It's easy and great. Create an Amazon account. Get your manuscript in good shape. Upload it. Bam, it's on sale and available to anyone with a Kindle (or Kindle software on other devices). No publisher, no middle-men beyond Amazon ... Fabulous new way to publish longer stuff than you'd tend to put in a blog posting. Plus, who knows, you may make a few bucks.Ray Sawhillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02434181069400646328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-45257656672909931312010-12-08T01:30:36.168+00:002010-12-08T01:30:36.168+00:00PC is underpinned with an extraordinary anti-human...<i><br />PC is underpinned with an extraordinary anti-human kind of idealism, a state-ism, in which humans are regarded as the root of all evil<br /></i><br /><br />This is where PC and radical environmentalism meet.CorkyAgainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-15200076247327686232010-12-05T20:13:41.596+00:002010-12-05T20:13:41.596+00:00"Resistance to PC is not 'futile' - q..."Resistance to PC is not 'futile' - quite the opposite - life has meaning and purpose in the act of resistance."<br /><br />This also defines us. People become very uncomfortable in the presence of plain speaking. Not because of the subject, as is supposed, but because it removes our artful self-deceptions and reminds us by contrast of our wanting levels of courage and independence. It might be said the politically incorrect individual is anti-social to a suicidal society. A society like Jonestown requires unanimity.xlbrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931950075332608449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-9171420759644250602010-12-05T17:09:05.267+00:002010-12-05T17:09:05.267+00:00When I said 'Individual agency is replaced by ...When I said 'Individual agency is replaced by the state.' I meant that this is the ultimate state towards which PC is tending. <br /><br />As well as the government and civil administration, much of PC is currently carried by the mass media, the education system and other such big social systems. The point is that these systems are now all-but integrated into the civil administration. <br /><br />Or to put it another way, PC is a network among the ruling intellectual elite which goes across all the social systems (all the above, plus health services, science and technology, the military, the police and so on). <br /><br />However, these are all focused upon the permanent (non elected) government bureaucracy - the civil administration, who generate most of society's detailed rules and regulations - in a symbiosis with the bureacracies of these other major systems.Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-27663225265589966682010-12-05T16:17:32.720+00:002010-12-05T16:17:32.720+00:00@a Finn.
