I think you'll enjoy it and I'm looking forward to your review. Chris forgive me for going off topic. In thinking about Gary or Detroit I always held the opinion that if those communities wanted to improve they would. Kind of isolated simple thinking I know. Now that I've been exposed to more my opinion has changed, Those kids growing up in horrible neighborhoods with horrible schools. The schools are actually supported and protected by massive bureaucracies that pay for more protection with loyal democratic votes and contributions. Hi Dan,

I went to Amazon.com, and I was excited to find that I could purchase this book for only one penny (and in fairly good condition!) + $3.99 for shipping and handling. So for a combined total of $4.00, I gladly purchased the book and it should arrive within 3-14 business days! I just added it to my goodreads widget and will post my review there after I have read it. I will also likely blog on it at my other site, http://www.tyrannywatch.com sometime. Once again, I am reading a couple of books right now, so I will get to it as soon as I can. Luckily, I am a fast reader so within a couple of months I should be getting started -- and sometimes I rotate to get fresh material so maybe even sooner! Thanks for the recommendation, and thanks all for tolerating my ignorance and youth at times ;) Hey Aaron, I am in the middle of a couple of books right now, but am always open to suggestions for reading.

People also forget, but Bill Clinton is the one who set up the government's policy for regime change in Iraq, i.e. removal of Saddam Hussein as America's policy goal. Hi Dan,
