devastating brutal honesty about yet another war

Revisado: 01-26-19

This was a depressing story, but extremely well crafted. Mr Horton is without peer illuminating the idiocy, greed, brutality and pointlessness of war using the sad story of Afghanistan.

interesting but needs severe editing

Revisado: 10-11-18

This was an interesting but disturbing book. As well as detailing how the Patriot act was used against the author it documents how psychiatry and drugs are used as weapons in the US "justice system" and prison industry, which was equally disturbing, and surely more pervasive than deployment of the Patriot act.

The amount of redundancy in this book is astounding. It is in need of severe editing. The audiobook format makes that duplication somewhat more tolerable as one doesn't necessarily expect speech to be as refined as a well written book.

simple seeming idea: buy and sell sets of commodities when the are low and high with respect to each other and their means... but sell when you have made some profit

An exemplary history

Revisado: 11-14-17

This book presents the context for so much of the insanity of the current US war state, tracing the origins back to the founding of the CIA and the attempt of arms manufactures in the post world war II era to maintain and grow their industrial dominance.

This is a book that I will likely listen to a few times.

too theoretical

Revisado: 11-14-17

I found there was too much theory in this book, the description of why the dads/parents chose or were planning to choose to unschool. This included a number of stories of dads that were planning to unschool their kids when they were old enough, or when they had kids.

The latter part of the book contained descriptions of the actual experiences of some unschooling dads. I found that much more informative.

A subtle and well done narrative

Revisado: 11-14-17

Having listened to this book, I am left with a number of questions. There's an interesting and amusing mix of facts and mythology in this book, and it will take some work to read more fully to figure out which parts of the story are real. I don't know if the text version of this book has footnotes that would help decouple some of these.

Justifications for the brutal actions of the regime are scattered throughout the book in subtle ways. This is not a great audio book for casual listening (nor for accelerated playback rates), as it is too easy to miss these little gems.

Take care with drinking fluids near electronics while listening to this audiobook, since many of the random horrifying comedic lines may cause laughter induced spray.
