The Lost Cannibals of Cahokia: why mankind resorts back to the primitive

This is a bit long, but is the result of about twenty years of investigation and thought on my part. In short, the reason I love Ayn Rand's Anthem so much is because of these well known--yet ignored facts about the relationship of Cahokia--America's first city--and the modern day human being.

    That was a good read. "Cameron is interested, but totally confused." Gah! You know how to keep people hanging. ;]

      I'm impressed that you took the time! Screenplays are different, but the story there has a message. And I had to do that. One of these days someone will put that project together and tell the whole story. But for Cameron, things work out well. : )

          My son-in-law has been after me to do it that way. You should see the "crazy" stuff............the action. I only put the boring stuff up. : )

          Agents told me that it was "unrealistic." That stuck in my throat in very painful way until I read The Fountainhead. Then I understood why I was told such a thing.

            Unrealistic? BS! If what I read is the 'boring stuff' the rest should be a great success.

            The Fountainhead is an amazing book. It - and Atlas, woke me up to the fear that our 'superiors' have of our ability to create. Both are controversial & encourage us to be bold in our ideas & disregard the rest.

            I've written/co-written eight albums worth of music in the past decade & got nowhere so far. I'm still not giving up.
