In his early adult years he started studying why people think the way they do. “It is a never ending study” he says. “That’s what makes it so interesting.” In his early life, Larry first lived in rural Missouri, then Tennessee. In his teenage years, his family moved to Florida. And except for a seven-year period “trying out Wyoming” as he calls it, he still lives in Florida. He says he has to live in a tropical climate with the ocean close by. He is a retired Respiratory Therapist.
In the mid 90s, he took a class on how to open one’s mind to an unlimited way of thinking. It was then that he started developing different ideas about who we are as a people. He realized we were blaming everything on “them”—the government for our misery, the manufacturing corporations for polluting our environment, the real estate developers for destroying our environment, etc., etc. But he realized we were the ones that made up the government, we were the ones that wanted to use the products of the manufacturers, and we were the ones living where the developers developed. He realized it was “us” just as much as it was “them” that constituted the problem. He was thinking about writing an article about it. But when the ideas just kept coming, it turned into a book. “Getting the ideas down on paper was the easy part”, he says. Trying to get them organized into something readable was something else. Over the years he had many false starts. Then he tried to forget the whole thing, but he couldn’t. Finally, a couple years ago, he sat down and got to work, and this is the result.view less
