Worth another look in the days after the 2010 election,
By William R. Schreiber (South Portland, ME United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Triumph of Meanness: America's War Against Its Better Self (Hardcover)
There are 25 pages of notes supporting the author's arguments. The criticism of the previous review simply proves Nicolouas Mills premises that we are in a state of unfounded meanness where facts and well constructed arguments are dismissed out of hand. The loudest, the meanest, the one with the most money prevail. Someone said, "a confused mind always says no." What better way to get people to vote against their best interest's by bulling, fear-mongering and good dose of prescribed economic volatility. This book is worth your time at full or discounted price.
