The author, obviously a man unafraid of criticism for his outspoken opinions that depart from the politically correct American society of today, speaks unabashedly about both very serious issues of the day as well as everyday annoyances that no doubt plague many people. Each brief chapter reflects the opinions of the author and often does so in ways that most people would be very reticent themselves to “say out loud”. The issues discussed range from political correctness and diversity to frustration at drivers who insist on going slowly in the passing lane. This breath of fresh air is very enjoyable regardless of the extent to which the reader agrees with the author on any given issue, is very easy to read, and will give to many readers validation for their own personal unspoken thoughts and beliefs.
Regardless of one’s degree of sophistication, this book offers thoughts that are, at the same time, insightful to amusing. Written in a style which is conversational and very enjoyable, this book is a must read for everyone who questions anything about our values and our society, be they 15 or 95.
What Is This Country Coming To? Things Most Sane People Will Not Say Out Loud edition by Ron Kolins Politics Social Sciences eBooks
When Ron Kolins represented a client in a legal matter, he was impeccably attired, articulate in his remarks and supremely courteous when answering questions or refuting a challenge.In short, he was professional, polite and comported himself as a gentleman.
That was then.
Now, this semi-retired lawyer has written a book which decries the over-arching absence of such qualities on most street corners and venues -- and how that void helps to suck the "good" from the good life of American society.
A few months ago, he self-published "What Is This Country Coming To?" -- "Things Most Sane People Will Not Say Out Loud." His eBook is available from the usual suspects.
Kolins aims both barrels at political correctness in the extreme, for robbing society of rational discourse on matters that, well, matter: race, gender and politics, to name three.
He uses humor, often sardonic, to make his point, while emphasizing that readers are free to disagree or discount his observations as hogwash. His dime (to publish), his right to rant (on the reader's dime).
In the chapter, "Seattle has gone crazy!" Kolins notes that city's ban against the word "citizen," as it might offend a person who isn't one; and the ban against carrying a "brown bag" lunch, on the grounds it masks a racial slur.
"You can no longer question evolution," the title of another chapter, rails against people, mostly men, who expose their bare backsides, call it fashion -- and dare you to object to the view. No higher being, certainly no compassionate God, would dream up the "devolution" of mankind's natural "waist." Therefore, we have "evolved."
The "we are pregnant" phrase is another pet peeve for Kolins. The truth is, we "ain't." The man has fathered a child, and the woman is pregnant.
He likely will irk women who drive an SUV, as he calls that combination -- with a cell phone in the mix -- "the most dangerous thing in the world." Never mind the number of tall women who can easily navigate an SUV -- Kolins fails to indict the many men who are just as dangerous when they don't watch the road.
Ever since the 1960s, a lack of respect for authority has become increasingly pervasive, he bemoans. When you add the tsunami of immigrants with no intention of assimilating into American society, Kolins is inclined to "fear the worst."
America is drowning in antisocial behavior and attitudes, pushing the country into an abyss of angry, violent, insecure, thoughtless and self-absorbed individuals, Kolins says.
Enter the arena of presidential politics, and Kolins observes that campaigns are more of an exercise in being careful in "what you do not say, rather than saying what the voter ought to know." Because fringe populations -- far left and far right -- dominate voter turnouts, most candidates pander to certain blocs.
Kolins also reflects on his 43-year career as a lawyer, and his naive goal of "doing good." Quoting sources from William Shakespeare to Oliver Wendell Holmes -- he concludes that law is a business -- subject, like other businesses, to local conditions and cultures. The legal system does play favorites, starting with the client who can pay.
"...we are subject to more laws than raindrops and many are incomprehensible," which of course results in more lawbreakers, Kolins says.

What Is This Country Coming To? Things Most Sane People Will Not Say Out Loud edition by Ron Kolins Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
WELL WRITTEN,INFORMATIVE, AND ENTERTAINING I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT IT DOWN.BRAVO!!!
I enjoyed reading this book; it delivered on its author's promise to entertain you while he told you what was on his mind. It's not politically correct, it's not subtle. You'll laugh and you may even get angry, but you won't be bored. It's a provocative and an interesting book.
Perfect book to read
First of all, full disclosure. I am a friend of Ron's; have been for 35+ years. But I paid full price for this book; I had no idea he had written it or published it until he sent me the link to purchase it. I was very entertained, and it spurred a thought or two I hadn't previously had. I certainly don't agree with him on everything - and I do wish he were a bit less misogynous - but overall, he makes some very good points with good humor. I especially enjoyed the chapter on rebates.
