    About this ebook

    In our lives we have many life-experiences that we either revel in or hate. Many of us go through innumerable encounters without doing anything about the negative ones. Then one day, for no known reason we begin to counter the negativity forced upon us and we try to do something about it, it invariably never works but makes us feel better?
    These stories have evolved from life-experience of a mish-mash concern that this modern environment forces upon us that we can do nothing about except complain. You may find them stupid maybe arrogant, offensive, yet think deeply and you may see that our society is being moulded by conformity to what ends no one knows.
    Book 1 covered various observations in no particular time-order. Over the past decades things that stirred Lee induced just writing about them thereby, somehow, relieving his angst. Book 2 continues such observations and extends into other areas as his little, "I" attempted to make sense relieving his angst.

    Lee Macabre is my pen-name derived from frequenting Le-Macabre coffee bar in Soho, UK, many, many years ago.I am a retired electronic Engineer having been involved in R&D all my life until I 'accepted' Red-Dundancy.Luckily a job-opportunity came along involving teaching Electrotechnology that I successfully attained and continued for another 15 years until I was considered 'too-old' and told to retire?So now, apart from trying to keep the grass cut, i have been turning some of my eBooks into Screenplays in order not to mentally atrophy.

      FOREWARD:

      In our lives we have many life-experiences that we either revel in or hate. Many of us go through innumerable encounters without doing anything about the negative ones. Then one day, for no known reason we begin to counter the negativity forced upon us and we try to do something about it, it invariably never works but makes us feel better?

      These stories have evolved from life-experience of a mish-mash concern that this modern environment forces upon us that we can do nothing about except complain. You may find them stupid maybe arrogant, offensive, yet think deeply and you may see that our society is being moulded by conformity to what ends no one knows.

      Book 1 covered various observations in no particular time-order. Over the past decades things that stirred Lee induced just writing about them thereby, somehow, relieving his angst. Book 2 continues such observations and extends into other areas as his little, I attempted to make sense relieving his angst.

      About the Author:

      Lee Macabre is currently working on Book 3.

      CONTENTS: Bidirectional hyperlinks.

      To be male or something 'else':

      I am 'me' most of the time, but when 'I' drive who really does?

      Herds of ungulates:

      Are fundamentalists bicameral?

      At night we sleep, and for 99% of each day we *are* asleep."

      We cannot be conscious of when we are unconscious.

      My wife and I are a cult:

      To spoof or not to spoof:

      What is a natural physiological function:

      Should we let our kids surf or watch TV?

      What is a natural 'biospheriological' function:

      Enemy Mine!

      My Taqia is only my perception:

      "The meek shall inherit the earth."

      Oh, brother mine, we bleed because we dress and believe differently:

      Treason is still a capital offence in UK!

      When you look in a mirror is your chirality evident?

      To be male or something 'else' -- That is the Question?

      Lee Macabre comments about 'Feminism' maybe 'gone awry?'

      It appears that a restaurant in a major Australian town has copped the 'SS' treatment from the 'Femi Nazi' (ibid: John Laws - a very popular radio personage) Lobby. The restaurant owner decided to employ waitresses with 'sexy' attire. 'Whys' and 'wherefores' doesn't matter. So, a 'female' or one who perhaps, is better termed 'Not-Male' to comply with current thinking, objected and into the 'box' this problem ejaculated. There have been 'topless' waitresses, no? So where's the problem?

      (One could see problems with the 'topless' servers -- 'please stir my soup with your left-one', would definitely be a concern, even more of a concern with male, bottomless waiters? )

      But what's wrong with 'nymph-attire'? 'The females are being used as 'sex objects' is the response. Totally misconstrued by the left-lobe. We are all sex objects Male and female. It all went wrong when the law attempted to pacify minorities with the 'big-voting-capability' a problem with 'left-lobe' consciousness? Lee Macabre imagines:

      TO BE A POLLIE That is the Something Else?

      Alphonso's 'Cuisenaire Restaurant' had a good chef very good food and location but not enough customers. He had an idea! Let's use waitresses with scanty attire. Brilliant! So, he put it to the 'girls' and they liked the idea. The clientele boomed!

      This lasted for a short while until the local Feminist, 'Females must not be used as sex objects' Lobby reared like a labia major in heat. Alphonso got worried but then, as usual, had another idea. The male scanty clad waiters complemented the female ones admirably. The Feminist Lobby objections were defoliated just like throwing a bucket of water over a pair of dogs mating!

      This lasted for a short while until the local Homosexual, 'There are more sexes than male and female' Lobby reared like a pile ruptured. Alphonso got worried but then, as usual, had another idea. The homosexual scanty clad waiteresses complemented the male and female ones admirably. The Homosexual Lobby objections were analiated!

      This lasted for a short while until the local Lesbian, 'There are even more sexes than male, female and homosexual'
