    The One Armed Whiskey Man of Jackass Canyon daylights a newly excavated vein in the Golden State of mind. It follows the unbelievably true life and times of accidental California pioneer Thomas D Carneal III. His prominent Northern Kentucky clan carved an ironic notch into the whiskey rebellion of 1790's and beyond. Out of the blue, tragedy struck, and the family legacy ricocheted off to the wilds of 1850’s Northern California, landing on a historic rancho, shortly after California statehood. It’s a fun, whiskey fueled romp that details a broad swath of Nor Cal history from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era. This unbelievably true story concludes with the zeitgeist of creative lawlessness rampant in 1920’s Bay Area, where prohibition just never caught on.  A companion PDF is available on select platforms that provides historical photos relating to each chapter.

    Childhood and Love -...

    Love, in all its forms, is the cornerstone of human connection. From the moment we are born, our ability to form meaningful relationships is shaped by the experiences we have with those closest to us. These early interactions create an emotional blueprint that influences how we perceive love, trust others, and navigate relationships throughout our lives. While we may not always be conscious of these influences, they run deep, silently informing our choices and behaviors in ways that often feel instinctive. 
      
    At the heart of understanding love lies the concept of attachment. The bonds we form with caregivers in childhood provide the foundation for our emotional development. A child who feels consistently supported and valued is likely to grow into an adult with the capacity for healthy, secure relationships. Conversely, a lack of stability or warmth in these early years can leave emotional scars, leading to patterns of avoidance, anxiety, or disorganization in adulthood. These patterns are not fixed but can be understood, explored, and ultimately transformed with insight and effort. 
      
    This book is an invitation to explore how your early experiences have shaped your understanding of love and relationships. By delving into the science of attachment, family dynamics, and emotional development, we aim to uncover the ways in which childhood molds our ability to connect with others. You will learn how unconscious patterns from your past may resurface in your adult relationships, sometimes creating challenges that seem impossible to overcome.

    Most people believe that they were either benefited or at least not harmed by being brought into existence. Thus, if they ever do reflect on whether they should bring others into existence—rather than having children without even thinking about whether they should—they presume that they do them no harm. Better Never to Have Been challenges these assumptions. David Benatar argues that coming into existence is always a serious harm. Those who never exist cannot be deprived. However, by coming into existence one does suffer quite serious harms that could not have befallen one had one not come into existence. Drawing on the relevant psychological literature, the author shows that there are a number of well-documented features of human psychology that explain why people systematically overestimate the quality of their lives and why they are thus resistant to the suggestion that they were seriously harmed by being brought into existence. The author then argues for the "anti-natal" view—that it is always wrong to have children—and he shows that combining the anti-natal view with common pro-choice views about fetal moral status yield a "pro-death" view about abortion. Although counter-intuitive for many, that implication is defended, not least by showing that it solves many conundrums of moral theory about population.

    As we delve deeper into this topic, we will navigate the intricate web of influences that drive these behaviors. From the powerful force of peer pressure to the allure of projecting a particular social image, urban youth often find themselves at a crossroads where their choices are influenced by a myriad of factors. The accessibility of vaping products and drugs in urban environments, coupled with the lack of awareness about their consequences, further complicates the landscape. Moreover, we will explore how, for some urban youth, vaping and substance use serve as coping mechanisms for the stress, trauma, and mental health challenges they face. The quest for social acceptance and recognition may sometimes lead them down a path of experimentation that can have lasting implications. 
     This exploration is not merely an academic exercise but a crucial endeavor to shed light on the dynamics of urban youth culture and to provide insights that can inform prevention and intervention strategies. By understanding the motivations behind these behaviors, I aim to empower educators, parents, community leaders, and the youth themselves to make informed decisions and foster healthier environments. Each chapter of this book will delve into a different facet of this complex issue, offering perspectives, research findings, and strategies for addressing the challenges posed by vaping and substance use among urban youth. Through knowledge and understanding, we can work collectively to support urban youth in making choices that lead to healthier and more positive outcomes. 
    Join me on this journey of exploration and discovery as we seek to comprehend why urban youth smoke vapes and do drugs to impress their peers and, in doing so, strive to create a better future for them and their communities.
