Their fifty-seven-year honeymoon is a statement unto itself. From celebrating their love in southern Florida on OUR BEACH, to meeting HOT LIPS THE BEAR... We are sitting at the picnic table laughing at this pesky squirrel, when a grizzly bear stuck her head through the brush at the end of the table. About forty-five minutes ago, I made a mistake that could cost both of us our lives I left our pepper spray in the car Their memories and experiences span over 60 years. Not only do their short stories encompass joy and laughter, they also portray the heartache and honor of a Marine. After many disturbing days and nights, Rose tried to help, telling me, "if you keep telling yourself, this is only a dream, maybe soon you will start to believe, and then maybe you can get some sleep. After a period of time, it started to work, to a certain degree. Their adventures began many, many miles apart, Rose in Wisconsin and Bill in Mississippi. They each started their high-spirited exploring at a very early age and when they met in their twenties, it could only be described as fate. Their love for life, adventure and especially for each other exploded and they became one. This was truly a union made in heaven. True love took them on the ride of their lives and the open road was their avenue to A LIFETIME OF ADVENTURES

They were the first to cross the Asian land bridge. Then they were the first to cross the land bridge to Tasmania. There, they stayed isolate for upwards of 6000 years. By the time the colonists started to drop their anchors in the Derwent, they were some 10,000 strong... perhaps as many as 20,000 people.A shockingly mere 20 years later their number was below any hope of avoiding extinction. Overall, as a distinct race of people they were brutalized out of existence. They were the pure-blood Tasmanian Aborigines. The last of their number they called Truganinni. The last male they called King Billy. They joked of them being royalty. After 1876, when Truganinni died, there was no joke left. On her people's annihilation, a shameful silence strangely descended and has thickened even until today. It is a silenceE that doesn't seem to need to speak out.

Me, the Old Man

Me, the Old Man

Edward Nugent; Bill Reed

Reed Independent
2015
nidottu
'I not only write books. I am this book. The actual person or persons.'-----------After a flash flood in 1965 an elderly man became trapped down a Sydney parkland storm drain. Children discovered him but did not tell their parents. Instead they fed him a biscuit and a little water once a day for three weeks. When he was finally rescued, the flesh on his legs had become putrescent. He could not remember how long he had been down there.Bill Reed extends this situation to explore the interaction of innocence and inhumanity that is so prevalent in these days of random violence. Here, the old man, like so many others, has come to Australia with all the hopes of regeneration. But the sun has not shone on him very much and his brother and sister have disowned him. He has had to live in sordid hostels and to endure the barbs of a society that pays respect only to the fittest.As his minds drifts, the old man dreams he is back home in Belfast. He has got beyond the smell of his own rotting flesh and the fleas and rats. He no longer feels the cold or works up the desperation to plead with the children to get help. He floats mentally, waiting for the final water-rush of the coming last storm. And as he does so, the author uses himself as a character to the story, as one of the brutalisers, the sheer fact of writing about the old man in this terrible state possibly morally aligning him to the teasing, torturing children. Using Edward Nugent's 'real' writings to give an authentic voice to the old man doesn't help his frame of mind either. ----------------Bill Reed has been involved in writing and publishing for most of his life, in Australia, Britain, Canada and the Subcontinent. He has had nine plays professionally staged and has written thirteen novels, including '1001 Lankan Nights' books 1 and 2. He has won national awards in playwriting, short story and novel categories. He now resides in Sri Lanka.Edward Nugent was born in Belfast in 1900 and migrated to Australia after WW2, eventually living in a Salvation Army home in Adelaide where his major preoccupations were his manual typewriter and his old 'fiddle'. He tragically died in a room fire in 1979, two days after receiving an advanced copy of this book. The quote above here was his verbatim reaction.

Bullsh: or, That Bloody Cow

Bullsh: or, That Bloody Cow

Ron Edwards; Bill Reed

'Life's a real cow of a thing 'You can take five locals virtually locked out of their Outback pub by a bunch of city-slickers up from Sydney who, deep into the grog, start offering money for the best local yarn. You could take it that these five, gathered around Pop, are used to being virtually locked out of their pub even in the best of times, and have their own jealously-guarded places out on the back porch. So you might wonder why they have their backs up this day.The answer to all their resentment is not so much being kept out from their local by the up-'emselves city-ites, but is mainly because what tomorrow is going to bring is more than a man can bear... Tomorrow, the bulldozer is coming to tear down their beloved drinking-hole. And it's not the extra half-a-block walk to the next pub as you might think; it's the principle of the bloody cow of a thing... one of their own mates is going to be driving the bulldozer If that's not total sacrilege, then it's still enough to drive a man to drink that he can't afford until next payday.And if that wasn't enough to get on a bloke's goat, the cold beer's running out on this last of all days to end days because of the great gutzing of the city slickers inside. How about that for coming the ruination of the environment? To come the raw prawn worse, what with all the city-slicker money being bandied about, Shirl the barmaid is turning her own tap off for the locals and turning it on for the Sydneysiders. Even the sacred bottle stash for tomorrow's breakfast isn't sacrosanct from their own selves' thieving hands. How desperate can a human being get? It's obvious as to what must be done: that tenner being put up inside by the city drongoes for the best yarn has to be collared.------------------'You'll hear shaggy dogs, yarns and bullsh as old as the hills and as warm as an outhouse's brick.'

Surely you remember Wi, a name especially chosen to fit our attention spans? The world-record kidnappee, nabbee, swipee, snatchee, hoisted so many times even he's lost count? (How about those three times in five minutes effort? That takes rare raw talent, that does.) I mean, if it wasn't for our Wi how many of these yabbers, yarns, shaggy dogs and yank-your-chain whoppers could I trot out for you? Even getting across one's not easy when it's always against the wind from people laughing in your face. No, really, without our Wi, where would all the odd-balls be, drowning their sorrows by ingesting the food in Dominic's Eatery, swallowing whole mouthfuls without a thought for their own safety? Would any plate get the Wi wipe and come out miraculously unscathed from what had been just laid upon it? Without Wi, how many screwballs could have hired him to do all they've always wanted to do?God knows, and the Talls say 'God knows' because, if you take it that God made him in His own image, then maybe you've stumbled across the one time God spoke too soon. Okay, setting that aside, coming to you is a cast of Lankan characters - and you'd cast too -- and barf, and burp - if you had some of Dominic's food inside you, let's not kid ourselves. Not all of us have cast-iron guts and can absorb what could canonize you if you kept it down.And our Wi can't help being White, either. Did he ever ask for the hoists he's had to suffer, or complained about the lack of duty-of-care his kidnappers have shown him -- their kidnappee, after all? No. All he asked was a hideaway high above the stars so bright. At least he got that. And, though having to watchfully wait, at least he received the epiphs, too. With the epiphs, he could epiphicatedly dream, so I guess he had something going for him. And let's not forget he's Talls recorded as having said, 'Just let me know if I'm breathing too much and I'll stop'. Hey, what kidnappee or country like Australia gets a kidnappee so considerate? Is he a peach of a pooch, or what?

The Bill of Rights

The Bill of Rights

Akhil Reed Amar

Yale University Press
2000
pokkari
"This is one of the most important books about constitutional interpretation of its generation."—Jeffrey Rosen, American Lawyer Are the deep insights of Hugo Black, William Brennan, and Felix Frankfurter that have defined our cherished Bill of Rights fatally flawed? With meticulous historical scholarship and elegant legal interpretation a leading scholar of Constitutional law boldly answers yes as he explodes conventional wisdom about the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution in this incisive new account of our most basic charter of liberty. Akhil Reed Amar brilliantly illuminates in rich detail not simply the text, structure, and history of individual clauses of the 1789 Bill, but their intended relationships to each other and to other constitutional provisions. Amar’s corrective does not end there, however, for as his powerful narrative proves, a later generation of antislavery activists profoundly changed the meaning of the Bill in the Reconstruction era. With the Fourteenth Amendment, Americans underwent a new birth of freedom that transformed the old Bill of Rights. We have as a result a complex historical document originally designed to protect the people against self-interested government and revised by the Fourteenth Amendment to guard minority against majority. In our continuing battles over freedom of religion and expression, arms bearing, privacy, states’ rights, and popular sovereignty, Amar concludes, we must hearken to both the Founding Fathers who created the Bill and their sons and daughters who reconstructed it. Amar’s landmark work invites citizens to a deeper understanding of their Bill of Rights and will set the basic terms of debate about it for modern lawyers, jurists, and historians for years to come.

Sometimes traffic moves on two legs instead of four wheelsBook 5 -- Raising and selling livestock has been a way of life in rural America for generations. Unfortunately, one rural Iowa resident has twisted the tradition into an evil mutation-harvesting young girls to traffic to sex-obsessed buyers around the world. When a teenage girl goes missing, Sioux City Sentinel-Leader reporter Tom Kingman discovers that not everything in rural Woodbury County is as beautiful as the fall colors. The hills are alive with an anatomy-obsessed teenage boy with a rifle, a drunken human trafficker gradually losing his concern for self-preservation, and rage-produced demons trying to provoke Tom into a life-shattering decision. As Tom's significant other, county prosecutor Hillary Reed, helps him make a hard choice, she also faces a decision-one she prays will be for the greater good.
