Review title: Smart people don't need this book
Product review: The most shocking thing I came away with after reading this book is that it the author thought he was telling us something we don't know. The most shocking thing I came away with after reading the rest of these reviews is that people in this country aren't as smart as I would have hoped. This book is like an email that is funny at first...but after the 100th time you've received it its annoying. Retreads of factoids...I'm surprised he didn't devote a few chapters to "George Washington never chopped down a cherry tree." There are some passages that are simply the authors soapbox....throwing in facts and stats that are obviously part of an angenda, because they are not refuting anything specifically cited from a book. If I wrote a college paper like this, I would get a D at best... The more you like this book, the less thinking you've done for yourself.
