It was around 1968 when it became increasing clear that America's tolerance for violence, as a Nation was beginning to increase to levels beyond our imagination. An event such as 9-11 wasn't even imaginable in 1968, yet today (2013) we prepare for days like 9-11 and what's worst, we have come to share our front page news with killings of our children while at school, our love ones being blown to bits at work and now we have bombs going off at the finish line of a marathon, yet as a Nation, we have maintained our sanity, and our hopes.
The eBook "Are We Insane Yet?" provides a chronological summary of major events in America from 1968 to 2004 and is dedicated to all Americans who have endured high levels of stress, for well over 30 years. This stress we speak of doesn't include the stress of coping with everyday life, the economy, lost of jobs, the concern for our children's future and promises not kept. This is a detached stress, yet relevant to our well being. It's only after you look at the "overall picture," that you can fully appreciate your inner strength as an American.
This is an eBook you will want to read, because until you have read the actual events in chronological order it's hard to comprehend the enormous amount of psychological stress the country was under from 1968 to 2004. Constant hijacking of the front page of the newspaper in America started in 1968. The eBook, "Are We Insane Yet?" only includes events up to 2004. A second eBook is planned to explore events from 2004 until the present time.
There were three attempts on the lives of sitting Presidents, (one president was shot twice within 30 days) one Senator killed, one civil rights leader slain and one Governor was shot. There were two major events were thousands of students were shot down while protesting, one International event (China) and one at Kent State. A sitting Pope was shot and not to mention, Impeachment hearings being held for a sitting President. Each of these major events added stress to Americans.
The Supreme Court first said the death penalty was unconstitutional and four years later they changed their mind and said it was!
Newspapers started going broke left and right because Americans starting reading news Online. The Internet may have saved our sanity because we no longer had to look at the 5 or 6 o'clock news to get the bad news of the day. We could actually click on the news when we were mentally ready to read the news.
The eBook, "Are We Insane Yet?" pulls all the information together for a funny but often times serious review of what American went through from 1968 to 2004.
There are two wars within that period of time, well maybe three, the end of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Desert Storm and one possible Impeachment of a sitting President. Readers will enjoy a warm rich history lesson which will reveal unwavering strength by Americans for more than 30 years leading up to 9-11.
