AMERICA'S PERFECT STORM

THIS BOOK IS ABOUT POLITICS AND AMERICA'S SOCIETY. Part l focuses on what happened to America during the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses health, economy, social justice, and leadership issues. Part ll focuses on the 2020 and 2024 elections, leadership, cultism, criminality, and making wise choices.

When the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in America, we lived in a perilous time that threatened our very existence. Our health was endangered like we had not seen in over one hundred years, our economic system became increasingly frazzled each day, and racial justice in our society continued to erode with each passing hour. The convergence of the pandemic, the economic and social injustice issues, and Feckless Leadership brought us to that place just as the confluence of two weather systems spawned Hurricane Grace, a Nor'easter involving weather from the tropics and the Canadian Maritimes. The Andrea Gail, a fishing boat, was sunk in 1991 with its entire crew off the New England coast by 100-foot waves produced by Hurricane Grace. The confluence of the two colliding weather systems was dubbed the Perfect Storm.THE 2020 ELECTION helped to abate the storm, however, the threat of it has returned in 2024. THE WRONG POLITICAL DECISION WILL CAUSE US TO SINK LIKE THE ANDREA GAIL CREW.

I AM A RETIRED UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATOR AND FACULTY MEMBER. I SPENT ALMOST 40 YEARS TEACHING, ENCOURAGING AND PERSUADING THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE DECENT HUMAN BEINGS. MY HOPE IS THAT THEY WILL FIND THE COURAGE TO SUSTAIN THAT DECENCY DESPITE THE POLITICAL VITROL THAT ENCOMPASSES THEM.
