    About this ebook

    I have been trying to get published for fifteen years. Many years ago Dorrance sent me a contract which was very enticing but very expensive. Everything including vanity press has become affordable, so I decided to go with IUniverse. But Triond and Glimmer Train took place in the evolution before IUniverse. The painting is my daughters; she is an aspiring artist. This is my first attempt at having a book. It was hard for me to concentrate. Call it attention deficit for having a wife and two kids. I thank Glimmer Train for not publishing my work. Between them and Taco Bell I almost gave up. But after browsing online publishing for about eight hours one Saturday I found Triond. They may have taken the place of the old school, black and white marble composition books from the nineteen seventies. With their permission I present twenty three articles published by them and presented by IUniverse hopefully in some coherent fashion. I look forward to providing my readers something a bit more risqu in the future, something I call anti PORN. Keep your eyes peeled.

    Trevor Randal Skeene was born in Saint John’s Episcopal hospital which has since been torn down. Brooklyn used to cry, “County of Kings!” Now's it’s Kingsborough. Flatbush is now East New York. Shout outs go to Herbert Randal and ETHNE Harris for thirty years in the BK and another thirty in Florida. Thanks to Jewel Rupert for the Lilith idea; that would be the nucleus for brown recluse (the anti PORN).

      Chinese Charter Schools

      For the past fifty years Georgia schools were on the bottom of the totem pole of American education. Anything before 1964 did not count because the country was deep in Jim Crow just getting over itself concerning separate but equal. Princeton was at the head of the academic forecast setting the tone for an educated nation whose best schools came out of seminaries. It was not until the 1996 Olympics when the world came to Atlanta that the southeastern most hub of human traffic opened its portal to occidental and oriental settlement. The Chinese came to Atlanta to stay. China was dissatisfied with her social development in the United States despite her technical prowess, so the great wall decided she wanted commensurate social network to match her achievements in science and engineering. Atlanta was the place to stake this claim. But the Empire of the sun was about to meet the good old boys and the old guard of the antebellum south. It was interesting to hear my ten year olds godmother explain her dilemma that she did not want her three year old to lose Spanish translation which she gleaned from her day care from the age of three months because she wanted to enroll her daughter in one of many charter schools which had popped up in Gwinnett county, because the schools offered Mandarin instead of Spanish. I pondered her plight thinking her argument was typical of 2011 and the fact that Gwinnett had a dual personality slash Asian slash Latin split personality. One drive north on Buford highway to Gainesville Georgia would reveal highway 23 is decidedly occidental and oriental at the same time. Then I met Sonny Purdue for the first and last time in the governor’s mansion on Paces Ferry road and was struck by lightning. The American resistance to Mandarin had nothing to do with the language itself. It was a concession. A people with the potential to infuse trillions of dollars into the American economy were not willing to completely assimilate into that economy at the risk of losing their national identity. The reason why the charter schools were started in the first place was because the immigrants did not trust American education. They were moving to Atlanta but they were not sinking to the depths of mental acumen just to live in the south; there was going to be an abacus next to the pitcher of country time lemonade on the wraparound porch with the rocking chair and porch fan. Southern living was an experiment in social evolution with quaint accents and grinning hospitality but the investment was not going to be made at the expense of cutting edge mathematical achievement and computational agility. But it was not unlike southeastern State government to resist change. This was after all the south, old times lost but not forgotten. So there had to be appeasement. Georgia would crack its mighty doors a little. Before and after 1996 Atlanta doubled from two or three million to five million. But if the peach state had opened its doors all the way that number would have been more like fifty million. Shanghai had to migrate somewhere. This was the concession. You can build your own schools as long as residents can also attend. And your curriculum can teach old boys and girls how to speed up their math. And America needs jobs because Terry Gou has nearly one million employees and some of them are in Houston. But we’re not going to open the door all the way. What would Georgia do with forty five million more souls? There’s no place to put them. So in exchange for all this development of the infrastructure we give you Mandarin. That’s right. For bringing the northwest corner of Georgia into the twenty first century you get to teach our good old American boys and girls Mandarin. You’re welcome. Because in American government that’s how we do it. Open the door ten degrees not one hundred and seventy degrees. Give a little. Take a lot. And life as we know it in the United States is once again preserved. God bless the USA

      Public Transportation

      Marta established itself around Hartsfield Jackson airport near camp creek parkway in what would be Fulton county Georgia. The rail which used to end in Doraville formed a crucifix within the perimeter of highway 285 whose nerve center was five points just like gangs of New York so eloquently portrayed by Scorcese and Leonardo DiCaprio. Atlanta was able to duplicate New York City and the circular pattern of the District of Columbia within its own subway system; commercial airline commuters would jump the rail and dead end in the airport itself, not to
