Why do you think radical wouldn’t be the way to go? What book would you recommend as an introduction to carry around and show to people?
I was thinking earlier about Chodorov’s The Rise and Fall of Society, but it’s fifteen dollars and isn’t that much of a quick read (maybe it is, but not in the style of where you can hand it to people and they can read it in five minutes, which is what I’m looking for).

Gérard Depardieu, the famous French actor, will be French no more, so exasperated is he with French taxes and the French government, he declared in an angry open letter to France’s prime minister on Sunday.
Empereror Obama interrupted television earlier today for some kind of wise words on gun control, or some such garbage. It looked like reporters were asking questions, to see what our sage would say. I flipped through and all three major networks had interrupted their shows for it. It’s scary to see these messages to the herds and know that most people will lap it up and be hostile towards any differing opinion. I hear that a local business owner was getting death threats for a dissenting comment on Facebook the day of the recent schooting. Talk about irony.
Alert! Citizens, this is Supreme Chairman Obama. It’s time for our mental sessions for the day! Yay! Everybody clap your hands! Now repeat after me folks - GUNS CAUSE THE VIOLENCE. GUNS CAUSE THE VIOLENCE. GUNS CAUSE THE VIOLENCE.
Haha, that’s the exact image that entered my mind when I read Blargg’s post. This is why I’m so glad to be free of the mainstream media in my home. Gonna have to deal with it next week when I go to my family house though.
My elderly roommate watches TV every waking hour, while I haven’t watched it for a decade, and become angry just hearing it. I’ve avoided hearing even a complete sentence out of the media’s mouth on the recent shooting, thankfully.
Lawmakers charged with merging the House and Senate versions of the National Defense Authorization Act decided on Tuesday to drop a provision that would have explicitly barred the military from holding American citizens and permanent residents in indefinite detention without trial as terrorism suspects, according to Congressional staff members familiar with the negotiations.
