  2. What sets Tottenville History Comes Alive apart? The "Imagine" sections let you experience history: what you'd see, hear, feel in 1680 or 1776. Journalism meets historical research meets experiential learning.
    Two volumes are available covering 17th-18th centuries. If this approach to local history worked for you, Amazon reviews help it reach more readers.

  15. They sacrifice innocents, ethical and good people with unfairness, injustice and torture to save guilty, unethical and bad people just because the latter pretend and serve majority thinking they secure the greater good but the only thing they achieve is transforming the greater good into greater evil.

  16. There are always more guilty people who get away with unethical means like killing, threatening, bribing. It is true, they get away with murder and you think they're innocent. Guilty are very good at lying and have no problem lying.

    There is some improbable unfairness that makes the innocent falsely guilty. It becomes widely known and the falsely guilty are considered innocents...

  17. Some people do not want to have sex and consider it rape. However, the system's people they all want sex. The system should keep the people in the system. The system should be just. They consider them innocent and the others guilty. But how. They all pretend to be the exact opposite and create fake evidence for the innocents.

  18. There must be a way to reverse the lies. But it seems that people are made to think this way that once they shape an opinion about someone or something it is very difficult to change it especially for the opposite unless a big issue occurs. And even if they want to do that, if they are part of a system, the system forces them to follow the trend of condemning so as to not exclude them.

  19. Only the guilty survive nowadays and present themselves as innocents in the media. And they make you consider the innocents as guilty. Fascistic! The only way to fix this is to consider the guilty as innocents and the innocents as guilty. The fame is always innocent. Fame is always covered.

  20. There are undisclosed discoveries that are used as weapons against people who are considered to wake up people or prevail an opinion against others. This means that certain people you see as good and innocent might actually be the opposite, evil and guilty by secretly sabotaging innocent people to gain themselves the favoring of others.

  21. They believe the calm guilty and not the wild innocent.

    "Acting is not a profession. It is a human characteristic. Anyone you meet is trying to deceive… …For survival purposes…"

  22. Bit of a historical non-fiction binge recently:

    James and John by Chris Bryant — a deep-dive on the last men executed in Britain for sodomy, an absolute travesty of justice.

    Strangers by Graham Robb — older book, subtitled Homosexual Love in the Nineteenth Century and does what it says on the box — single-handedly prevented me from making the MC of my next book, set in 1842, petrified of getting caught and executed by providing the wider context of the narrow focus of James and John.

    Embers of the Hands by Eleanor Barraclough — excellent, intimate look at the real lives of the Vikings as drawn from their most remarkable artefacts. Highly recommend!

    Empireland by Sathnam Sanghera — an fair-handed overview of British imperialism, good historical account and context for some modern arguments (one inadvertent parallel that struck me: the ill-advised strike of a colonised people against British women and children, followed by the massive literal overkill of the British response, pretty universally condemned now with the distance of the intervening decades and centuries).

    Just started Outrageous Fortunes (about Mary Fortune, early Australian crime writer), and I love her already

    Looking forward to The Palace by Gareth Russell (a social history of Hampton Court Palace) and Vagabonds by Oskar Jensen (life on the streets of nineteenth century London)
