Rocco Leonard Martino, Ph.D., local author and entrepreneur will speak about his latest publication, “Cancel Christmas!” on Thursday, December 3, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. in the Social Room, Fournier Hall. The lecture is sponsored by the College’s Business Department. “Cancel Christmas!” (Infinity Publishing, 2009) looks at the intrusion of government on the lives of people, using the example of government canceling the Christmas holiday due to the influence of a powerful, greedy businessman’s whim. “Cancel Christmas!” is about character, and the conflicting emotions and forces that permeate human life - greed, fear, love, tradition, duty, and conscience. Following the lecture, Dr. Martino will offer a Q&A session and will sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase. “I wrote this book to be an important message for people who cherish freedom and tradition,” says Martino. “I chose storytelling with humorous interludes to present a gripping possibility. “Cancel Christmas!” will make the reader laugh and also angry. The idea presented in the book could happen. Greed, ambition, and the misuse of taxpayer money are nothing new. This book depicts the classic struggle between might and right; and between raw power and thoughtful evaluation.”
