The institution of marriage was developed at the dawn of
civilization for a much simpler culture than the modern world. This institution
held together in an earlier age because society accepted the principle that
women BELONGED to men. Women were viewed as "possessions".
Ironically, women went along with this because, if women played by these rules,
society "protected" their marriage.
Divorce, for example, was NOT, and still is not, allowed in the Catholic
Church. Divorce was NOT granted in U.S. courts except for FAULT which mostly
meant adultery. But women paid a big price for this. They couldn't vote. They
had to obey their husbands about almost everything. They had little say in a
career because they either "had" to stay home and take care of the
kids, or got moved at the whim of their husband's situation. Sexual activity
was very tightly controlled for women while men were allowed a "double
standard". Birth control was forbidden. Their role was not unlike the role
of a slave. Why did society evolve this way?
Male patriarchy, for the entire span of human culture, has been afraid of the
reproductive power of woman. The scary part for men was that women could manage
reproduction almost totally without them. This is the story of the Amazons.
They killed most of their male babies. All they needed was just a few males to
mate with all the women. Amazon society was essentially opposite to the male
dominated herd structures of animals.
Like animal structures, male competition for females, which usually involved
violence, was a big problem for early society. So monogamy was developed as a
social constraint. It’s basic rule was: every man was entitled to at least one
woman. To make that work, a way had to be found so that every woman would WANT
and stay faithful (at least on the surface) to that one man. The social
structure we call marriage achieved this. The marriage ceremony gave each man a
woman. The dominance of male social power gave men value that women would want.
Ironically, this reversed the "courting" behavior of humans vs.
animals, in that human females became the competitors, rather than males. But
satisfying the dominant mating drive of males was retained through the double
standard.
So? What now? Society is in a tough bind. With the recognition of women's
rights, and the development of birth control, which allows women to enter the
workforce, the old structure is falling apart. But society refuses to
acknowledged this, and hasn't "established" alternatives which
address the problems that are emerging. Two new novels: LIARS! Vol. 1 - Scout
to the Pole, and LIARS! Vol. 2 - Escape to Insanity, discuss desperately needed
solutions based on over 30 discoveries in psychology, philosophy and social
principles.
Ultimately, the reader will learn how public statements claiming to represent
broad "public opinion", are predominantly the voice of a small elite
minority intent on maintaining superiority. Mankind's greatest social
institutions: government, religion, science, education, law, medicine, and even
the U.S. Constitution, are challenged and shown to be corrupt. A unified
structure emerges which becomes the basis for a new social structure for
mankind.

About Bruce Nappi:
Explorer, philosopher and Jacksonville, Florida author, Bruce Nappi, has just
released two volumes of his new book series LIARS! The books present over 40
major discoveries that answer many of the most critical unanswered questions of
the ages, including why we have so much chaos and strife in modern society.
Difficult psychological and philosophical discoveries are explained using
everyday language in a readable, exciting novel format. The discoveries affect
every part of our culture, making the books interesting and valuable reading
for everyone who seeks understanding and improvement for today's society.
The books -- LIARS! Vol. 1: Scout to the Pole; and Vol. 2: Escape to Insanity
-- are based on Nappi's experience as one of the Eagle Scouts on the 1965 North
Pole Expedition. They present an "Atlas Shrugged" philosophical romp
through a 3 Stooges run government research world, challenging the most
fundamental beliefs of human culture. The coming of age saga is filled with
amazing true-life adventures expanded by the insights of 40 years in the rough
and tumble world of high tech business intrigue. A life threatening climax in
volume 2 finally creates a setting to pull together all the wisdom and lay out
a broad and comprehensive explanation for many of the problems modern society
can't seem to understand.
