by John Reit (September 25, 2006)

For those of you – and I know there are a few of you out there – who regularly visit Amarxica, I must apologize for the two months of inactivity. Some of you might know that I am pretty much the only one writing for and running Amarxica. So occasionally, life tends to get in the way. With vacations and a promotion at work, I found myself with less time to devote to something in which I still believe.

To some, this might be a joke or a waste of my time. To me, it is my way of not giving up on my country without a fight (no matter how week it might be). So, let me just say that I plan to once again devote my efforts to Amarxica, and I hope you might do the same.

Now for a small change: Sometimes, the absence of material for Amarxica comes from a lack of material – not proof that America is becoming more and more socialist, but perhaps the time and effort I'm afforded to find it. So, instead of narrowing my focus strictly to economics, I am expanding Amarxica's content to include the values that lead toward socialism, and ultimately, the collapse of the Republic.

I hope you will once again indulge me in my “waste of time.”

However, I get the impression that it’s not really accepting financial and material perks from the wealthy is not the act with which society has a problem. The kept women would be just fine, if only their benefactors officially employed them. More...
