Well, I missed doing this for the past couple of weeks and decided to write about this book of the week pick. One of Vonneguts best even if off kilter a bit. This book contains his own experience involved in the bombing of Dresden.

Book of the week...
Well, I missed doing this for the past couple of weeks and decided to write about this book of the week pick. One of Vonneguts best even if off kilter a bit. This book contains his own experience involved in the bombing of Dresden.
Occupy Wall Street...

I'm not one for politics but this provides an interesting insight into the OWS movement and possibly a story line. I believe in freedom of speech and rights as stated in our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. What we have here is an obvious infringement on both to gather and protest peacefully. I don't know what living conditions are like, one can imagine, but if it's such a concern than the city should place police protection and sanitation needs in the area. This is an example of the future of a police state which reminds me of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and Philip Jose Farmers Day World Breakup. Are we headed for the same direction? Obviously our political leaders are not listening and choose to use force to instill their agenda and continue to receive corporate campaign contributions.
