Dedication
This book is humbly written with respect and dedication to all the good, well motivated people in North American Society, and that means most of them. The others are much written of in a different light in both Volume One and Volume Two of “THEY” Cripple Society.
Introduction
This book is an exposé about fine, clean cut, often highly intelligent, well charactered, cultured, down to earth people and the discrimination widely practiced against them. These people are often exceptional in one or more ways, not necessarily academically, though that may be, and they have the potential to make a wonderful contribution to life. Some academics have a problem with this, as if academically is the only way to be exceptional. Indeed, it is one of the most noble. But there are other ways. For example, a well known publication tells us of shy people: “Shyness in its milder forms is associated with traits such as greater empathy, more acute perceptiveness, canny intuition, and beneficent sensitivity. All qualities that are nothing to be shy about.” (U.S. News & World Report, Inc., June 21, 1999, P.57, New York, N.Y.) This is just one instance among many where a person can be exceptional in a manner that numerous academics are not, and it should be an accepted fact by them and others.
However, a considerable portion of the general population, in high places and low, for various reasons which are stated and illustrated by case stories in the book, discriminate against these fine exceptional people in ways that often amount to gross mental abuse. The practice, though widely exercised, has seldom been recognized for what it is: severe, often intentional damaging of human personhood and character, or attempts at such. This is a story of mental cruelty; of a long overlooked social problem and its effects on government, industry, commerce, education, and including, by no means least, many branches of the Christian church. It is also a story of often victorious living on the part of the victims, despite the abuse they have to, sometimes continuously, deal with.
Use is herein made of the vehicle of a fictional support group of fine people in a fictional setting, who are willing to share their problems of discrimination against them because of the kind of people they are. The book describes at length the actions of the abusers and the effects of it on the victims and on society as a whole. The many and varied, both subtle and not so subtle, twists and turns the mind-games and other actions of the abusers take are described in detail.
The subject matter of this writing is intentionally extensive and detailed in order to verify that the experiences of the afflicted characters are not isolated incidents in their lives, but rather an almost continuous and stress laden way of life that such people have to live. It is par for the course for fine people most everywhere, but
