Re: New book: American Heart of Darkness: Book Tour
This is quite telling. It seems that these people when faced with information that contradicts their
worldview, rather than having to deal with positive disintegration, they end up fighting for their belief
systems even more. I think it was in Ponerology that Lobaczewski wrote something similar.
Laura's latest article goes into much detail of why that is so.

Robert Kirkconnell said:Along with promoting my book, I wanted to study the unique ecosystems of the Pacific North West from California to Western Canada. I have always been fascinated with the giant pines and temperate rainforests that are the foundation of an intricate web of life that is unique to this region. I also wanted to feel the pulse of the people in this region, and I have to say that this has been a most interesting journey. My wife and I left our home in Southern Cal. on the 9th of August and headed out in our RV and the trip sure has been fun.
One plus along the way was that we found out that the book won an international award! Readers Favorite gave it a bronze medal in politics and history and we were invited to their annual awards ceremony in Miami, Nov. this year. Also got invited to the international book fair, also in Miami. This is big news for an old G.I. and school teacher! Hey, I can now say that the book is an international award winner, way cool.
The people I talked with along the way mostly know something is really wrong. They know there is “trouble in paradise,” but when you start talking about what that “looks, smells, and tastes like” they “crawfish” on you. You know how a crawfish uses its tail to back up while it is looking at you? Well that is what they do. I usually issue a challenge at that point, especially with men, that the book is only for those who have the courage to face reality…the faint of heart need not apply…. It works, somewhat anyway.
We know this as cognitive dissonance, and although I am very familiar with it I still am sometimes flabbergasted by it. I ran into a guy a few days ago who has cancer, diabetes, and a list of other problems and diseases linked to Agent Orange, buy when I started talking about the politicians that made that happen he defended every one of them! Blows me away!
America is not ready for transformational change yet. Almost, but not quite. Never mind that any transformational leader who comes along gets bumped off, so we are left with the likes of Barak Obama and the rest. We keep looking for someone to save us and it ain’t gonna happen! I guess it will come to the point that we just cannot go on this way and still survive, and this reality is right in our faces. To me, we are already there.
Again I say that although we might not get to where we need to be soon enough to avert a lot of pain and destruction, it is very important that we continue on. When the day of reckoning comes, America and the world is going to need a choice and that choice needs to be an alternative to divisiveness and killing each other. I strongly believe that our work now will play a pivotal role in the future.
Later about the old growth forest and such.
