So you can rest easy, and profit spiritually, financially and mentally!" "Bah bah interj. Used to express impatient rejection or contempt. bah interj an expression of contempt or disgust Humbug!" roars the collective consciousness of the USA, as if fear has made everyone an Ebenezer Scrooge Ebenezer Scrooge is the main character in Charles Dickens' 1843 novel, A Christmas Carol. He is a very cold-hearted, selfish man, who has no love for Christmas, children, or anything that even provokes happiness. , while eBook industry sales increase worldwide. "What right have you to be merry? What reason have you to be merry? You're poor enough!" Issued just in time for Christmas, this eBook was written by Wayne Melton mel·ton n.

The publication's premiere today is on the 60th anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor Pearl Harbor, land-locked harbor, on the southern coast of Oahu island, Hawaii, W of Honolulu; one of the largest and best natural harbors in the E Pacific Ocean. In the vicinity are many U.S. military installations, including the chief U.S. . "Scrooge is everywhere we look these days," said Melton, a former society columnist and former entertainment columnist for a community newspaper. "Like Scrooge, many of us say, `What else can I be? When I live in such a world of fools as this?'" Some people laugh when they hear this serious but lively eBook's title, wondering whether it's possible to destroy fear of terrorism in as little as three days, Melton said. Guaranteeing results from "How to Kill Your Fear," Melton expects Scrooge-like psychologists will get angry when they hear about this publication because they insist fears never disappear. "They're right," Melton said. "Fear never goes away. I teach people how to kill fears of terrorism anyway. What's left are dead bodies of fear." Melton's work faces realities: each of us could die in a terrorists attack; graveyards across the USA are littered with people who were "fearless;" methods of mass destruction have increased in power and scope; and "cells" of terrorists reportedly are preparing to kill us all. With so many dismal developments, the notion of eliminating fear might seem ludicrous to some people. "As outlandish out·land·ish adj. 1. Conspicuously unconventional; bizarre. See Synonyms at strange. 2. Strikingly unfamiliar. 3. Located far from civilized areas. 4.
