Eye opening. An easy read yet makes you think hard about life and the way we view it through the lens of politics. Black's optimism of bringing politics to the dinner table is nail biting idea; her unbiased opinion leaves us with a difficult task to instate such an idea. If you no nothing of American politics, this book is for you.
Beyond Left and Right is thought provoking and informative. It gives a good overview of our political system. Politics is compromise.
So far so good...
