pauses and then adds; “You know, I couldn’t care less what the elites and the
feminists are saying that the only difference in the male and female is
biological. That’s baloney. It’s a bunch of bull crap that’s been fed into this
modern life of ours. It’s right out of that feminine mystique garbage. Just another

difference. It’s built in us. We’ve got different qualities right from the
beginning, as little girls we wanted dolls, and boys wanted trucks and guns to
play with and went around pointing those toys saying bang, bang you’re dead.
God put into Adam the desire to subdue the earth, and after the fall, we were
cursed with pain and our desire was made to please our husbands.” Turning to
wrap her arm around Mel’s shoulder Susan looks into her daughters eyes saying;
“Mel, don’t you go chasing after a man, let him find you. Make him want you.”</span></h1>

Montesquieu, New World Island is about not only escaping the hustle bustle rush to get to work on time but also escaping the bureaucratic rules imposed from without to live by rules from within. <br />

The people escaping the current bureaucratic tyranny of the US would rather walk alone than have the company of a crowd going in the wrong direction. <br />
<br />
When we desire a little peace in our hazzle dazzle life, where do we go? To the woods, to a lake side setting, to the wooded mountains to get away from the hustle bustle of modern day living where we can look up at a star lit night and become a child again wondering and wandering in our own peaceful fanciful imaginations.<br />
<br />
Even that ever handy cell-phone we're continually holding dearly connected to wherever distances us from our immediate surroundings, insulating us from the crowd we'd like to get away from. <br />

He was exposing the truth of what homosexual practice is all about; men choosing the anus to satisfy themselves rather than what the creator of this universe designed as the start of the reproduction process. We degenerate humans desire to please ourselves, and this is why God decided to send his only son as a sacrifice for our wayward ways, therefore making it possible for each of us to put away our childish sinful practices. "Now we see through a glass darkly. . . ." <br />
<br />
Our perceptions are foggy most of the time, and so we may not recognize the truth but that does not change it. It is still the same as it was from the beginning of time. <br />

<br />
<em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000099;">"The Christian
religion is a stranger to mere despotic power. The mildness so
frequently recommended in the Gospel is incompatible with the despotic
rage with which a prince punishes his subjects, and exercises himself in
cruelty. As this religion forbids the plurality of wives, its princes
are less confined, less concealed from their subjects, and consequently
have more humanity: they are more disposed to be directed by laws, and
more capable of perceiving that they cannot do whatever they please."</span></em>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10135332342967184665noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18242095503001380.post-83042222676310764412013-10-29T08:02:00.001-07:002013-10-29T08:02:51.837-07:00Gads, another group is desiring to leave the US.Now Californias Silicon Valley is breeding a secessionist movement. <em>"What is happening sounds vaguely like the plot of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged--with 3-D printing providing a new manufacturing base, Bitcoins providing a new currency, and <a href="http://quantifiedself.com/" target="_blank">Quantified Self</a>

go down easy and are very satisfying. The books' synopsis is the misery
brought about by oppressive regulations of a zealous government cause a
wealthy Nebraska farmer/entrepreneur to relocate with his wife and
children to a newly formed island in the Pacific where their amazing
adventure begins. The characters are the kind of people you would like
to have as lifelong friends.<br /><br />Because so much literature today is
unfit for young minds, I highly recommend these books to Midwestern
parents looking for a wholesome adventure story for their older
children. Mr. Kropp's story will tweak the imagination of a young mind
while endorsing wholesome values like hard work, self-reliance, love of
God and family, respect for others. In the story, Mark's and Susan's
generosity toward others makes the point, oft forgotten these days, that
the best way to enrich one's own life is through enriching the lives of
others. I think these books should be in High School libraries across
America's Heartland.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10135332342967184665noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18242095503001380.post-59302225098667828532013-09-27T08:50:00.000-07:002013-09-27T08:55:23.720-07:00Was it prophetic?The novel seems to have been prophetic as the news is that more and more Americans are giving up their citizenship. According to BBC: "The number of expatriates renouncing their US citizenship surged in the
second quarter of 2013, compared with the same period the year before -
1,131 cases to 189 in 2012. It's still a small proportion of the
estimated six million Americans abroad, but it's a significant rise."<br />
<br />
Why? Taxes and the inflationary expense of figuring out what forms are needed etc.etc.etc. and etc.<br />
<br />
"This has nothing to do with avoiding taxes. I was never in danger of
having to pay taxes in the US since I pay more here. The issue for me
was that it was becoming harder and harder to follow the tax code and
comply. It was difficult already but when I knew Fatca was coming, I
thought, 'Do I want to go through with it anymore?'"<br />

so much literature today is unfit for young minds, I highly recommend these
books to Midwestern parents looking for a wholesome adventure story for their
older children. Mr. Kropp’s story will tweak the imagination of a young mind
while endorsing wholesome values like hard work, self-reliance, love of God and
family, respect for others. In the story, Mark’s and Susan’s generosity toward
others makes the point, oft forgotten these days, that the best way to enrich
one's own life is through enriching the lives of others. I think these books
should be in High School libraries across America’s Heartland.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"></span></div>

Now they are becoming so common that one Colorado town has proposed legalizing a shoot them down ordinance which would provide citizens the authority to shoot one down using a shotgun.<br />
<br />
An excerpt from the book:<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;">"On the ground and booked into motel rooms, Mark calls Susan to let her
know of the delay.<span> </span>Mark asks; “So,
what’s happening there, anything new?”<span></span></span> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span><span style="font-family: Garamond;"></span></span></span></span><div class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span><span style="font-family: Garamond;">Susan responding says; “No not really, well yes,
there was. Two days ago, I was on the tractor plowing up a plot for our
vegetables when a shadow flew across my path right in front of me.<span> </span>Looking up to see what it was, I saw a small
plane flying over.<span> </span>It was gone over the
tree tops before I could get a good look at it, but it appeared to be one of
those drones we’ve seen pictures of on the news.<span> </span>Otherwise, just the usual stuff; another
letter from the energy department, a call and a visit from two Solar
manufacturers, a call from the agriculture department, and another letter from
the energy department, again requesting an immediate response to an urgency of
national importance." </span></span></span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
And now back to reality.<br />

an ordinance that would create drone-hunting licenses and offer $100

A year ago when I started writing the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_11?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=montesquieu+new+world+island&sprefix=montesquieu%2Cstripbooks%2C180">novel,</a> I had no idea that those Americans living overseas were being forced by US burdensome tax regulations to reconsider their citizenship. <br />
<br />
The Weekly Standard writes: "The <a href="http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Corporations/Foreign-Account-Tax-Compliance-Act-(FATCA)">Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act</a>, or Fatca, is forcing millions of Americans living abroad to reconsider their U.S. citizenship, a lawyer, Colleen Graffy, writes in the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323848804578607472987119796.html?mod=rss_mobile_uber_feed_europe"><em>Wall Street Journal</em>.</a>" Fatca was passed in 2010, just a few years ago to plug another one of those loopholes that rules and regulations create and lawyers later find for their clients to use.<br />
The Wall Street Journal headlines it as: "How to Lose Friends, Citizens and Influence." <br />
<br />
In the novel my fictional American citizens send letters to the Secretary of State, and to the UN denouncing their citizenship, influencing the State Dept. through the force of the US Navy to harass and threaten.

<br />
America has been demoralized, destabilized, and are encouraging one crisis after another to further the destabilization with additional intentional citizen unrest and then the only solution to solving the crisis will be pushing toward accepting the reforms. It will not be we the people instituting the reforms, but the powerful political class holding the military power to ensure a peaceful transition.<br />

Riots everywhere: Syria, Egypt, Paris, London, Greece, Spain, Italy, even peaceful Sweden, and now this week-end here in the US in NY and LA. The people are gathering together and rioting. Always something is upsetting a group here and there. People can't even peacefully watch a soccer game. What's going on? The people are demonstrating in the streets against something all the time, there's something, some happening, some event that rattles the cages continuously. Sure there have been uprisings all through history, but now they seem to dominate the world news making the once civilized world look animalistic.<br />
<br />
Why can't we humans live in peace with each other? It can't be that hard to live and let live, be neighborly, friendly and work daily to get along with each other. Can It? Surely, it could be doable, right? Your own peace could be more to your liking if people would just leave you alone to do your thing, right? And then their peace would be more enjoyable too, because you'd leave them alone to do their thing, right? <br />
<br />
Perhaps a look at the mystical Island of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_8_11?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=montesquieu+new+world+island&sprefix=montesquieu%2Cstripbooks%2C333" target="_blank">Montesquieu</a> may provide some answers.<br />

anti-Christian forces were beginning to be made known among the
intelligentsia: “I challenge any skeptic to find a 10 square mile spot
on this planet where they can live their lives in peace and safety and
decency, where womanhood is honored, where infancy and old age are
revered, where they can educate their children, where the Gospel of
Jesus Christ has not gone first to prepare the way.” <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/07/making-the-21st-a-happier-century/" target="_blank">Read more . . . </a><br />

Yes, the gospel of Jesus Christ has paved the way on the Island of Montesquieu.<br />
<br />
"A “happier” century will require us to look to God’s design for social
structures, limiting government’s infringement on the spheres of the
family, of the church, of economics and of the community.<br />

EPA wants to control how cold your refrigerator is maintainedYou think you are free. Ha, in this enlightened age of instant everything, we the people are considered as interference. Why, by golly, we pollute everything: the rivers, the air, our neighborhoods, our schools and our automobiles are causing the ice to melt. So, we must be regulated.<br />
<br />
The EPA is now wanting to control the amount of cold air going into your refrigerator using a smart grid meter. <br />
<br />
<em>"In a seemingly innocuous revision of its Energy Star efficiency requirements announced June 27, the Environmental Protection Agency included an "optional" requirement for a "smart-grid" connection for customers to electronically connect their refrigerators or freezers with a utility provider.</em><br />
<em>The feature lets the utility provider regulate the appliances' power consumption, "including curtailing operations during more expensive peak-demand times." <a href="http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/070513-662691-epa-pushes-refrigerator-smart-grid-connections.htm" target="_blank">More. . .</a></em><br />

<br />
Not that big of a surprise.<br />
<br />
"Gallup asked respondents in two June telephone surveys of first, 1,529
adults and then, of 2,048 adults: “Overall, do you think the signers of
the Declaration of Independence would be pleased or disappointed by the
way the United States has turned out?”<br />
Eighty-six percent of Republicans said Declaration of Independence
signers would be disappointed in America, circa 2013, compared to 56
percent of Democrats and 73 percent of independents."<br />
<br />
Surprise? Nope, the party affiliation says it all. <br />
