The Slow Cooker Method Of Destroying America

Right after Joe Biden was elected, I worried that some of my books may be banned just for me being a bisexual author. There were attacks by the Right on libraries. That started with public schools, like here in Florida. There was talk of banning Drag Queen Book Readings at public libraries. There was talk of Drag Shows being banned. I mentioned in private to family members that attacking Drag Queens and transgender people is the, shall I say, weakest link, because those people were easier to raise questions about to people who don't know them personally or aren't one themselves.

Recently, I've read Americans vying and advocating for library cards and telling people to go to the library. 

Unfortunately, if the library sucks, what's to point of going? 

The last time I went to my public library, all they had was gangster and mobster books. Nothing I'd be interested in reading, so I walked out empty handed.  

It's been 4 years of this slow cooker that began in Florida. 

I smuggled my writings into other countries years ago via the internet just in case there more book burnings.

Yes, there have been book burnings.

When you need food, housing, and electricity, books may seem frivolous. But our democracy functions well only when we are educated--and we can get that education not only at universities but also at public libraries.

Or, at least, we could.

I'll tell you one method I know of when attacking another country that isn't exactly secret: "Take out" the smart ones: the scientists, the philosophers, the engineers, the writers, the poets, the artists. 

If you control that, you can quickly stop a project, like the building of a nuclear weapon, or stop a novel, progressive point of view, as in the case of the artist. You can slowly dumb-down a population to make it easier to control, manipulate, and take over. 

Increasingly, I've seen more Americans on social media simply, I take it, because everything else is watered down--like the library I went to. 

But we also know that social media can be a problem, too.

If you have suggestions, let's hear them. We have an educated population already. Tons of us went to school when it meant everything. 

I've been wearing this new shirt I bought. It's a Lee Brand shirt. I love it for it's softness, color, and what it says. I noticed today that not only  does it say it's an American Original, it uses Red, White, and Blue--but doesn't desecrate the flag.
