leaders evidently did not either.
Obviously they felt they could battle an existential attack with an ethical powder puff.
Both works are seminal to understanding our transactional dysfunctional culture. And our mantra must be fight fire with fire not assume everyone is able to be educated.
Regrettably at 82 I’ve discovered that’s not the way it works

Eighty-one year fifty generation blue Texan

Revisado: 10-26-23

First off Mr.Wright is not only a Texas treasure is a national treasure. I cannot wait for this to be made into a movie and to go into my library right next to best Little whorehouse in Texas.
If you draw a line from Elpaso 20 miles north of Austin and stop at Port Arthur. This is a Texas your read about. Dare you not to laugh cry and have goosebumps.
Note to be where I listen to the audible book the introduction says there’s two books there may be the second book has the music, but I had to search for calling Audible because it comes on after the credits at the end you only download one book and the music is straight from Lamar Boulevard. I know you’ll enjoy this and you bleed orange when you get through it have fun.

…for the love of the game

Revisado: 10-08-23

That’s why they played according to what is quoted about Cool Papa Bell and many others.
Look at YouTube interview with John “Mule”Miles if want to see a legend who passed a decade ago.
These men played much more than a game, they “played” to make the country what it was meant to be. For their and our sake I hope we can continue this endless task.

This is the elixir our nation so needed. The faith she gave me in young people is a gift I shall cherish eternally.

Better as a short story

Travel log aspect interesting, apologies for zeitgeist of the milieu not so much. Listening at 1.5 speed was my strategy.

Simply Awesome

Revisado: 05-13-23

Having growing up in this era I only remember these things in passing. This wonderful book elucidates, and ties so many loose ends together that my understanding is enhanced immensely.
I recommend this to everyone who is interested in the current state of affairs, and how we might circumvents them and learn from them by reading this wonderful book

Long but worth every minute

Revisado: 03-09-23

things I should’ve known, but never didn’t know this book taught me. The author unknown to me but fluid and rewrites like a novelist.
Born in 1942 I never knew the background and backstory of the first two decades of my life. Things for whatever reason I didn’t learn while I was in college and graduate school. I can now readily find on the Internet that’s the positive side of the Internet.

WOW…

Jobs last word, Hayakawa …who doesn’t know history is bound to repeat it and then Clemons it might not repeat itself but it does rhyme.
Obviously at age 80 I should have known more about Mr. Cicero now thanks to Mr. Everett I do.
I must also thank all previous reviewers here. The vast majority of whom were erudite, elucidating and enticing. They prodded me to move forward and I graciously express my gratitude.
After all this I’m left with a burning question; who will be our generations Cicero?

Brilliant Beautiful Beneficial.

This work was so educational I cannot believe that I had never heard of the reasoned arguments in my 79 years of being on this earth.
I plan on recommending this work to anyone who will take the time to listen to me. Thank you Mr. Manchester

Overall all amusing to iterated how we have come and how we have to go. In this age of immanent CRT I would love to be a fly on

Revisado: 07-16-21

to ponder how we have journeyed so far from 1949.
It would be so interesting to be a fly on the wall in a conversation today between William and and his son Christopher, however we know this is not gonna happen but in the age of CRT we can see the handwriting on the wall if we live through the trauma. In the meantime at 78 all I can do is watch the beautiful Ms. Hoover on PBS and see how she handles it
I only wish I would’ve read this book 40 years ago not that it would have changed my mind but would have articulated my arguments further.
Cliché that people don’t get what they deserve but rather deserve what they get. I fear for that in the year 2021.
