Five Finger Discount
Five finger discount is street slang for shoplifting, or just plain stealing. This story highlights the unwept misdeeds of several petty shoplifters, and reveals the consequences of their actions. Although, the motives driving several characters in this story are drug related, such is not the case in all pilfering situations. Extreme poverty, mental issues, the desire to simply own something not affordable, to, simply, wanting something to eat, are just a few reasons people steal from stores. I also include a tale about a hardened criminal who robs for no other reason than it's his nature. Also, included, for you business owners, is a less than comprehensive list of shoplifting techniques. Read, enjoy, and learn.
Detroit Street Gang
Dawg, Blade, Horse, and Gadget, were four small-time, neighborhood, street thugs, who found each other and decided to form a gang, but hardened criminals they weren't. Weren't, that is, until they tried their hands at car jacking, which led to a guilt ridden rape of an innocent young woman, and then an amateurish failed attempt at robbing a liquor store while nearly getting caught by POPO. From then on they tried bigger crimes while failing at most. Between their inept attempts at criminal activity, Blade, Horse, and Gadget partied with Dawg's sister, Samantha, or Sam for short, who was a strung out crack addict, and who didn't want to trick on the streets, while preferring to date the gang ...

Women Writing Women
While these playwrights articulate concerns similar to those of their male counterparts—social injustice, the question of identity, the role of art, the power of writing—their feminist perspectives offer a fresh view of Spanish America by challenging traditional male representations of women. While the plays humorously reveal the cultural and social politics of each country, they also examine seriously the absurdities of everyday life. The playwrights include Isidora Aguirre (Chile), Sabina Berman (Mexico), Myrna Casas (Puerto Rico), Teresa Marichal (Puerto Rico), Diana Raznovich (Argentina), Mariela Romero (Venezuela), Beatriz Seibel (Argentina), and Maruxa Vilalta (Mexico).
The Battle For Sam Jacinto
Just as affable young Texan Marshall Morris is heading off to college, he tumbles into love with Mallory, a diminutive Black cheerleader. Prone to blunder innocently into predicaments he least expects, his romance threatens to crater when he befriends a crusty group of old vets bent on saving the teardown and desecration of a war memorial statues. At first, he is clueless how his narrow beliefs can negatively affect surrounding people who matter. It takes the painful loss of Mallory for him to experience an epiphany and recognize the folly of honoring false "heroes", who upheld slavery and white supremacy. The situation is vastly different, however, when a local developer attempts to destroy...
Robert Morris's Folly
In 1798 Robert Morris—“financier of the American Revolution,” confidant of George Washington, former U.S. senator—plunged from the peaks of wealth and prestige into debtors' prison and public contempt. How could one of the richest men in the United States, one of only two founders who signed the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution, suffer such a downfall? This book examines for the first time the extravagant Philadelphia town house Robert Morris built and its role in bringing about his ruin. Part biography, part architectural history, the book recounts Morris’s wild successes as a merchant, his recklessness as a land speculator, and his unrestrained passion in building his palatial, doomed mansion, once hailed as the most expensive private building in the United States but later known as “Morris’s Folly.” Setting Morris’s tale in the context of the nation’s founding, this volume refocuses attention on an essential yet nearly forgotten American figure while also illuminating the origins of America’s ongoing, ambivalent attitudes toward the superwealthy and their sensational excesses.
