For those who care about the truth and rely on the power of reason, this book delivers hope and a foundation for creating a better future for our country and our people.
In an age when political agenda trumps truth, when political one upmanship seems to be more important than the public good, and when the economy is both hostile and unforgiving, having access to the unvarnished facts about our country can make a world of difference.
The Relevance of Reason - Business and Politics uses facts to lay the foundation for gaining a true understanding of where we really are. By looking at 'Modern America,' our country from 1957 to the present, and 'Current America,' the country as it is today, we can examine our situation with both context and perspective. Mack Borgen's only agenda is to present a wealth of facts neutrally so people of all political, economic, and philosophical persuasions can engage in thoughtful consideration of what's really wrong and how we might make it right.
About the Author:

The Hard Facts and Real Data About the State of Current America - Business and Politics by Mack W. Borgen
The Sanctamooja And Me is about author Mel Brown's young life spent in Washington state's Spokane-Coeur d'Alene area and on his grandparents' farm in northern Idaho. He was born in 1940 and that was back when boys could be boys and they were. Reading this book will make readers wonder how Brown and his brothers lived past nine years old. They played hard and the author is sure that their parents also prayed hard that their sons would live through their boyhood, their adolescence and become responsible adults. It is about a charmed existence that the author now looks back on with wise humor and with the same love for life he had when he was young. It is an amazing reading adventure about a country boy that reflects the child in every person who motivates them to live life to the fullest.
