Ignorance Is Contagious!

True stories and Life Lessons of Foolishness, Stupidity, and Buffoonery

“This book is a page turner from beginning to end. The stories are both relatable, and hysterical, with dead on advice that make you go hmmmm” - Karim Orange, Eco activist/ Huffington Post Blogger “Abdul Majid’s Ignorance is Contagious is vividly alive with great stories, plenty of laughs, and hard-won life lessons. Young people will learn from it, and so will their parents.” -Ronald K. Fried, author of “My Father’s Fighter” “Sometimes wisdom comes from the most unlikely and humorous of places” —Amy Linden, Arts Critic “Like its author, Ignorance is Contagious is profane, funny and heartfelt. This is a memorable collection of modern-day fables that are real and shed light on how we live today.” —Rodney Stringfellow, Screenwriter and Educator “ABDUL MAJID is able to capture the spoken word in writing. His writing style is natural with flow and above all his wit is wise.” —Emily Cohen, Television Producer “Fresh, innovative, enlightening, and (what I love most) comical . . . . Ignorance Is Contagious, offers alternative solutions for those situations when keeping it real goes wrong” —Pretty Ricki Fontaine, Comedian

Power!

A Blackout Conspiracy

Power! exposes the foreign manipulation of U.S. financial markets, which caused us to create the ‘anti-nuke’ movement and covertly collapse our own nuclear energy program! The United States announced plans in 1965 to build one thousand nuclear power plants. Americans praised the clean, efficient, and economical energy. Fifteen years and only 90 plants later, the U.S. nuclear energy program was effectively aborted. But nuclear power programs still thrive throughout Europe and Asia. Why not in the United States? In the early 1970’s, an American engineer, Duncan Hayward, uncovered a foreign plot to take control of the electric power industry in the United States and thereby crush the U.S. economy. Foreign cartels were buying huge chunks of the U.S. nuclear power industry through an ingenious computerized scheme. Hayward soon realized that the only way to stop them was to remove their primary target, the nuclear power industry itself. Hayward’s plan, approved at the highest government levels, would systematically destroy the nuclear industry. Politicians, celebrities, and news media were used to convey messages of fear and environmental disaster to the general public. Hayward and his supporters executed the odious ‘anti-nuke’ plan and the U.S. nuclear energy program collapsed, taking with it the foreign cartels.

Squiggie's Night Out

Squiggie Mousenip's dad, Fred, has been missing for several weeks. The food at the Mousenip house is running low, and Squiggie feels responsible for providing for his mother and twin sisters, Kara and China. His first attempt to find food, with the help of his cousins, Ned and Carl, almost cost them their lives as the old barn cat, Jinks, was waiting for them. But Squiggie is determined! Squiggie's mother sends him to bed without dinner as punishment for leaving his sisters alone while adventuring to the barn, which is off limits. His failure to find food hurts worse than the wound Jinks inflicted on his ear. Kara and China sneak into his room to tell him they love him and to see his injured ear and remind him of Mocha, the clawless cat who lives in Farmer Brown's house, another source of food. Squiggie decides that a clawless cat couldn't possibly catch him. Serious about bringing food home, Squiggie ventures out on a stormy night. What he finds in Farmer Brown's house makes his heart flutter, and it will take all of Squiggie's bravery and ingenuity to accomplish his mission.

Riding the Wave Inside Out

Life is a complicated process. It begins with having to completely rely on and trust in another's beliefs, ideas, and decisions. By the time we first wonder for ourselves, we may find that we are already bound by someone else's expectations, desires, and dreams, which in itself may lead us to live lives of compromise and unfulfilled hopes. The lives we live, the roads we travel, and the way our paths unfold are for us to shape and direct ~ in our experiences and in the dreams we choose to pursue. Author Anita Allison offers insight and support through the teachings in riding the wave inside-out to help us realize what we need to understand and do to ensure that the paths we choose and the choices we make will enable us to create the best life possible. The ideas and thoughts she shares in riding the wave inside out serve as reminders of all the simple truths in life. These concepts act as guides to living in the moment with joy, appreciation, and a sound purpose.

“When we choose to cheat, lie and take the easier path, it will never lead us to the
great things in life, it will never bring us true success and happiness; we will
always be short-changed, for we always get what we give. What goes around
comes around, it always does. Never lie to yourself. Always be honest with
yourself. If the truth hurts, just remember that a lie will lead to so much more hurt
and will also bring embarrassment, guilt and regret. Nothing good comes easy,
right'? Often ...

Surviving Midlife with Style

Although midlife has been traditionally viewed as a time of decline, science and experience are demonstrating that most of our fears are unsupported. For many women it can be a time to rediscover important aspects of themselves that have been left due to the responsibilities of motherhood and careers. In Stable Wisdom, lifelong horsewoman Shirley Potterton provides a one-of-a-kind guide for women on a midlife journey that encourages transformation and positive changes with the help of an equine companion. Potterton, whose love for horses was rekindled at midlife, relies on experiences from her own journey of self-discovery as well as others’ to share powerful tools and exercises to help women embrace the wisdom of an intuitive creature in order to move forward, develop new skills, and utilize innate strengths. Through a step-by-step plan that can be applied with or without a horse, women can learn how to • listen to the inner voice for direction; • create and renew energy levels; • develop a courageous approach to life; • bring insight, wisdom, and experience to leadership roles; and • initiate self-reflection without judgment. Stable Wisdom provides valuable guidance, tools, and confidence for any woman in midlife who dares to think big and is ready to discover her own unique wisdom and implement exciting life changes.
