What is called Western Civilization is in an advanced state of decomposition, and another Dark Ages will soon be upon us, if, indeed, it has not already begun. With the Media, especially television, governing all our lives, as they indubitably do, it is easily imaginable that this might happen without our noticing. . . by accustoming us to the gradual deterioration of our values.
The mystery story is two stories in one: the story of what happened and the story of what appeared to happen.

I think the biggest pushback comes from people who perceive me to be a threat.

I'm discovering that the people that wake up early are really the trendsetters. They are up giving the commands on what the whole world needs to do so the worker wakes up at 8am but the dreamer, the innovator, the creator, the engineer is up at 3 or 4 in the morning making it happen.
