  1. Chev Thanks for starting a thread about this! I heard about it last night and shared it on some other sites and was debating whether or not to make a new thread about it OR post it in the thread that already existed where I was talking to Troy about the CIVIL WAR that the United States is currently in. This story isn't getting NEARLY as much attention in the main stream media (ABC, CNN, Fox, ect...) as it should be right now. Perhaps because it's only a day old, but I'm not sure. But if you notice, the main stream media aren't very quick to show CLEAR CUT cases of racism like this and the Breonna Taylor incident where the Caucasians are 100% at fault and there is no wiggle room to justify their behavior. They love focusing on cases like Rayshard Brooks or this NASCAR noose situation where they can pick and choose inconsistencies and any wrongful or questionable acts by the victim to make the racism look justified. With THIS case....as with Breonna....there is NO WIGGLE ROOM. So the White Supremacists are pretty quiet about it. As for the tape itself, I haven't really taken time to listen carefully to it to comment on it yet.
  2. I began writing Lucky John after years of being a sympathetic ear to my girl friends’ complaints and woes about married life. Being privy to the wives’ perspectives inspired me to write a story of marital infidelity from the husband’s point of view. John Roberts was born, and to my surprise, he evolved into a misguided, yet sympathetic philanderer. Set in Southern California, John Roberts is a husband and father with the risky habit of infidelity. But it isn’t John Roberts the adult running his life; it’s John Roberts the resentful and angry teenager calling the shots. Kicked out from his home after a backseat quickie left his girlfriend pregnant, John never forgave his father for abandoning him. After his father’s stroke, John travels back to a home he left behind in hopes of setting things straight. It doesn’t take him long to realize that everyone has moved on, and no one has time to indulge his decades old resentments. But that doesn’t stop him from pushing and testing the limits. Suddenly, John finds himself facing death, divorce, a dwindling business, and no idea how to correct the mess he’s made. Family histories, both proud and tragic, play out in the background as John tries to learn the hard act of forgiveness. Lucky John is my first novel, published by Black Rose Writing Desiree Kannel, author Pub date: June 18, 2020 ISBN: 978-1684335183
  3. Harry you don't want to talk to any teachers. Anecdotally, most kids do not live with their biological fathers, many don't even know him. This is not to say that these kids don;t have a man in the home, the guy just does not happen to be the father. The day of the married mother and father living with the children born of that union is a thing of the past. I'm not confident it is possible to go back to those days. So many people, have lived for generations, doing something completely different the concept of the traditional family unit is an anachronism, or something squares do. It is too bad cause society is still optimized for the traditional model, so life is just a little bit harder when you don;t conform..
