I am definitely adding it to my list. <br /><br />This brought tears to my eyes:<br />"...if we, the people of this great world, could come together in mutual respect and love, that maybe we could make violence a thing of the past." I certainly hope the human race can do it. And do it soon.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-38089644435408957732010-01-27T15:37:10.970-05:002010-01-27T15:37:10.970-05:00I would dearly love to hear this side of things.

So many people are so adamant about their beliefs and these same people hardly even know why they believe what they believe or know of anything different.<br /><br />I am glad that this book is opening people's eyes that the mainstream media is not the only place you should get your information. Like that song says, "When they own the information they can bend it all they want."<br /><br />Great review. I need to pick this book up. Although I fear it will really get me on my soapbox. Look what just a review on it has done!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-35187347203538624442010-01-26T12:01:41.906-05:002010-01-26T12:01:41.906-05:00Sounds fascinating!

I especially like your call for all of us to think for ourselves when it comes to the media and national issues. As I was reading your post I was shouting Yes! and Amen!
