The Giver by Lois Lowry

Last summer I read a very thought provoking book titled The Giver I had to buy the book for my son to read in school.  He told me it was a very interesting book and that I should read it also.

The book is about a young man that lives in a utopian society where “they” have tried to plan for everything.  Each family is given two children, one boy and one girl.  Everyone is assigned their jobs and their spouse.  The world is only seen in shades of gray. The people have very little emotions at all and at puberity are given a pill to prevent what the book calls “stirrings” which they will take for the rest of their lives.  The whole idea of the society in the book is to achieve “sameness”.

There is so much more I would love to tell you but I don’t want to be a spoiler.  I wish I had the words to explain how incredible this book was and how much it had me thinking about the world we live in.  How wonderful it is to be unique and have your own feelings whether they are good or bad.

If you do read the book or have read it please leave a comment and let me know what you think of it.

Sarah Standing Up for Those Who Stand Up for Us

Via Sarah Palin’s Facebook page:

First the Obama Administration opened up the possibility of prosecuting CIA interrogators doing their jobs seeking information from terrorists. Then they tried to go after the Bush Administration lawyers who acted in good faith to protect us in the months after 9/11. Now some of the military brass are court-martialing three brave Navy SEALs for allegedly throwing a single punch at Iraqi terrorist leader Ahmed Hashim Abed. This is wrong. The Washington Times got it right: Save the SEALs.

These brave warriors belong in combat, not in the courthouse. They captured the most wanted terrorist in Iraq. We may never know how many other heroic missions they undertook on behalf of our country. The charges should be dropped, and they should be returned to their unit – with our gratitude for their service.

Stand up for the SEALs who are standing up for us!

Sarah Palin’s New Book

n628817033_1509031_9792HarperCollins announced that Sarah Palin is working on a new book and after selling over 2 million copies of Going Rogue; can you blame them for teaming with her to do another book?

While the book doesn’t yet have a title the subject according to the publisher will be “celebration of American virtues and strengths.” They added that “She will also draw from her personal experience to amplify these timely — and timeless_ themes.”

I know the haters heads are spinning once again. Some on the comments section of Yahoo buzz asked if she was ‘writing it in crayon’ and are calling her ‘retarded’.   Too bad those fools don’t have a book out that is making millions; so who’s really stupid?

Go Sarah!
