  Wards of the State - Data Collection v. Privacy – November 4, 2013

       As an author of fiction revolving around the premise of government abuse, the recent fodder supplied by the daily news is astounding.

Akira Okihu on a blog, discusses the quest for followers.  Maybe I am late in replying to this piece on "quest for followers" but it is something, the topic, which so many of us are in the middle of these days. It isn't really meeting others in person, but one is developing an audience at this level. I realize there are pros and cons to the entire concept of "social…

It may possibly go away sometime, but one has to wonder. As I wrote in June about NSA and the UK, James Bamford gave a tremendous history of our connection with the UK since and in spite of our gaining independence.

There must be a huge ego thing with politicians for their self promotions which is not denied and which is a way of life for them. It could also be true for rock stars and others in the entertainment business. In the writing and publishing business, just look at the giants from the large presses and literature world. Where are the centers? They are: New York City,…

It’s been a very long time since I have updated this blog, I was at one time, very active at this site while I was trying to market my 1^st novel, “SCHLEP” as a “micro-published” novel that I was, essentially, doing myself.

BuzzZin OFF Carpet/VIP Reception: $50.00…
