Anyone Th at Works for a Living and Votes Republican Is an Idiot provides an overview of the political plight of the U.S. worker, primarily over the last century. It is intended for those citizens of the United States who work for a living in times of peace and war and who wear a uniform and bear arms to support the nation's war efforts in times of peace and distress. The worker has little or no power individually. Because so much time must be spent earning a living and trying to survive, there is little time for investigating the big picture when it is so obscured by the media, charades, and the truth of the claims, counterclaims and professionally drafted hype disseminated during political and policy campaigns. One of the only powers remaining for workers is collective action through organizations such as unions or their own political party or their votes at the polls. Discover how the capitalist pigs and their PPP (Pig Party Prostitutes) took over the U.S. for the benefi t of the small, wealthy, worldwide aristocracy. We need a progressive worker's party to salvage or restore an independent, viable American democracy and establish the middle class for We the People as intended.
This book was prepared by Clyde and Wenogene Rosser, for our children and any other people that might have an interest in reading it. RAMBLIN ON was chosen for the name because that is just what we are doing. The book is in no order. We collected, over a fifty-year period, many items we thought to be of interest to people in all walks of life. At first our idea was to write a sales manual. We later decided to include something for everyone. For the page header my wife thought, "A PATTERN FOR LIVING" would be appropriate. You need a pattern to make a dress, a quilt, and a birdhouse. In fact you need a pattern to do a good job making almost anything. A blue print is a pattern for building a home. Why not a pattern for living which is the most important thing we do? We believe we have in our book many ideas that will help you build a good, strong, prosperous, happy, healthy and enjoyable life. We know it will answer most all the problems you may have. The book is based on belief and the importance of maintaining a positive mental attitude. We know it is important to live every minute, every hour and every day with positive expectancy. We believe your attitude controls not only your successful living but also your health. We are supported in our belief by many prominent people who have been leaders in our time and also most of the great men and women history has recorded for a few thousand years. They have contributed many fine ideas that have been proven successful for them and many others who have made good use of them. We know you will enjoy reading and benefiting from these thoughts. Just one idea could give you the extra lift, or push, or belief that will cause you to reach your dream goals. The book is filled with motivational thoughts. It is designed to be opened at any page and read. This will lead you to investigate the other pages. Also you will find an index by page number. The index is not in any order as it follows the book. This is intentional and we think and we hope you will enjoy it this way. We feel certain you will find many things you can relate to. If you feel a lot of it is sales oriented remember sixty percent of the people depend totally or partially on sales for their livelihood and that it is Many topics are covered from how to get along with people to weight control. We hope this material will benefit you. We know it will if you use it. You will find quotes from people such as the following we will list plus others not listed here. We quote, Disraeli, Bovee, Arostle, Corbett, Ford, Edison, Johnson, Lincoln, Schweitzer, Emerson, Plato, Socrates, Apostle Paul, Jesus, Thoreau, Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt, King Solomon, Burbank, Kettering, Omar Kahyyam, William James, Galileo, Mark Twain, Kaiser, Voltaire, Shakespeare, Ben Franklin, Hugo, Pasteur, Confucius, Dr Oyle, Carlyle, Darwin and Vandyke. This book will be very helpful in rearing children. It will be helpful for anyone in a negotiating position such as union officials, diplomats, managers, salesman, homemakers or business people in any vocation. Successfully Yours, Clyde E.

The Nature of Theory and Research in Social Psychology aims to provide advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a solid foundation in the logic of theory construction and the experimental method; and to teach students how to read, critically evaluate, and appreciate professional literature in the behavioral sciences. The book is believed to be unique in this latter respect and that it will serve a vital need in several different courses. The book is organized into two parts. Part I contains a detailed exposition of the nature of theory and research. It discusses the nature of formal theory, derivation of hypotheses, and the testing of hypotheses. It explicates in great detail the experimental approach to hypothesis testing. Both formal and informal aspects of a psychological experiment are discussed. Part II includes five chapters that enable students to put their analytical skills to use. Five substantive areas from social psychology have been selected. Each chapter includes three reprinted journal articles, and the chapter may be considered a ""case study"" in the analysis of experimental research in a given problem area. The following topics are covered in this section: dissonance and disconfirmed expectancies; dissonance and severity of initiation, primary-recency in personality impression formation, forewarning and anticipatory attitude change, and dependency and helping.
Granville Stuart (1834-1918) is a quintessential Western figure, a man whose adventures rival those of Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill, or Sitting Bull, and who embodied many of the contradictions of America's westward expansion. Stuart collected guns, herded cattle, mined for gold, and killed men he thought outlaws. But he also taught himself Shoshone, French, and Spanish, denounced formal religion, married a Shoshone woman, and eventually became a United States diplomat.In this fascinating biography, Clyde A. Milner II and Carol A. O'Connor, co-editors of the acclaimed Oxford History of the American West, trace Stuart's remarkable trajectory from his birth in Virginia, through his formative years in the agricultural settlements of Iowa and the mining camps of Gold Rush California, to his rough-and-tumble life in Montana and his rise to prominence as a public figure. Along the way, we see Granville and his brother James battling bandits and horsethieves and becoming leaders of the new Montana territory. The authors explore Granville's life as a cattleman, including his role as the leader of a vigilante force, known as "Stuart's Stranglers," responsible for several hangings in 1884, his abandonment of his half-Shoshone children after his second marriage, his government service in offices ranging from the head of the Butte Public Library to U.S. Minister to Paraguay and Uruguay, and his final years, during which he composed a memoir, Forty Years on the Frontier, still widely read for its dramatic account of the era.Written with narrative flair and a lively awareness of current issues in Western history, As Big as the West fully illuminates the conflicting realities of the frontier, where a man could speak of wiping out "half-breeds" while fathering 11 mixed-race children, and go from vigilante to diplomat in the space of a few years.
