           ELECT YOUR PEOPLE'S POLICE                            by Norman Spinrad If something isn't done, and done fast, a civil war in the United States is just a shot or a Molotov Cocktail away. But how and by who?   If there is one American who could stand up before the protesters and be listened to it is surely the one and only former President of the United States, Barack Obama. Live before the largest crowd possible and of course well televised.  What should he say? He should speak the hard truth to the leaderless protesters that what they are doing is counterproductive to their own confusion of diverse and general causes which if even possible would take decades of legislation to accomplish. What is needed  immediately is a strong significant and reachable demand. Demand that the head of all police departments in the United States--cities, towns, st...

THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN

        THE 21ST CENTURY SHAMAN                          Alternate Medicines and the Scientific Method                     by  Norman Spinrad           Written   over a decade ago as a proposal for a book that never got written  but all too pertinent  to the era of the coronavirus                     There are many medical systems on this planet, some of them ancient, some of them new, more of them that not based on metaphorical systems. Only “Western” or “alliopathic” medicine is based on rigorous science.  But many of the traditional non-western systems cure some conditions cure some conditions but not others. Many of these cures work in practice, but not in theory. That is they do work, but not for the reasons the theory behind them conte...

VITAMIN C VERSES CORONAVIRUS Why I've not yet read this anywhere I don't know but that is why I'm duty-bound to do it myself: Vitamin C will be effective against the Coronavirus, personally, and collectively. Vitamin C promotes the body's creation of Interferon which is key to the strength of the immune system. Everyone should take at least 2000mg of Vitamin C, 1000 in the morning, 1000 in the evening, some say another 1000 mid-day. This is not curative, this is cautionary, keeping your immune system running at maximum. If you start to suspect that you may be feeling early symptoms take 1000 mg of Vitamin C an hour until your urine turns bright yellow, which means that your Vitamin C is at maximum and you are pissing away the rest. This will not always stop the infection but it frequently will. I am not making this up, it was discovered and elucidated by Linus Pauling, a Nobel class biochemist. Decades ago, I suffered chronic urinary infection like many men. When I ...

WHAT DOESN'T KILL LOVE MAKES IT STRONGER

                                    WHAT DOESN'T KILL LOVE MAKES IT STRONGER Dona Sadock and I have lived a half century long love affair and counting, and not a simple or conventional one.  We met at a literary conference in Milford Pennsylvania in 1965.  I had just published my first novel and was on my way from New York to California on a great road adventure, she was going to go to Europe. It was not love at first sight for me, it was love at first conversation. When the conference was over, I told her to get in the car with me, not really believing she would, and she didn't. I ended up chasing her back and forth between California and New York, never exactly catching her, but our destiny together had begun. As lifelong best friends, even while married to other people, as sometimes lovers living together, bouncing back and forth between New York and Los Angeles for both of us...

EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS SEE THE LIGHT?

EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS SEE THE LIGHT? Read it on Christianity Today:                      by Marc Galli In our founding documents, Billy Graham explains that  Christianity Today  will help evangelical Christians interpret the news in a manner that reflects their faith. The impeachment of Donald Trump is a significant event in the story of our republic. It requires comment. The typical CT approach is to stay above the fray and allow Christians with different political convictions to make their arguments in the public square, to encourage all to pursue justice according to their convictions and treat their political opposition as charitably as possible. We want CT to be a place that welcomes Christians from across the political spectrum, and reminds everyone that politics is not the end and purpose of our being. We take pride in the fact, for instance, that politics does not dominate our homepage. That said, we do...

Story of the week--THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERE ---more or less once a week I'll post a freebie story here on NORMAN SPINRAD AT LARGE---one time non-exclusive reprint rights only

For decades I tried to write a story from the viewpoints of dolphins or whales and failed. For decades people have tried to speak to dolphins in their own language and failed. This story, first published in Asimov's Magazine , is about why. Dolphins and whales don't have languages because they don't need them. They've got something much better.                             THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERE                                            by Norman Spinrad In the 1960s there was a band called Blue Cheer whose claim to be the loudest rock and roll band on the planet went unchallenged.  They would play in intimate club venues standing right in front of the same monster speakers used in stadiums.  They were so loud that many aficionados of their recorded music fled in physically agony fro...
