I'm just starting to read "A Very Stable Genius" by Rucker and Leonning...
and before I've enen started I am tearing up because I read the quotes on the dust jacket. The last one on the page seemed so heartfelt and poinient, it just got to me.
Here's an excerpt:
"The disdain he show for our country's foundation and its principles. The disregard he has for right and wrong. Your first clenches. Your teeth grate. ...I swore to the constitution. I didn't swear an oath to this jackass."
I was reading it aloud to my daughter and almost couldn't get through it... it triggered something in me and I choked up. I think I must the identify strongly with the raw frustration and injustice expressed.
