The Trash Heap

What if American cities continue to allow crime to grow without stopping it? In this powerful non-fiction treatise on crime and its impact on our country, William L. Drake issues a warning about the future of America-one he feels does not look promising. He explores several social issues that will determine the virtues and moral compass of America-crime, problems labeled political that have no political attributes, failed leadership at all levels, the creation of sexual identities, and the belief that one can change the world through violence and by destroying tradition.

Drake defines street crime, fraud, and incidental crime, and speaks of the hurtful and destructive nature of crime, eroding the trust of ordinary citizens-as when it becomes necessary to carry weapons for protection, to turn homes into jails with burglar bars, and to cease using personal computers because of scams.

Public trust is also being destroyed when politicians and other well-educated crooks commit fraud. Fraud is theft by lies and deception, and is by all measure reprehensible dishonesty, duplicity, imposition, and treachery. It is dangerous when leaders confuse and conflate the truth with lies and deceit, and voters put their faith in leadership, taking their lies at face value.

It is time for Americans to wake up and give God a chance to fix our problems. To survive, America must have charity, love, and trust. The choice to survive as a nation under God is at hand, and responsible people from all walks of life must take part in this survival, otherwise we will lose the best country on the earth.
