It should be! Almost a 1/4 of a million people have died in the U.S. of A. alone! Not to mention those you much now live with longer term health challenges {sigh} oh brother. Unlike the vast majority of American, 45 has the best physicians available. Many of us will just have aspirin to deal with this virus Of course, this should always be a goal, but it is not a short term solution, you see that right? Danielle we know you equate Covid-19 to the flu. While this is patently false, we also know facts, indeed nothing, will change you mind on this issue. This is a curious statement, on several levels, for you to make but I'll leave it alone.

This is an interesting campaign, but anything short of a boycott of Amazon is a waste of time. Read more: http://bit.ly/BOXEDOUT

Point me to your website, where I can learn more about the book, Auntie I Don’t Want You To Get Married and share and share an ISBN so I can look it up.

Because religion is mythology and science is applied logic.

I doubt it too, but thus may be me projecting my thoughts. Both American and Chinese leaders may be up for an armed conflict. I take China at their word regarding the detention of U.S. citizens.

Well that is the thing; I think we are "modern privatives" now. I was to think like the ancient enlightened. If you consider the pyramids, and when they were built, surely the civilization that built those knew something we do not know today. Maybe I don't know enough about any of these subjects, but logic and science, and religion and mythologic seem like better pairings

Do you mean keywords for your book's metadata or a book's webpage's keyword metadata?

No, that is a stupid consideration. Practically speaking Daniellefny, there is no difference. No one is mandated to take a flu shot, so that is different. I never had the flu nor have a taken a flu shot. Perhaps if I got the flu I'd feel differently. Covid has demonstrated itself to be at least an order of magnitude more deadly than the flu and that is with all the precautions we have taken. If there is a vaccine, it will be useless against protecting the population unless enough of us take it. Now I completely understand people being anxious to sign up for a particular vaccine that has been rushed into production. This is a problem. I guess when all these diseases like polio, small pox, measles, whooping cough and the like come back then people will be clamoring to force people to get vaccinated. I guess people don't know enough history to understand how deadly these deceases are, and how much misery they caused.

Reality TV is not real.

Marriage is a legal construct, but ignoring the legal constraints. I do agree consenting adults should not be forced to embrace only a livelong monogamous, heterosexual, relationship. If four dudes wanna get "married" to each other -- let 'em go for it! As long as they don't bother forcing their morality down my throat and pay their taxes -- who cares. As far as Ice Cube and Jared, I've ignored that story.

Man do you think it is the same today? Maybe Canada can be my next stop after Tulsa 😉 Seriously, why so many Black people feel compelled to go to Europe always escaped me. If you are looking for women go to Africa or DR sisters are waiting their with open arms

So @Pioneer1 will the modern day School House Rock video motivate you to vote? Barack should have hired this Brother to spread this message during the first midterms after his election. Seriously. After the midterms Barack talked about getting shellacked when he should have been helping people understanding the importance of voting not just for him but for the people in the Senate and House. Maybe he did do that and the media did not cover it.... I still doubt Black people will come out to vote for this ticket the way they come out to vote for Obama. I doubt Black women (save the AKAs) will come out to support Kamala the way they did Obama. It will be really interesting to compare the Black female turn out for Obama versus Harris.

Some of us, but most of us don't seem to be successful at it. I try to limit the amount of bad news I expose myself to, but it is hard when you work online.... There is always cause for hope, helps keep one sane -- maybe that is why that stuff always interested me 😉 That just means it is revolutionary to them. Clearly the ancients had a more profound knowledge of the heavens and the natural world. I wish I could go back in time and experience that period. People demonstrate a tremendous ability to question something they are told. The real question is who and what they choose to believe and why they may or may not consider alternatives -- or simply be satisfied with not knowing.

Hi Amy, AALBC actually boycotts Amazon and, as a result, we don't allow links to their site. They never allowed links to AALBC, so it is only fair right? You are encouraged to links visitors to your website to learn more about your ebook.

Anyone who has read anything I've written over the past decade knows I attribute the dearth of web-based book sites directly to Google's perversion of their search engine. Despite the cute little video Google supported for one small indie bookstore. The article referenced, and the video below, is on the money. The example used is for Tee Shirts, but the case for book is actually worse, because Google has it's own bookstore. The article could go much deeper by describing how people are also hurt because businesses that they might have enjoyed have been hobbled or have destroyed because Google has rendered them invisible in search, unless they can pony up advertising dollars. When you are competing against Amazon, the way a bookseller might have to, for ad space even advertising is not a viable option. Ranking in search is every harder. The notion that a web based bookseller has to be more skilled in SEO that selling books is just crazy. As the video states, Google search engine was much better in the past. This is one reason they were propelled into a virtual monopoly. However, today they have taken advantage of their monopoly in search and this is to our collective detriment. The problem is no one really seems to care. Well they may care, but they feel like they are helpless to do anything about it, or nothing they can do will ultimately matter. It is the same sentiment that people who choose not to vote often express -- what difference will it make? I'll already boycott Amazon and social media for (personal content) and I really should boycott Google too. But these companies are so pervasive, large, and powerful you can't realistically run a web based business and boycott them all. For all practical purposes, in 2020, the WWW is Facebook, Google, and Amazon. From today's Washington Post: How does Google’s monopoly hurt you? Try these searches. Right under our noses, the Internet’s most-used website has been getting worse

... escalating tensions with China. From the NYT: WASHINGTON — Chinese officials have told the Trump administration that security officers in China might detain American citizens if the Justice Department proceeds with prosecutions of arrested scholars who are members of the Chinese military, American officials said.

The elimination of polio outrageous? You antivaxers are a curious bunch.

Were are a bundle of stimuli and responses based upon a combination of our environment and genetics. This includes any thoughts we have about our thoughts, which are interesting to ponder but we don't have control over them. Any sense that we do is an illusion an adaptation which keeps us from going insane.

You should put all these little lessons in a book 🙂 So what does your polygamous world look like? How many wives can you have. Does a Bill Gates get like 1,000 while broke negroes get none? Do you get to have several of your wives pleasuring you at a time orgy-like or is it one at a time? Is there a hierarchy, like a bottom girl or would it be more democratic?

Black people in/from white environments do it.

Covid rage on -- Defintely not. Mandatory vaccines I can continue to live with.

Leave out the bit about white racists and we are probably on the same page. You may have mentioned your complexion, but I may never have read it. I seem to remember you giving Cynique grief about her complexion but I could be wrong.

@Pioneer1 Polygamic is not in anyone's DNA it is purely a cultural construct like race. Everyone takes part in raising children's today the Pandemic has revealed just how dependent families are on teaches and schools to help them raise their kids. Sure it takes a village to raise a kid it always has. You keep trying to shoe horn "All Africans" into a type. But you have to understand Africa is the most ethnically, genetically, and culturally diverse continent on Earth. Why are you so fixed on Polygamy? I know I did not want multiple wives -- lawd knows one can be a challenge LOL! Have you been married or are you married?

Because it was, same goes for soda. Yeah, but I think it is generational rather than racial. Though I have to admit I see red bull in white bars more so than Black ones.

This attitude is no different than the religious zealots who predict that the end of the world is nigh... for the last millennia. Look, America will end. That is certain, for everything ends. But if you are banking on this election or anything in the short term to usher in a revolution, you will be disappointed. The results of this election will certainly not result in the collapse of America. So stop hoarding canned goods, water, and ammunition you will be fine-n-dandy for the rest of your lifetime.
