Just ordered the Bolton book on Amazon.

35. Fine. You will do as you think best.

I'm a person who wants first-hand knowledge where it's possible. I want to know what is in Bolton's book, so I will read it. I don't mind if he stops in at Starbucks and buys a coffee drink with the money he gets from my reduced-price book of his from Amazon.

You trust others to filter your information. I do not. I want to see the information for myself. So, I will wade through 500 pages of mostly boring reading to find that information. The media will focus on a few quotations from the book and discuss those endlessly. there is much more in there, no doubt, that doesn't lend itself to sound-bite-length quotes and excerpts.

I might post a few things here, but not many. I've already been insulted for simply buying the book. I don't really need more insults, frankly. But, i will learn from my slog through the book, just as I have learned from reading many other books by people with whom I strongly disagree.

You do you, but please allow me to do me without insult. Thanks.
