About the Book
THIS BOOK IN SIMPLE COMMON SENSE LANGUAGE, LARGE PRINT. IT IS EASY TO ABSORB AND REMEMBER. IT IS CLOSEST TO REAL COMMON SENSE EXPERIENCE. THE WORST PROBLEMS FACING AMERICA TODAY ARE NOT JUST: "TOO BIG TO FAIL" COMPANIES, MONOPOLIES, TERRORISM, FOREIGN RELATIONS, THE ECONOMY, JOBS, RACISM, LAW AND ORDER, WELFARE, GLOBAL WARMING, ENERGY, POLICE BRUTALITY DRUGS, EDUCATION, HEALTH AND MEDICAL CARE AND INSURANCE, ABORTION, NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION, GUN CONTROL, SOCIAL SECURITY, NATIONAL DEBT, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, OR FAMILY BREAKDOWN. SOME PEOPLE THINK IT IS STUPIDITY, AND "DUMBDOWNEDNESS," BY OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM. IT IS ALSO THE LACK OF THE USE OF COMMON SENSE, THAT POLITICIANS ARE GUILTY OF, IN APPROACHING THESE PROBLEMS. COMMON SENSE GOES OUT OF STYLE, LIKE IT HAS IN POLITICS, BUT IT IS NEVER OUTDATED! COMMON SENSE IS WHAT MADE AMERICA GREAT, UNIQUE, AND MOST ENVIED IN THE WORLD! OUR JUDEO-CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND LAWS WERE BASIC COMMON SENSE UNTIL THE 1950'S. SINCE THEN, POLITICIANS HAVE PASSED LAWS AND REGULATIONS THAT HAVE KILLED OUR UNIQUENESS AND DEFIED SANITY! RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, OUR RIGHTS, ESPECIALLY THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS, ARE THREATENED BY POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND LACK OF COMMON SENSE! TWO THINGS CAN BE DONE TO SOLVE AMERICA'S PROBLEMS. 1. AMERICA NEEDS COMMON SENSE NOW! PEOPLE USED TO LEARN BASIC COMMON SENSE FROM THEIR PARENTS YEARS OF HARD WORK. I AM TRYING TO PRODUCE THE NEXT-BEST THING, IN THIS BOOK! MOST GOOD PARENTS TODAY, LEARNED GOOD COMMON SENSE FROM WHAT THEIR PARENTS DID RIGHT, OR IN SOME CASES; DID WRONG. NOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE LEARN "STREET SENSE"; SOME GOOD; SOME BAD: SOME FATAL! YOU DON'T BECOME A GOOD PARENT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE KIDS. COMMON SENSE MUST BE USED AND PASSED ON TO CHILDREN. I AM TRYING TO "EXPOSE" MY 50 YEARS OF COMMON SENSE EXPERIENCE TO AMERICANS WHO HAVE MISSED IT. "EXPOSE", BECAUSE NO ONE CAN OR "MAKE" ANYONE ELSE USE COMMON SENSE. THEY HAVE TO BE EXPOSED TO IT AND DECIDE WHAT COMMON SENSE IS BEST FOR THEM. WHAT WILL THIS "NEWLY-EXPOSED" COMMON SENSE SHOW THEM ABOUT RESPECT? LIFE IS A TWO-WAY STREET GOING BOTH WAYS. YOU HAVE TO GIVE RESPECT TO GET RESPECT. IF YOU DIDN'T GET IT ALL, THE FIRST TIME AROUND; THIS IS A GREAT REFRESHER COURSE; OR SAVE SOMEONE A LOT OF PAIN, TIME, AND COST; EXPOSE THEM TO THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK IS THE COMMON SENSE "GOOGLE" OF THE REAL WORLD. A LIFETIME OF COMMON SENSE PACKED IN A COUPLE OF HOURS. THE REAL COMMON SENSE WORLD; NOT THE FANTASY WORLD YOU LEARN FROM "GOOGLE"! 2.GET RID OF MONOPOLIES "TOO BIG TO FAIL" COMPANIES HAVE KILLED THE MIDDLE CLASS IN AMERICA. THEY HAVE MADE THE RICH, RICHER, AND THE POOR, POORER. THEY HAVE CRUSHED COMPETITION AND KILLED THE MIDDLE CLASS FROM OWNING INDIVIDUAL BUSINESSES WHICH GAVE YOUR FAMILY AND LOCAL LOYAL EMPLOYEES, A DECENT WAGE.
