Dang! Haven't made it through the first chapter and I'm  feeling creepy!
Thanks for the heads-up on the new read, dude. I'll bet it's on the list for
2000+.

I really like the links to teacher material in the preview/philosophy
prelude. This is looking like it should be on the shelf next to 1984 which
is still covered but not so much as during cold-war days - people don't like
seeing the flipflop nature of global politics).
