What other book might you compare James Madison to and why?
Liberty & Tyranny by Mark Levine
Which scene was your favorite?
Washing turning down the offer to be King and not accepting a third term as President. Washington walked away from power.

No.
Any additional comments?
It was sometimes tedious to listen to, but the history was more than I could have hoped for. Why in the world do they not teach this stuff in school.

Historia
Could history repeat itself, with one giant entity taking control of American information? Most consider the Internet Age to be a moment of unprecedented freedom in communications and culture. But as Tim Wu shows, each major new medium, from telephone to cable, arrived on a similar wave of idealistic optimism only to become, eventually, the object of industrial consolidation profoundly affecting how Americans communicate.

Opened my eyes
Revisado: 02-14-12
If you could sum up The Master Switch in three words, what would they be?
Abuse, abject stupidity.
What did you like best about this story?
Brilliant description of how technology and the human mind combine to bring human kind leaping into the future. A history of brilliance, blind stupidity and government control. The history line is brilliant and I am grateful for the book.
Which character – as performed by Marc Vietor – was your favorite?
Alexander Bell
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Phone call to my lover.
Any additional comments?
This is the kind of book that will change the minds and hearts of thinking freedom loving people. If we know who the enemy is, there is a chance to win.
Eastman Kodak declared bankruptcy last week and this week announced they will no long manufacturer digital cameras.
The story of hard work and success, blind ambition, blind stupid ambition, failure to see

Historia
Privately training with special forces, he’s honing his combat skills to continue his work within the Campus, hunting down and eliminating terrorists wherever he can--even as Jack Ryan Sr. campaigns to become President of the United States again. But what neither father nor son knows is that the political and personal have just become equally dangerous. A devout enemy of Jack Sr. launches a privately-funded vendetta to discredit him and connect him to a mysterious killing in his longtime ally John Clark’s past. All they have to do is catch him.

How do the establishment think about you.
Revisado: 02-14-12
What did you love best about Ameritopia?
What a history lesson about the people past and present who would tell me how to live my life.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Plato. He gave great thought, time and effort to explain just how stupid and retarded I am.
Any additional comments?
This book solidified my understanding of how the progressive would like to control my life verses what the Constitution allows the federal government to do. The contrast is stunning and makes me afraid for, not me, but my son, daughter-in-law and three young grandchildren. I am very afraid for them.
If you do not understand what the enemy wants to do to you, you cannot defend yourself against them. The result is tyranny or liberty.
