Michael Mathiesen is a Science and Science Fiction Author living in beautiful Santa Cruz, California. Try one of his other books found below. Mathiesen became interested in real democracy in America when he was asked by President Nixon to join him in the killing fields and horror known as The Viet Nam War. It was this most perplexing moment in his life that made him realize there had to be a better way to conduct the affairs of what he, and many millions of other people all over the world considered to be the greatest country of all time. That the power of this great country had come full circle and could be abused by just a few individuals to represent Evil rather than Good, troubled him deeply from that moment on. This book is a product of that life-long quest to make this country honor the promise of Real Democracy. "Everyone I knew, millions of Americans, were protesting against this war. Yet, one man, Lyndon Johnson and then his successor Richard Nixon defied the will of the vast majority of American people and decided to have his little war despite all the public protests on the evening news every night, claiming 'The Silent Majority' was with him. According to Nixon, most people supported him by their silence. Since there was no way to prove that the silent majority was also against him, he exerted his will over the will of the people. Until the invention of the Internet, we had no voice, so they could consider us a 'Silent Majority' and much of the evil in this world is perpetrated even today under this banner. With the invention of the Internet, they can no longer claim that a silent majority is on their side. There can no longer be any silent majorities. As the majority, we must be allowed to express our will on every subject - daily and today we have the power to do so. By working towards a Utopian state - something that can never be fully realized - we can learn how to fight the forces of evil on a daily basis and even be triumphant against them now and for all time to come. I have grown to become a Utopianist. From the publication of this and other books - I hope to attract others. See less
