Have you ever sat back and thought about when babies are born if the baby is a boy he gets blue socks, and if the baby is a girl she gets pink socks. Well to be honest I never did, it was until I started to take a real hard look at domestic abuse/violence and wanted to trace this gender divide as for back as I could that the thought of why blue socks and pink socks came up for me. As I thought about it more and more I started to understand that this divide between boys and girls played a real big role in divide between men and women. From birth boys and girls have been looked at in different ways, now I could understand that from a physical stand point they are, but I am not speaking about the physical body. When I say looked at differently I am speaking in terms of a power dynamic that is placed upon both, the boy is to be stronger and more dominate "Blue Socks" while the girl is looked at as weaker and more submissive "Pink Socks". Now if one is suppose to be stronger "Blue Socks "and the other weaker "Pink Socks" it would be no real surprise to a society that the boundary lines between men and women are blurred. It would be so unfair of me to place blame on one parent the other because both are equal in the process of be life system the child has us. She/he grows up "please make a note of she/he no he/she". What I will attempts to do by writing this small book is give it my best shot to bring more of an understanding to what is known as "Man Rules". What are man rules; man rules are thought, understandings, and belief thus shape the core belief system of men, these rules are given to young boys and show them how a man should be. Please understand that I do understand that there are things that young boys should be taught that will help them live a very productive life, but what we will look at in this book are the rules that are destructive and lead to abuse and violence.

East Texas Motor Freight, iconically and fondly remembered as ETMF, is a symbol of what many would call the "romance" of the highway, the lure of the open road. So this book is a living history, the recounting of some of the most humorous and entertaining stories ever to come around the bend of a two-lane blacktop! Preserved on these pages is a treasure trove of anecdotes and recollections by the people who lived the trucking life. You will read stories that flow with the character and language of the people who were not only the custodians of the legends surrounding the development of trucking, but who were also an authentic part of the story itself. The people who birthed this freight line were using horses and wagons to haul freight long before gas-powered trucks became a daily reality. ETMF is representative, then, of the whole history of motor freight transportation as it developed on the surface of the land mass known as America.

Someone is killing sexual predators in the city of Markham. Leaving no trace, the murderer clearly has a specific motivation: every victim has been connected to horrific crimes of sexual abuse. Detectives Cathy Stevens and David Hearns must put their personal feelings about the victims aside to crack the case. Their investigation leads them to a support group for victims of sexual abuse, a man with a driving need for human blood, and a cult that traces its history back to the biblical flood. Crossing their paths more than once are Kaye Fowler and Amy Louise Crawford. Driven by her own tragic past, Kaye works tirelessly to help those who can't help themselves. Her impression upon meeting nine-year-old Amy Louise is that the young girl seems to fit this description. Despite her sweet, optimistic personality, she has been continually shifted from one foster home to another. In her efforts to save Amy Louise from a potentially dreadful fate, Kaye uncovers something extraordinary about the child. As Kaye and the detectives unearth the startling darkness at the heart of their own city, each suspect they meet will have to make the choice to either embrace that darkness-or find the light.

Slow L was marked by death at a young age when his stepfather is murdered and mother shot down in front of him. Eight years passed and still trying to outdistance this tragedy but haunted by it every step of the way. Lack of trust made him jump off the porch a little sooner than most kids. Once he learned the Milwaukee streets had real people that acted in the form of animals and orangutans among the living, he knew then he needed to adapt to the Mil-jungle, or get peeled, or eaten alive. Nobody was to be trusted-not a priest, not the police, not his childhood friends, or closest relatives. They made him a gangsta with no explanation as to why.
