The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures
$16.99
In an age where there seem to be nearly unlimited choices for relating, and truly unlimited guilt and shame attached to all things sexual, Dossie Easton succeeds in walking that fine line between being true to self and ones very real needs and desires, and being true to the basic precepts of honesty and ethical behavior that are the hallmarks of mature adult behavior - and which seem to be sorely lacking in most writings about "alternative" lifestyles and practices.

Though many will decry polyamory as just another excuse for promiscuity, Dossie makes it clear that this is, in fact, truly about loving and being loved unconditionally, as is our birthright - if only we have the courage to try.

Polyamory is not easy, it will never "fix" an existing flawed relationship (indeed it will almost certainly hasten its' demise!), and it works only between individuals who can be completely honest, even when honesty hurts. Given that, "The Ethical Slut" is a decent roadmap toward an expression of our true potential as lovers and partners. Definitely worth reading, and re-reading, if poly is a serious interest, or if you're just curious. It'll make you think, if nothing else.

Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent
$70.00
I would like to say "Muchas Gracias!" to our good friend, El Comandante Chavez, the same guy who supplies heating oil to the slum communities of America, for making this book known to me. American education under free speech and expression had kept it hidden from me I'm afraid.

The book presents many established historical facts documenting the exploitation of Latin America by the western powers of Spain, Portugal, France, Great Britain, and the great USA. These nations buy, and for cheap, Latin America's raw materials and pay hunger wages to Latin America's workers and then they sell the manufactured goods dearly, making some nice hefty profits in the process. Buy low, sell high!

There is no benefit of foreign investments in Latin America when five times more in profit is exported out of Latin America, mainly to the great USA.

Speaking of cheap, for those who complain that the book is a waste of money, unless you work for hunger wages, don't be a cheap [...]! The book only costs around 10 US dollars.

The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know (FDR), but unfortunately it will be very difficult for most Americans to accept the facts contained in this book since the history that is brainwashed and indoctrinated to school kids is biased towards portraying a more positive outlook of the great USA. Therefore, most Americans will dismiss this good book as being false.

This book widened my liberal education. Free trade is a euphemism, for example. We see the word free, and perhaps from being cheap, think it must be good, sort of like thinking if some food says its fat free then it must be good. We need to look beyond free and understand whether the free trade is really fair trade and we will see that it has not been fair for Latin America. So then, free trade does not necessarily mean fair trade in the same way that many fat free foods are loaded with calories.

The book changed my views of the Monroe Doctrine. The great USA was not really generous to Latin America by preventing foreign powers from re-colonizing. It was really planting the seeds of the future economic exploitation of the region. It is very interesting that the great USA demands no revolutions in its backyard (except for capitalist ones), but at the same time it meddles with Russia's sphere of influence.

It's high time for Latin America to revolt against foreign exploitation. Though easier said than done, since the current system creates too much resistance and oppression, the people must force change to enact protectionist policies, build up the local industries and agricultural capacity to be able to feed their peoples, and after that, when they can produce surpluses of goods, can they engage in free trade that is fair.

If anything, the book may help us see what is to come. In time perhaps the tables will turn and others will dominate us. The great USA has lost many manufacturing jobs, is outsourcing jobs overseas, experiencing a brain drain, borrowing lots of money from China, and so on and so forth and Great Britain has also been falling.

Come now. Be brave. Dare to learn the truth. I know its hard, but concentrate. Focus. Turn off Fox News and Read The Opens Veins of Latin America today!
