Agenda 21 book review
Posted by ObjectiveAnalyst 11 years, 8 months ago to Books
Agenda 21- Glenn Beck, Harriet Parke
Fiction 277pgs. ISBN 978-1-4767-1669-5
Agenda 21 is an enjoyable read. It is a story about a dystopian future world where big brother is all controlling, much along the lines of “Anthem” Rand, “1984” Orwell, and “Fahrenheit 451” Bradbury. There are common themes and clear parallels among the stories. It is a clarion call to avoid such a future by pointing out the endgame of the collectivist, tree hugging, statist’s. It is a bleak world, but ultimately incapable of sustaining itself indefinitely or crushing completely the individual human spirit! Thus like all socialist utopian schemes it resorts to tyranny and equal suffering in order to exist and forestall the inevitable failure. For the story’s protagonist there is a chance of escape. But you will have to read the book to find out how it ends. :)
I ripped through the pages in a few evenings. The time was well spent.
Respectfully,
O.A.

Here let me share a little something with you, to set the mood, while I'm still here ( I have to go pretty soon). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmm5BWjPB...
Don't tell LS I have to watch the Spartacus finale tonight... :)
Good night all!

There was much sacrifice so that others could live. Only one of the original cast survived! I don't want to spoil it for you, but I have some quotes written down at home I may pass along later. :)
"Better to fall by the sword than the master's lash."
Spartacus
Love the quote..... keep 'em coming. :) (Insert Gannicus laugh here.)
These ones don't bite...
kinda hard to watch you parents get to play with the BEST TOY EVER and you're not allowed to
I picked up a bunch of other books instead.
Good to hear from you. I concur.
How are you?
Business wise, around here people are scrambling. I see businessmen trying to do even more with less because they fear the new taxes and reg's. People are really stressed already. Such is manufacturing... around here anyway.
