I just bought a couple of new books last week. One is called 'For the Love of Animals: The Rise of the Animal Protection Movement' by Kathryn Shevelow and the other, which I haven't started reading yet, is called...wait for it....wait for it...'Don't Start the Revolution Without Me' by Jesse 'The Bod' Ventura. Have you read it? Is it any good? If you haven't read it, I'll let you know how it is. May start reading it today.

Here's a little excerpt:
Quote:
We're losing our constitutional rights because of the so-called "war on terror." It reminds of that line from the movie Full Metal Jacket:"Guess they'd rather be alive than free... poor dumb bastards!" Not me - once America is no longer what our country has stood for since 1776. We've gone backwards. When you look at how religious fanatics and corporate America are teaming up, we today are on the brinknof fascism.
Here's another:
Quote:
We've allowed our media to be turned into entertainment, rather than facts, enlightenment, and knowledge. We've gone from Woodward and Bernstein to Bill O'Reilly. From Walter Cronkite to Katie Couric.
And those are just the first 3 pages.

That does sound right up my alley.
