Originally written when the author was going through a divorce. It was intended as a humorous view of someone having to go out on his own and learn to cook, clean, wash, and iron for the first time. It developed into a real survival/cookbook for someone that doesn't know how to manage on their own for the first time.A funny way to put together all the things you may need to go out there in the cold cruel world without spending all your money in fast-food joints. Perfect for college kids going out on their own for the first time, or in By Gawd's case, getting kicked out of the house.

Brutality of slavery and its legacy transformed a large segment of the African-American population into a state of despair through the epigenetic modification of the structure of DNA that resulted in neurobehavioral, mental, and other pathophysiological conditions. Toxic stress and traumatic experiences inflicted on Black people altered the function of various metabolic pathways that affected a child's cognitive abilities and executive functions via epigenomic control passed from one generation to the next. Black Education in White America provides scientific evidence that explains how slavery could inflict a kind of destruction on millions of children, women, and adults.One of the major offshoots of slavery was poverty, which affected all Americans, but its impact on African-Americans was the most destructive. Slavery, poverty, along with segregation created a massive force of dysfunctionality among Blacks, particularly children, which reflected on their academic achievements, including other pathophysiological conditions.American education is in trouble. America followed segregated education since its inception. The higher education system is controlled by segregation, caste system, academic slavery, and racism.Epigenetics influences the whole human life span beginning from prenatal, postnatal, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Negative experiences impact all these time frames of an individual that can increase the risks of various physiopathological conditions, and lead to a higher morbidity and mortality rates. As epigenetics and its machinery of gene expression are influenced by the external environmental factors, positive educational experiences and healthy outlooks and habits can also theoretically influence epigenome to promote positive responses, which will decrease the risk of pathophysiological conditions and lower the morbidity and mortality rates.Transformative power of education needs to be nurtured in America so that every child may educate him/herself with no hindrances from segregated, racism, and demagoguery.
Kakistocracy, a term that describes what our government has become, a government controlled by "leaders" who are the least able or least principled citizens. These leaders are labeled "kakistocrats."In Reform the Kakistocracy, Kovacs describes how the kakistocracy transformed our federal government from one of limited powers to one of immense power without any constitutional changes. This decades-long transformation revised the functions and powers of Congress, the executive, and the courts. These revisions change how each branch of government fulfills its institutional role as a check on the powers of the other branches. They also fundamentally affect the relationship of citizens to their government.The result of the transformation is decades of policy failures, harmful wealth inequality, a health care system costing two times more than in other industrialized nations, and the imposition of such massive amounts of debt that citizens will eventually live in involuntary servitude to the federal government.As part of the discussion, Kovacs takes on the real - world conflict faced by the kakistocrats - who should be the beneficiary of their loyalty? Of course, it is the Constitution but what does that mean when applied to day-to-day decisions? Kakistocrats deal with laws and regulations, sometimes very vague, deal-making, favors, supporters, opponents, citizens, political parties, interest groups, contributors and other branches of government. How does a kakistocrat balance all these competing factors to be faithful to the Constitution?Unlike many books on government reform, Reform the Kakistocracy does not let the reader dangle with fuzzy answers. It presents a clear, thought-provoking, roadmap of governance principles and proposals for restructuring the kakistocracy to achieve a sustainable government that can be managed by citizens. Some may call the roadmap controversial, aggressive, naive or completely unworkable in this political climate, but the roadmap puts serious, creative, ideas into the marketplace for discussion.
