You got this far, but not far enough to try my book. Why? The ten bucks?
You enjoy chat rooms, e-mail, and other web goodies, but perhaps you believe
you don't know enough
for technical discussions or that what you think doesn't matter.
Perhaps human problems overwhelm you. Change your mind.
I'm told that before anyone joins Alcoholics Anonymous,
they admit they are an alcoholic. Until they acknowledge
what they are, they can't begin the journey back.
Acknowledging who "we" are poses different
problems. It is fashionable to believe that despite homelessness, teen suicide, serial
killing and toxic waste, the United States represents humanity at its finest.
Why seek social change when we live in the best of all possible worlds?
If you are unhappy with the way things are; if, like many,
you are a paycheck or so from bankruptcy; if you see yourself in a rat race and do
not wish to be a rat, what to do? If your answer is "nothing", brace
yourself for more of the same.
Try my book. Read it. Change
your mind. Can you abandon long held beliefs? Sure, but it's not easy.
If not today, maybe tomorrow.
