• A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn.


• The Zinn Reader by Howard Zinn.

• Toxic Relief by Don Colbert, M.D.


• Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough by Elmer L. Towns.

Classes I'm taking
It's the summer and so I'm taking it "easy." I'm only enrolled in 3 courses for the summer term at TVI, and they're all online courses. I've also gone back to a full-time schedule at work. These are the classes I'm taking:

• Nutrition 120: Personal and Practical Nutrition


• CIS 145: Introduction to Computer Networking


• CIS 164: Beginning HTML

Political stuff that interests me

• Why are we still in Iraq?


• Venezuela's social programs


• History of our country we didn't learn in school


• Class struggles. What causes different classes and what can we do about this?


• Children should not suffer. We should stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. (Uganda and elsewhere.)


• Homeless people. How to help them and what are the factors that lead to homelessness?
