Wow. Very thought provoking.

sorry I didn't say it's a long read...but since football season is awhile away...it's something to wake your mind up with until we numb it with beer

The guy sounds like a cross between Hunter S Thompson and George Carlin.

that's a great sample. I have to read the rest of this book.

I found that passage incredibly humbling, depressing, then filled with some hope...but the challenge is to find that hope....I love the way he wrote it too.

I read half of it, I'll have to finish it later. Pretty good so far.

After finishing this read, i see the author's point. However, i feel as though he categorized EVERY American as a brain-washed media slave, and that's simply not true.

CanadaKC · 06-06-2009, 04:59 PM

but he does point out some things we may have thought about ourselves...but never really put it in words like he has, IMO.
