This stage play is about the struggle of the main character, Ricard, who has recently been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol. The play chronicles his personal struggle to deal with how he became an alcoholic and how to repair his life. It focuses on his values, how to identify their role in his life, and how he can shed alcohol as a value. As he begins to understand what is important in his life, he begins the trek from his distorted value structure to what is important in life.

We live in a city on a river. Our city is called New America, and our river is the river Styx. We don't know how the river got this name, but it is a very wide body of water and, they say, on the other side of the river are some very bad people. We have been at war with them all our lives and almost all the news we receive is about the war and how our Supreme Leader is winning it. We give the bodies of our young to fight this war and some never return. They are lost in the greyness on the other side of the river. We never think about losing them because they don't know their parents, and their parents don't know them. Our country is also called New America. It is a wide stretch of land on the coast of what some people call Old America. So, we live in New America, New America. Sometimes we call it NewA for fun. Our city has tall spires for buildings, but most of them are empty and in ruins since the time the Supreme Leader came to save us and restore order. Some time, long ago, the old leaders decided to make these buildings out of the same-colored rocks, grey and drab. We don't know why they chose that color, but it makes the city look old and decrepit from a distance.

Most of us have heard the cliché "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss". The same can be said about Peter Singer's effective altruism: "Meet effective altruism, same as the old altruism". Indeed, the problem with the new altruism is that it is altruism, nonetheless. This is because the fundamentals of effective altruism are the same as the fundamentals of primordial human sacrifice that began with the decimation of a scapegoat. Today's altruists, as if seeming to realize that the old altruism has never been effective, are now offering what they deem to be an "effective" version of the old altruism that is different, new, and workable, so they say. The old altruism is dead; they think. Now it is time for something devastatingly new.

These beautiful poetic expressions represent some of Mr. Villegas' youngest thoughts while he lived and traveled to many locations around the world. They range from the romantic to the enlightened.

The goal of my writing is to warn people about the dangers of bad ideology. I have, for many years, known that the consequences of creeping altruism, on both left and right, were poverty and moral decline. I learned this from Ayn Rand and Leonard Peikoff (whose ideas have yet to be refuted), and I also learned about countervailing ideas of modern philosophers, religious leaders, and their philosophical offshoots. These thinkers have persistently sought the destruction of values and rational living and they don't care that their ideas contradict reason.

This book is written for the athlete, team or concert promoter seeking sponsorship relationships in the sport and entertainment fields. The techniques presented here will help any company, sport team, entertainment company, marketing agency and charitable organization that uses corporate sponsorships to support its activities. Build your marketing team around this book and you'll experience success.

This book could be viewed as a companion work to my earlier book, "What Harvard and Princeton Don't Want You to Know" which is an examination into the flawed premises of philosophers such as David Hume and Immanuel Kant who are most influential on the ideas of modern society including John Dewey and the pragmatists who run society. My goal for both works is to examine the proposition that our society is falling into an abyss of ignorance, man-made divisions, and social conflicts because (primarily) of Hume and Kant. This descent is sending us into a cruel form of nihilism that will destroy our society. One of the premises of the philosophers we will examine is the fallacy that there are discreet boundaries of skin color that represent what we call racial divisions in society today. This discreet boundary is the division of black skin color over white skin color. According to this division, white people have historically discriminated against black people through hatred and cruelty. Despite the fact that black versus white boundaries are unscientific, they have been with us since the growth of modern racial theory. In fact, because of these divisions, our society is becoming more racist every day. This trend is being caused by a deliberate strategy that will not only destroy man's ability to reason but also turn people against themselves.

This booklet enables sport teams and concert promoters to submit their sponsorship proposals to companies that accept only online submission of proposals. It provides links to those sites that, in the kindle version, can be clicked from within the kindle book. For softcover buyers, a link is provided to a page that provides the links.
