Repeal of 17th amendment is simple-effective measure that puts wayward senate dogs back on the constitutional leash designed by Founders. Please give some critical thinking to the impact of a repeal. I am an old guy not active in posting and such -- hoping that someone such as yourself might raise visibility for this repeal measure. Thank you
I write romances for Harlequin under the pseudonym Nadia Nichols, does that count :) I did actually get away with writing a story about a wind developer coming to town. As for a title, Science for Dummies? All our politicians should be required to read it. As for the layout, suck them in with lots of pictures, comic book style. Compelling characters with a variety of flaws demonstrating scientific method. Sort of like the cast of Peanuts, only dealing with the real stuff in a way that keeps people (kids and adults) reading and occasionally laughing out loud...but unbeknownst to them, they're learning. They just don't realize it. We're dealing with brainwashed masses. They aren't going to crack the cover of a book they think might go against their religion. You have to bait the hook, then reel them in slow and easy.
I'm an author (of sorts). For example I authored www.co2questions.com - authored and host it but didn't build it. I'm authoring (and building) another website and will focus on your 30 items. I have been thinking about what I wanted my focus to be for this frogpot site and you have helped me decide! I need to brush up on my coding skills - should go online within a month or less - but you can see a draft at www.staging.thefrogpot.net. Inputs welcome.
My thoughts are, not another book!! We have books galore. What we lack is ethics and values as a society. We allowed leaders who are above all else corrupt and despotic! We have allowed liberal Marxist infiltration to education. We have a youth that believe Hollywood and sports figures are gods. There has been such a lack of sane counter balance and intelligence! Look at Congress. Or perhaps it’s a matter of dealing with the idiotic “dumbed-down” masses. Conservative laws and conservative leaders are what’s needed. Not another book!! Until we have a group strong enough to tackle the cancer of liberal leftist ideology and filth that is spreading like cancer in society, we will be doomed to fear for our grandchildren’s fate!
Wonderful idea, John. And it appears you already have a number of eager and capable people willing to participate. If ever you or any of the other authors (through you) of such a book want or need a constructive critic, I offer my services - for critiques of ideas and substance, not so much of grammar or presentation.
In any respect, I also offer you my sincere best wishes in your endeavor. As you clearly point out, such an education is sorely needed, and more so now than at any previous time.
I have nearly completed a book entitled "Rules for Reasoning". It covers the Scientific Method, the history, the philosophical underpinnings of the Scientific Method, how to carry out a scientific investigation, the pitfalls of good science (different forms biased thinking), and how science is debated in the public sphere.
I have authored 60+ research articles and one book on genetic tools for biological research, which is used as a text for advanced genetics classes.
I would gladly share the table of contents and a sample chapter.
I am a new author who have just completed the second edits of a novel which addresses, through storytelling, the issues of science, God, and our future. It's an ecological thriller with hints of eschatology without being dystopian or apocalyptic. I'd be happy to send you a draft manuscript. I'll be searching for a publisher and am open to your thoughts.

Hi John,
I am a new author who have just completed the second edits of a novel which addresses, through storytelling, the issues of science, God, and our future. It's an ecological thriller with hints of eschatology without being dystopian or apocalyptic. I'd be happy to send you a draft manuscript.

Ambitious idea! I like it. I'm a good editor/technical writer. I would be interested in this project.
