| Introduction | I am a writer who finds himself very troubled with current day America, and my writings reflect this attitude. I worry that compassion, understanding, and fairness have been sold out, as well as the American people. There are so many facets to American culture and the American mindset. Decrying good and evil in our society and culture reflects our national soul. I look for the ever-searching American heart that aspires to peace and goodwill for all humankind. At all costs, good must prevail with humility. |
