Book Review Battling
Democracy's Decline
jus bluesBOOK REVIEW -- By Willie Hunter -- Title:  "Battling Democracy's Decline" by Michael Mills ,,,  It looks like passionate citizen of Georgia - Michael Mills is ready to give you the word on how things can really change for the positive in his new published book titled "Battling Democracy's Decline" ,,, The new book (published by Booksurge) sets out a clear view of how we lost much of our 'activism' and the 273 page  book tells us how can reclaim this important part of our Democratic tradition ,,,  To inspire you to greater service - author Mills starts out with a quote from one of America's greatest Presidents - Franklin D. Roosevelt ,,,
 
Mr. Mills tells it like it really is and he lays out three points that are sure to help you get involved in the change that is possible in America.  This three point program is designed to get you off of your 'apathy' and out in the community and in the world making a difference.  The articulate writer and political candidate says that we can't just sit back and wait for leaders to bring 'government to our door step' - but we must go to them and let them know the issues that are important to us.  Public officials respond to those who are passionate about the issues.
 
Michael Mills also tells us to 'get to know' our elected officials and 'get others involved' who share many of our basic beliefs.  The good news the author tells us is that political involvement - such as voting by younger citizens has improved during the last several years. During the time when voting and participation in the process declined - author Mills blames the older generation's lack of interest in passing on the tradition of 'activism' in the Democratic process. The author goes on to conclude by saying that we must take action if Democracy is to survive.  He says that each of us must take part in it.
 



The Buzz By Willie Hunter
kick assThe Buzz - Motion Picture Review -- Kick-Ass ,,,  This new motion picture really lives up its name -- "Kick - Ass" ,,,  The film stars Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Mark Strong, Nicolas Cage, Chloe' Grace Moretz and others ,,,  There is enough fast and furious 'kick-ass' action in this film to get you through the rest of the sping and summer seasons ,,,  The film is based on the comic book by Mark Milar and John Romika ,,, The film is directed by Matthew Vaughn ,,, Actor Brad Pitt is one of the movie's producers ,,,    
 
It seems that super nerdy and geeky high school-er - Dave (Aaron Johnson) - has dreams of helping people who are in trouble by becoming the super hero - Kick - Ass ,,,  This once unnoticed teen becomes a sensation as the bold and brave - Kick - Ass ,,, But however - when he gets in over his head - well - there is an even more awesome hero duo - Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and his well trained 11 year old daughter Hit Girl (Chloe' Grace Moretz) ,,,  It also seems that Big Daddy and Hit Girl have an even bigger agenda (they are not just here to help Kick - Ass with those pesky street crimes) in wiping out a big time crime boss (played by Mark Strong) and his organization ,,,
 
Well - there is plenty of action and ass kicking going on as audiences cheer on the fighting prowess of Hit Girl ,,,  Big Daddy and daughter succeed in wiping out this big time crime organization - but BD's life is sacrificed in the process ,,, This reporter saw the film and audience members applauded loudly in response to various action packed scenes and they did the same when the movie ended ,,,
