The Invalid Citizen and other stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789785609561)

This is a delightful collection written in a unique voice with refreshing, engaging, and thought provoking contents and subjects.Mira Won-This was a very heartbreaking and intriguing read. Physician assisted suicide is rare in the United States and is only permitted in a few states. In fact, it is a very controversial practice - as this story pointed out, there is often a conflict between the wishes of the patient and their loved ones.The Citizen Journalist-We often forget how much power the bureaucrats have over the media. The first step towards population control is to control the media. It gives you power over public perception.The corruption in these areas is worse than ever. This story is extremely relevant to the corruption and politics that currently exists within the United States. I'm with Kola on this, there should be only one way to report the news - the truth. The truth does not belong to any one country, race, or creed, it's just the truth. But it seems that very few people are interested in the truth anymore, which is disheartening. The Invalid Citizen-Another poignant and politically motivated story. In our greed, expansion, and desire for innovation we often overlook the consequences on the environment. It is easier to forget the extent of this when you live in an urban area that has been developed for centuries. The United States faced a similar controversy lately with the Keystone XL pipeline that ran through Native American property and could potentially contaminate their water source. But, of course, that isn't the only topic in this story - education is also an important point. It seemed like it was generous to give Fanny a scholarship and send him to school, but this ultimately becomes more of a hindrance than a help. It is one thing to facilitate sending someone abroad; it is another to sustain it - thus the prostitution and the drugs.
