I've written three books since 2000, (all published as e-books, one also in paperback). Each book contains commentaries, most of which were originally posted on this web site, and each contains comments or writings that were never posted to this site. The e-books contain reference links which I consider an integral part of the work. —Mark Titles of the three books, and a quote from each, are as follows: |

The Answer... |
"...and if you haven't the courage to tell the truth, or the consciousness to honor the truth, or the love to love the truth, then one day you will not have the truth to tell, and soon thereafter you will not live in a place that will acknowledge the truth when it is told, and not long after that the truth will not be told, for it will no longer be allowed. You cannot hope to be a traitor to life, and then expect to live in a free and just society." |
| The Critical Choice... Available without cost as a PDF file. Includes commentaries from the fall of Baghdad until June of 2004. |
"When an elected official takes his oath of office, he gives his word that he will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Any individual who makes a personal decision to take office and then not abide by the guiding principles established under the Constitution and the body of law that follows from it, and favors instead his own interpretation of some other law, e.g., religious law... he violates both his oath of office and the law he tells himself he's following." |
| Broke and
Broken... Available as a PDF file. Includes commentaries from the disclosures about Abu Ghraib until December 2005 including overviews of what has happened to our country, the Constitution, and the rule of law, particularly since the Bush administration came to power in 2000. |
"The
greatest danger the American people face now are not
terrorists, but the possibility that you [Cheney] and Bush will
not be impeached. For every day, while the American
people sleep—ignorant and unaware of your gross
infidelity—the rest of the world is looking at the
photographs of burned, disfigured, and dismembered
children, and they are beginning to believe that it is
not just you and your administration who did this to
them, but also our elected representatives, and the
American people at large... because so far, we have
allowed you to keep doing it with impunity. And given
the anger and hatred for the injustice that they've been
made to suffer, one can easily imagine the retribution
exploding onto American soil if you and your
conspirators are not repudiated and removed from office
very soon." |

Serious damage has been done to our democracy and to the rule of law, both national and international. Our country and our culture have been seriously degraded... with government, industry, media and most citizens no longer working in an enlightened manner, or with a unified vision that promises to leave this planet better off than we found it. I invite you to read my books. Each book is written with commentaries in reverse chronological order, i.e., the most recent in the front of each book, oldest at the back... like standing at a point in time and looking back. That might seem counter intuitive when you first start reading, because you may not understand how I could be saying such things. As you continue to read, though, it will remind you of how we got here and it will all make sense. At least I hope so.

our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for
much longer unless we see it as a whole
spaceship and our fate as common. It
has to be everybody or nobody.”
