    About this ebook

    America has suffered a black eye in recent decades. It's time to cure the injury and restore America to greatness. It can be done, but only through a shift of cultural paradigms, which have been subtly altered. These are the observations of FJ Rocca, who believes that even disagreement about this great country can be good if it is sensible disagreement.

      The idea of having to prove my intellect is a trap, and one I wasted a lot of energy on as a younger writer, and a student, and a person in the world—which is no accident. It’s an illusion that distracts and dissuades me from creating my best work. T
