The Eve of Destruction

The Eve of Destruction: The Systematic Destruction of America and its Values Tender Topics was written to provoke thought about the devastating damage occurring in our country and world. I want your blood to boil as you digest each and every word. In other words, these are controversial topics meant to get you all worked up! I hope it even makes you angry. If it does, that means you are thinking and perhaps coming up with solutions. I need to acknowledge Barry Maguire whose 1960s song "The Eve of Destruction" was the inspiration for the title of this book! This book was written to elicit feelings, emotions, and responses in you, my readers, that you might not particularly like. I want you to understand that it is okay to have mixed feelings. I had to deal with the same emotions as you when I was writing this book. None of us are immune to hatred, violence, bullying, and so many other things. We do have the ability to control and fix much of this if we just have the intestinal fortitude to confront these issues.

It is an ugly country and world we live in right now. All of us don't want to acknowledge it because it shows us for what we really are. The Eve of Destruction is a great title because all of us at different times see the worldwide decline in the sanctity of life. Yet we don't seem to want to do anything to stop it. We all show our prejudices toward each other at one time or another! I guess that is human nature. It is my sincere hope that the words in this book change the mindset we have.

We must take every step we can to rid ourselves of our biases. It just takes a little courage to accomplish it. If you believe that we can all be better human beings, then we are on the right path.

We, all of us, need to stamp out hate, violence, and bullying once and for all. Our entire society demands it. It is wreaking havoc on every level of humanity! Humanity, now there is a word that we have lost sight of. It is time that we turn the page and get back to kindness, respect, love, and peace. Our children and grandchildren deserve nothing less!
