This book is a collection of seven essays on topics that deserve our attention today. We live in trying times; so much so that it often makes one want to scream All over the world, people fight. "My way or the highway," seems to be everyone's motto. No one wants to listen to anyone else. Our world is not a loving place; if anything it is the opposite: a lusting place. Lust, masquerading as love, too often gets us into trouble. We hurt others, we break the law, we spread disease, we often get divorced when lust wears off, and then we break our children's hearts. Rape is a nasty power play. One person inflicts his desire to degrade or control on another. Rape has become more common; it's even part of the rewards of war This is evolution in reverse: the devolution of man. Women, out of dire necessity often choose to prostitute themselves; it is their bodies and they do have that right. Women-kidnapped, sold, or lied to about nonexistent jobs-are forced to become prostitutes. This is a crime worthy of strong punishment. Men who visit them may get a sexually transmitted disease and bring it home to their wives and children. As long as there is a demand for prostitutes, there will be a supply; it is futile to try and stamp it out. The answer is regulation and protection. Make it safer for the suppliers and the demanders. Birth is a natural process, making hospitalization unnecessary in most cases. Home births, unless complications are expected, are actually safer, and they more easily allow for the essential, skin-to-skin bonding between mother and baby, right after the birth. It is not surprising that crime and violence are escalating, especially among our children. Our children are violent because they learn by observation, and what they observe is not pretty. We must change their view. Schools need to do a much better job educating our children. As of now, they are truly failing our children. Single-sex classrooms have proven to be more effective in teaching both sexes than co-ed classrooms. Girls and boys learn differently, and if classrooms, or entire schools, are devoted to one sex, the teaching can be tailored appropriately. Separate can be equal and can lead to more equal opportunities. We are so into technology. It follows us and clamors for our attention no matter where we are. The cell phone is our best buddy. Televisions and computers are even in our bedrooms. They're fun, but they may be the ruin of us, especially television. Television messes with our ability to imagine; if we can't imagine, we can't learn. Read it and weep.
