Bombs destroy a city; an equality bomb destroys a people. The Equality Bomb, like rent control, is manufactured by well-intentioned rulers who don't understand what they are doing. They, just as advocates of rent control, see disparities among groups in the population, are pained by them, and seek to do good by eradicating them. "I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University." - William Buckley The Equality Bomb is a hard-hitting look at the train wreck that is the American School system. It is a train wreck based on the idea that all people are equal in terms of their ability and that education can be bought. The whole country is obsessed with the idea of equality, and while the black-white ability gap undeniably exists, the reason for this gap is not what you may have been told. The Equality Bomb explores <ul> <li>The most important court cases</li> <li>The 21 schools most affected</li> <li>Guidance on what can be done to reverse the damage</li> <li>Evidence that No Child Left Behind is unachievable</li> </ul>

When private financial investigator Seamus McCree returns to Cincinnati after a routine business trip, he discovers that his home has become a crime scene for a brutal murder. The victim in his basement is an acquaintance from a previous corporate investigation--and endured bullets to both of his ankles, knees and elbows before the final shot to his forehead put him out of his misery. No one has seen an "IRA six pack" victim since The Troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. Now the primary "person of interest" in the murder, Seamus must use his talent for logic and hard work to prove his innocence. Soon he uncovers a trail that leads back to his Boston roots--and a poisonous family feud dating from the divorce of Boston's Irish mafia and the Provisional IRA in the 1970s. Driven by the chilling realization that there was more behind the death of his policeman father than he ever knew, Seamus ignores warnings from the police, friends, and enemies as he continues to dig for the truth. As the body count climbs, all trails seem to lead back to him, and Seamus is forced to go underground to find out who is framing him--and why--before he becomes the next victim.
