I liked this book. I am surprised by how much I, an anti-government Libertarian, really appreciate the post office ever since taking a class on Stamp Collecting at Cub Scout camp. I miss having a PO Box when I was "forced" to go to the Post Office everyday to see the new stamps and what have you. returnreturnGallagher does a fairly decent job walking us through the history of the animal that is the Government/Business of the USPS. returnreturnHowever from her writing it is very clear that she is a Northern Progressive with little respect for southern conservative folks. I doubt she even realizes that it comes across that way. She focuses a lot more on the first 150 years than the last 100, but she claims because there wasn't much to draw on. returnreturnI'm glad that the US didn't try to get the Post to run the Internet as she claims would have been the natural progression. I couldn't imagine the cluster.returnreturnNothing to write-home about, pun intended, but interesting and worth the read regardless.

This one takes a "life story' of a minor character who appeared in one episode of the show. The story of Rugal is of a Cardasian boy whose was orphaned during the Occupation, raised by Bajorrns and on a trip with his adoptive dad to DS9 he was kidnapped and brought back to Cardassia wher his birth father was a politician. He fights with his own mortality, identity, tries to just fit in, tries to over though the state, starts a terrorist group and eventually joins the military, while trying to navigate his new country. I can't do this one justice with a simple review, if you love anything about Star Trek, pick this one up.

Hmmm. It is difficult to rate. As far as a scholarly work it seems to do well, as far as how I can apply it to my life as a conservative Catholic who has struggled with infidelity I don't know. I had hoped to spur good conversation with my wife based on its content but all it did was make her depressed that there was no hope for true love.

Like most of Smith's work it is dirivitative and not particularly rivinting. Probably enough to make me put down the North American Confederacy series for good.

She's not exactly a professional author. But she gave me hope that unschooling my child won't make her defective nor mean that I'm not handing on the faith to her.

I love the movie. The book however is slow paced and not riviting. My wife claims teh series is fantastic, but it was certainly not enough to make me want for more.

The first one was good, this one is not, I guess that's why a third never happend

I was hoping for a great master peice like Beck's "Overton Window" and was saddened by the sequel that fialed to spun the rest of the series that was the ghost written "Eye of Moloch" This didn't quite wet that whistle. returnreturnAgenda 21 by Glen Beck with Harriet Parke, is clearly a completely original work by Parke that Beck wrote an afterward for. How she found her way into his world, I still dont' understand, and that's probably a book worth writing. returnreturnThe story itself is a gripping tale about one of the last girls, Evaline, to have been raised by her parents withing the Republic previously known as the USA. The distopian future seems to be happening very soon in the future 2040 maybe? The explanation of how things got just so f'n bad in such a short amount of time was not well explained, probably because it wouldn't have held up. Set it 100-200 years in the future and we'd probably be OK. Evaline tries to learn about the "before times' but its not really legal to learn about it. She doesn't get to choose her mate, she doesn't get to have electricity, energy must be produced by here walking an energy board, and insted of Jetsonmobiles like the free market would give us, or the autobohn that state capitalism has given us, transport is done via a "Bus Box" which is basically a stage coach pulled by men like her father instead of horses, because animals are more important than people. returnreturnEven if this work is unbelievable the characters are good and worth reading for them alone. It is also worth reading for any liberal or leftists who actually wants to understand what their positions sound like to a conservative.

SMith's name sake shows up only briefly here. A time traveling ship from the future eventually introduces us to a third demension within the Broachs multiverse. One where freedom is not valued even as it was on our own time line. but the ridciouslness of Ancapitstan gets wonkier. A wolf gains consieness thorugh implants in this brain and has double fisted guns created for him that only work his paws, but the process is learned to be immoral for some reason that makes no sense. And this dog loves Whiskey, and wants sex, but he can't have sex with a wolf that has no consience, and the one they did try to make like him has a desire to go live wild in the woods. WTF?!? Some great one liners and Win Bear is back at least, but the freenies worshipinng him and then not really explaining how they came to belive, seems like little more than a mockiery of Christinanity. The next one will have to be well written to keep going.
