The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy,
but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.

Sappho: I've noticed that you've put a LibraryThing up on your site too, and I've seen a ton of books I'd love to read in your collection! I haven't heard of the "book by Davis & Chacon that you mention, but I'll look for it...it definately sounds like something I'd enjoy.
We should certainly compare notes and I'm so glad you suggested it! Thanks to a grad school essay I've been working on, I've been reading a lot on poverty lately. One good one is by Holly Sklar, called Raise the Floor: Wages and Policies that Work For All of Us.
My SO and I are getting ready to go on vacation for a couple of weeks to visit my elderly grandparents and I'm taking along Bait and Switch. Have you read it?
:) If we lived closer, we could start a collective!
I will try and do some postings while away...The grandparents have internet and I doubt I'll be able to stay away from the computer for too long. Also, I'll need to get my indep. media fix somehow.
Thanks for the kind wishes. This trip is MUCH needed. I hope I'm not too tired to enjoy it.

Witheringly funny. And wit is so much better a weapon than anger.
Daniel: Thanks for the repeat visit and comments.

We need a bookclub, y'all. Maybe like a mailing list?
I think a bookclub sounds fabulous!
