And part-time, at least, I have a consulting, training and public speaking business. And I write the books. However, it's all the same work. These are just different manifestations of it. But you've used the Burke novels to educate more people than you ever could as a lecturer or a nonfiction writer.
People have to read the books and talk to other people.
Because the truth is educating the American public is a bloody waste of time. This nonsense about 'consciousness raising' is a shock. The failure to impact self-interest equals the failure to get anything done. Truthfully, I don't understand the purpose of it. I'm always surprised by the people who just ignore it, thinking that it will never happen to them.
