LOL, I have been tempted about a year ago! I desperately tried to rescue this stray cat, but ran into a lot of opposition, in my family and etc. No, but one of my 'two' cats was lost about a year ago. He was lost for about six weeks, and it was one of the most miserable times of my life. Fortunately, I received a call from a man who worked at a company, about a mile away, who rescued my cat and warmed up to him and was able to read his tag. Years, ago, the cats were strays that my son claimed originally, but he went off to college and left them with me! My neighbor had a step-daughter that kept stray cats, but she hated cats and put the two cats in my yard because she did not want them, and my son became attached to the cats.

No I completely reject your point. On a fundamental level I reject the notion that the accumulation of wealth is the only reason one gets an education -- indeed if that is one's primary reason to get an education they are missing the point of an education. An uneducated amoral person can get wealthy. This statement reveals an lack of basic understanding of the differences between public and private institutions. Perhaps, but I think you are lowering them. I suspect most American's, who live from pay check to pay check fancy themselves as being in the middle class where in reality they are poor and lower class. I think you are looking at class distinctions the wrong way. You seem, based upon your statements, to be dividing the nation up by 1/3rds based upon wealth. so the folks in the highest 1/3 are upper class. The reality is that most American are in the lower class (no savings and minimal or negative net worth). The middle class has been shrinking for decades and the upper class is indeed a very small percentage of people who exert tremendous power and own almost everything. The upperclass are not the people you, or most American would know personally or encounter, unless you serve them directly as a maid or entertainer -- they live completely separate lives -- different schools, neighborhoods, etc

You can't pull you titles off Amazon. Amazon will just sell them through 3rd parties who pop up like whack-a-moles. I don't normally include Kindle only titles on the site -- unless an authors pays to have me add them. The reason is because It re-enforced Amazon's monopoly on eBooks. I'll write up a short article once I finally cut the cord with Amazon. I don't plan to renew my Prime account either. Let me know how you make out removing your titles from Amazon. Maybe once you do this I'll drop my Amazon links. I really wish Libros and B&N would step up their game though. Libros is new so I get it, but B&N's, who was first out the gate with an online bookstore executed terribly. Maybe if more people do what you doing we can have a chance.= to end Amazon;s stranglehold over the sale of Black books Check out this letter to Amazon's Audible on The Tattered Cover Bookstore (a great store BTW) in Denver: Dear Audible, I feel torn writing this, because we’ve had so many good times. We’ve been through so much together. I really mean that. Remember that road trip to Minneapolis, where we drove through the night, and you helped keep me awake? And those early mornings at the gym on the elliptical with the sounds of my favorite authors and stories? I will always cherish those times. I want you to know that.

Brother Troy you are awesome!!😎 Thank you so much!! I recorded it at home. Next time I think I'll try to rent a studio.)I used FindawayVoices for remastering and sale. They sell through a lot of vendors (like Libro). So, far they seem to be okay. Authors can sign up to use them through Smashwords or directly from their site. https://findawayvoices.com/ I opted to read my book myself. Narrators are expensive and who knows my characters better than me? BTW: I can't stand Amazon either. Right now, Quinton and are working on moving all our titles from Amazon to Barnes & Noble and it's like pulling teeth.
