Synopsis
Biden’s social policies are in direct conflict with the principles and conduct of every revered figure of human compassion and worth that the world has ever known. His Doctrine holders have overturned the “melting pot” and installed a theocracy: “Everybody’s different; and should be treated differently — for the Greater Good — and WE will decide where and in what way that should be done.” I have no respect, and no trust, for a government that operates without principles, and in secret, and for an end only they can shape. All roads lead to Cornithaca . . . and down the drain. The proof is now in Cornithaca County. This book will help you keep on top of things until we reach bottom.

bio

Author Biography
I have no idea what is happening – it’s like throwing pennies off a bridge. I just can’t get comfortable – it seems like the only thing that connects my life and art together is pain – it’s painful when I put them together – and more painful when I pull them apart. In 2007 I quit straddling the pain, quit my job, and moved to a rural studio in New York State. I work on creative projects, work on my life, and work on the day-to-day necessities of existence. No cell phone, no social media, no networking. But as I work on the books displayed on this author’s page; I feel another kind of pain — the pain of not working on something else: my printmaking and drawing are being neglected, my poetry output is a dripping faucet, and it looks like I’ll be telling NYFA that the Idea Enhancement Project just added another year to its timeline. When I read what I’ve just written; it’s as true as anything I can think of — but then so is the opposite: I need to process everything that happens . . . September 8, 2021

Author Insight

“It was like that when I moved in.”

It’s hardly a problem in logic; but it’s a problem with our society. Not the self-serving lying — but the attitude that everything ends with you. • Compassion is no longer something that binds the community together; it’s something that flows from designated sources and institutions, and only to those who are considered worthy. • The “Us” of our current administration, like the “We” of previous royalty, does not refer to all; but to a single authority that rules all. • When told “we” have to make sacrifices; the first thought is not “what,” but “who?” • It was like that when you moved in — and will it be any better when you move out?
