- Alicia VanNoy Call "callthewriter" - Post-apocalyptic goldHaving been born in the 70's, I developed a liking for post-apocalyptic fiction in my youth. This book takes me right back to all the things I loved about those classic P-A books. There are several mainstays of the genre here, but Howey puts his inventiveness on display and gives us some new twists to enjoy. Very entertaining and nicely edited. I will read the sequels and recommend the series to others.
- John B. Jenkins "John B. Jenkins" - If you want to understand modern American policing, you must read this bookBooks about aspects of United States history often must first dip their toes into the waters of English history just to give context to the later U.S. developments and Radley Balko's "Rise of the Warrior Cop" is no exception. Beginning by explaining to the reader the Castle Doctrine that is the ultimate source of much of the Bill of Rights, Balko proceeds to show how the federal governmnet, through grant programs and the perverse expansion of the war on drugs (which is of course a war on users and sellers of drugs, since to date the drugs have refused to offer battle) has put at risk the lives of innocent bystanders and police through escalating violence in the service of that war.
While the federal government lavishes money and military hardware on towns of every size across the United States as a result of the outsized fear of terrorism the government and media conspire to keep fanned as hot as possible, those same small municipalities, lacking actual terrorist threats against which to use their new military equipment, repurpose it for the enforcement of the country's draconian drug laws. Then, through the legal mechanism of asset forfieture, the same municipalities make crime pay (for them) by seizing the assets of the guilty, the vaguely implicated and the completely innocent in equal measure, in many cases denying defendants access to the funds required to mount a defense and giving local government a profit motive to acquire and use more and more military equipment.
As a consequencence of these programs and incentives, policing has transformed from the Mayberryesque ideals of serving and protecting the community, to the rhetoric of "us versus them" with police having been inculcated to believe that every non-police person is an enemy or a threat, which leads to the absurities of people with down syndrome, who are at best threats to themselves, and then only accidentally, who are killed by police without malice, just because that is the inculcated response when someone does not properly submit to police authority. If you want to truly understand how we got from Mayberry (and, bellieve it or not, police really did behave like that at one time, not toward everyone, but it did happen!) to a pseudo-Beiruit, you owe it to yourself to read this book becaue Balko shows you step by step how we got from there to here without it being anyone's intentional design to do so (and with many of the architects today regretting what they had done).
One final caveat: this book is not anti-police. There are many wonderful police who still believe in and behave according to an ethos of serve and protect, and without police it goes without saying that society would be terribly worse off, but the book does clearly and eloquently critizize the policies from the federal government on down that give incentives for some officers and departments to behave in very dangerous ways.
[I should note by way of potential conflict, when I was laid up from cancer surgery, Radley Balko was kind enough to provide me with a PDF of the book that I could read before it was published. I still purchased a copy, so the only result of the PDF was for me to be able to read the book early and to evidence what a kind and gracious person Radley really is.] - Crazy Momma - Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SP 15 Foundation FairI absolutely love Bare Minerals make-up! I love the fact that you don't have to wash it off (even though I do because I like a clean face to go to bed in at night) but knowing that it won't damage my skin or plug my pores if I don't. And I love the fact that you aren't putting harsh chemicals on your skin. With our skin being an organ of our body, I feel it's important to take good care of it and I definitely feel great and confident about using their products!
