Mike Rowe – Can You Be There By Nine?
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

I really enjoy Mike Rowe. After all I’m a pragmatist . . .
His “Dirty Jobs” series has just been renewed this season and its syndication value and longevity is monumental in the industry. If any of you out there subscribe to Fox Nation, Tucker Carlson did an amazing 2 part interview with Mike that was really fun to watch. I learned Mike sang for the Baltimore Opera and had a very unintuitive career, and life, that helped him formulate the “Dirty Jobs” idea. It’s an odd journey of success that I found fascinating.
Sadly-we lost another funny man:
P. J. O’ Rourke has passed away.
PS.
Bob Saget’s death looks suspect-blunt force trauma…by fall….or blow.
Domestic?

Once had a colleague remark: “I don’t recognize Mike Rowe unless he’s dirty.”
No higher compliment.
