New comment on my book, "Trumplandia"

I just received the following comment on my book, "Trumplandia":

- "Okay, so I started reading your book again. I got to the part about fake photo, it was authenticated. Fake author thing. And then it goes into do no research, ask no questions, don't learn nothin' because learning will rot your brain.

You see this got me thinking about keeping people down. If they're not educated then they won't know of the injustices perpetrated against them. They're not ignorant just un-educated in order to keep them in a position that is beneficial to others but not them. In other words it made me think about slavery and how it was against the law to teach slaves how to read or write. It's easier to oppress a group of people if they are uneducated. If they are uneducated then they won't be able to question how they're being treated and used. Once they can read and write they can then see the injustices and start asking questions about how slavery is wrong. And then they'll want their freedom.

I know kinda deep but that's what that part of your book made me think about. Probably deeper than what you intended. But it fits!"

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
