  • Great book.  Really shows you why alot of the poorer states in the US go for the party of the rich and powerful (Republicans).  It also gives a decent explanation of how somebody like "W" could get elected president.

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.
