This manuscript deals with that period in my life I commonly refer to as my prepubescent period. If it were not for my cousin, Orson, this period in my life would have been next to impossible. Maybe not so harsh, let's say more trips to the fishpond, and most definitely an increase in the number of appearances before the inquisitions. Orson and I were most fortunate to experience this milestone in life before man landed on the moon, before cellphones, and most of all a time when mother said go play outside, which translated to "It's 8 a.m. Don't come back till noon." Your assumption is correct. This left two gentlemen a lot of time and space.Here is what greeted us each morning. From our front yards, we could see the snow-capped sierras. Following your line of sight was a fully functioning log mill with a large pond feed by a flume. From this point on was a mixture of pastureland and open agricultural land. Oh, yes, a canal full of water year-round. To find some activity to fill the day only required the willingness to bask in the glory of the right choice or the willingness to accept the full fury of a displeased mother.

In this book, I share my unique life experiences. Having been born on the Navajo Indian Reservation, I understand the hardships the people have to endure to survive in a third-world environment in the United States. At age six, I attended a boarding school run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. I was then taken in by a white Christian foster family at age nine, attending predominantly white schools. I had to make mental adjustments between two ways of life. During this time, I received paranormal experiences that aided me in coping with the challenges with which I was confronted. As an adult, I have had ongoing extraordinary experiences such as when I participated in the Opening Ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. Looking back through my life experiences, I have realized that we are all half-breeds, half human beings and half spiritual beings. I summarize these experiences in my writing and acknowledge that we are connected to all things earthly and heavenly. We are creators of our own environments, good or bad. We must strive to create harmony in all things, beginning with ourselves.

What causes a person to bully another? Is it hate? Jealousy? Their own self-brokenness? To be a bully is a tragedy of the soul, but worse yet, to be the victim of bullying goes beyond just a tragedy but utter devastation and destruction of an innocent person's personhood. The victim, the target of a bully's inner inadequacies, is violated by someone who has severe brokenness. The victim is now left fragmented, depending on the degree of bullying and the strength of the victim to brace themselves against the pressure. Bullying is the stealing of an innocent person's right to be who they are. Their space is violated, and their valuables are stolen. They are left to feel like a victim, a fragment of who they were or who they used to be. A bully takes away, by force and illegally, the rights of someone else to live in their own unique and personal identity as a single-framed human being. Bullying is a disease of the soul that, if left unchecked, will carry over into a society of adults and leaders who have continued their bad characters from childhood into their adulthood, giving us a society that is filled with a denseness of moral "bullies." Bullying must be stopped. There is a cure, and there has to be a willingness to work together to end its infectious quest because it leaves an innocent person fragmented and needing to pick up the pieces of their lives to put them back together again. For some, it is very difficult; therefore, they sought a way out, so they commit suicide; for others, though it is very difficult, they seek help for the restoration of their "selves" so that they may continue with their lives, and yet for others, they live broken for the rest of their lives, society being robbed of who they could have been and the virtue that they could have contributed. Bullying is everyone's problem, and we all must work with intense purpose to destroy it from the root.To the bully, what makes a bully a bully? It is indeed brokenness on the inside. Issues and troubles are not always the reason for one's brokenness; brokenness, at times, occurs due to a flaw in one's character. Many who have everything they could ever wish for bully others because there is a certain satisfaction in inflicting pain. To the bully, it is not okay to steal someone's soul (mind, will, emotions). The toxic behavior of bullying another person is a sign that a bully needs psychological intervention. For a bully, there is hope; there is help. If you are a bully, seek help because bullying not only destroys another person's life, but it destroys the bully's as well because there will be consequences.To the victim, know that it is not your fault but that you are an innocent victim of someone's brokenness. What happened to you is tragic and unjust. You can recover all that you have lost. In your journey of healing, continue to be patient with yourself and allow yourself to flow in grieve and recovery because, at the end of your journey, you will have become a stronger and wiser version of yourself. It'll be you but with greater wisdom and greater power. The bullying will have given you the opportunity to learn and grow in ways you may not have grown had the bullying never occurred. So deal with it, process it, grieve, then move on. Use it to strengthen YOU, adding to your wealth of moral goodness.
In 1821, Thomas Jefferson foresaw how the US Supreme Court would, over the years, steadily increase the powers of the federal government and reduce the "independent rights" of the states, reserved by the Constitution.In order to save the Republic, Jefferson proposed an amendment to the Constitution by which the people would have ultimate control over the opinions of the Supreme Court.The amendment Jefferson proposed was to provide "some practical and impartial control" by "a mixture of State and Federal authorities," enforced by impeachment of individual justices.Today, two hundred years later, the need for such an amendment is as strong, or even stronger, than it was in Jefferson's time.But in the context of today's partisan divisions, Jefferson's proposed method of enforcement, by impeachment of a justice, could not be, if ever it was, "practical and impartial control."We need to focus on correcting specific erroneous opinions, like Kelo v. City of New London (2005), rather than impeaching the justice who committed a few errors, or even a sole error, during his tenure.This book proposes a constitutional procedure by which the people, acting directly, can overrule erroneous opinions and, over time, cut back the "administrative state" which threatens the unique form of government by delegated and enumerated powers created by the Founders.
