Fighting ignorance and educating myself


Finally, after two long months of making my initial request, I can finally say that my work is mine again. I'm not going to mention a domain, but what I will do is caution other authors to be careful where they ask to have their work hosted. Not all site owners will be as willing to take your stories down, and the process could take several weeks. It hasn't been fun, and unfortunately, this morning I had to be very assertive about what I wanted. And as everyone here knows, I hate being assertive. I'm now one step closer to my goal of having my work hosted exclusively at Gay Authors, which in hindsight, is the only site I should have ever committed to in the first place. I certainly wish all other sites good luck, but I think that in order to be the best, you have can't be on a second rate site with second rate authors. And if it isn't GA or one of its affiliated sites, it's second rate. :music:

So I've made a new goal for myself this summer. On top of working and earning as much money as I can, and besides writing and churning out stories that people want to read, I've decided to research NAFTA so that I can form an educated opinion on the issue. It seems to me that NAFTA has been a disaster for the United States and its working class sector, but for some reason, it's been supported by democrats and republicans alike. In fact, in 1993, Al Gore debated Ross Perot on CNN in favor of ratifying NAFTA. Here's part one of that debate.

Ohhh, I voted for Ross Perot when he ran for President. Perot's two greatest impacts on the 1992 election were 1) Siphoning enough votes away from Bush I to allow Clinton to win, and 2) Making the budget deficit such an important issue.

It seems like he cared about the nation but no one was taking him seriously. We could use someone like him today. :ranger:

Nick, sometimes in life you have to be assertive otherwise people will take advantage of you. So long as you know when it's appropriate to be assertive I doubt anyone that matters to you will think any less of you for standing up for what you believe is right. I for one am proud of what you've done!

 

Regarding Perot, I think the Larry King debate with Al Gore played a large role in dooming his candidacy. Also, all those charts, while accurate, were too confusing for the average idiot who votes. I know this sounds conceited, but we here at GA are on the higher end of the intelligence scale and could appreciate Perot's methods.
