This is about the most accurate description of
Leisureville. I was frankly so irked at the author for this very reason that I contacted him and we exchanged emails several times. In truth the man was out to sell books and I refused to buy, waiting instead for a copy that was circulating (and I told him so).
I questioned him why he focused on what he did and completely ignored such activities that serve our immediate community and the much larger national and world community, such as Relay for Life, Hospice, Operation Shoebox, Meals on Wheels, and on and on, but the bottom line is that he is absolutely stuck in his views.
And the truth is that the STD
percentage is no higher here than anywhere else, but the
number of cases is larger because of the size of the community.
Yes, take this book with
many grains of salt!
