Another bookstore owner has labeled "Dancing on His Grave" too grim to include in her stock of books. Why does revealing the animal-like underbelly of human nature make "nice people" uncomfortable? Was it Thomas Jefferson who said, (paraphrased) "All it takes for tyranny to prevail is for good men to do nothing." Please, you "good men (and women)," rethink your position. Suck up your queasiness and get involved, for the sake our our innocents. Don't let tyranny, among the most vulnerable members of our society, prevail.

I'm told that the web address I gave for the infamous Mecum brothers doesn't work. Let's try this one. It's worth visiting. Again, these guys are my great uncles (my grandmother's brothers, on my dad's side.) http://www.asphistory.com/mec-menu.htm

I have fun discussing this with my husband Jim. His great-uncle (on his mother's side) Dick Logan was building an airport in Billings, Montana, at the same time as my great-uncles were shooting their way out of prison.

In a few months my journey (compiling "Dancing on His Grave" and "Walking Wounded") will be five years old. In spite of the financial outlay and the disappointment at not yet finding a publisher who shares my vision, it has been gratifying. I will continue to move forward. Occasinally check www.dancingonhisgrave.com. It will be a website soon.

Thanks for posting, Patia. Yikes! I didn't read my post before I hit enter. I had lost hope that anyone would ever read it. So I got sloppy.
