The graphics in this book are not all originally done by me. Some of them are from bits and pieces of graphics I have seen on the Internet, but I have tried to be very meticulous in not using anything with a copy write ((c)), registered ((R)), or trademark ((TM)) attached to it.I have taken those items I have seen that are not under any legal ownership and used open-end software to put them together to make the final products. While some of the graphics may look like the original, we have taken lengthy measures to ensure they are third-party 'copies' of the originals and not under any legal ownership..This book is offered to you for two purposes: First of all, to lighten your mood so that you might have a better day, and second, to intentionally stir up thoughts about current topics to help us consider other viewpoints, as well as our own.
