Skipping Towards Gomorrah The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America 1st edition Writer This one is one of my April challenge books.

Hand guns are for more than just killing people. Cather This may have been written before America went into Iraq if that is the case, and he is just referring to Afganistan then I suppose I can understand where he's coming from.

Music The Cure: Ranking the Albums From 13 to 1 Just about every Cure album is worth picking up, and even those ranked lowest boast worthwhile moments. Definitely worth a read; it hasn't dated itself yet, but it will eventually. Sloth is avoiding work. Aussie indie rockers, Floodlights' debut From a View is a very cleanly, crisply-produced and mixed collection of shambolic, do-it-yourself indie guitar music. That's his beliefs and all and he's entitled to them, but I really am skeptical of anyone who finds this war at all justified at this point and am consequently bored of listening to what I consider, a load of horseshit.

And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Dan Savage says otherwise, mainly by pointing out what the conservative naysayers don't want to hear: human beings are complex, irreducible characters who are not very good at not doing what they're not supposed to do. Children are programmed to get up early— full of energy and ready to go. For instance, he wants to champion all the sins but he barely holds back biting judgement of the proud-to-be-fat people in the gluttony chapter. For Greed, he indulges in gambling, learning how to play blackjack and win - except when he loses. In this urgent work, Buttigieg confirms his status as a visionary political thinker. But he does not judge. Sloth is avoiding work. He just wants to find out the facts for himself, and let you know what he discovered. Winning big. Police can not always be relied on and excellent food is not bought in grocery stores. Not my favourite Savage, but still a must read.

Bork's thesis in the book is that U. Specifically, he attacks modern liberalism for what he describes as its dual emphases on radical egalitarianism and radical individualism. The title of the book is a play on the last couplet of W. Bork first traces the rapid expansion of modern liberalism that occurred during the s, arguing that this legacy of radicalism demonstrates that the precepts of modern liberalism are antithetical to the rest of the U. He then attacks a variety of social, cultural, and political experiences as evidence of U. Among these are affirmative action , increased violence in and sexualization of mass media , the legalization of abortion , pressure to legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia , feminism and the decline of religion. Bork, himself a rejected nominee of President Ronald Reagan to the United States Supreme Court , also criticizes that institution and argues that the judiciary and liberal judicial activism are catalysts for U. Except, of course, for the first lines of our nation's first document. That "pursuit of happiness" stuff? That's just poetry. Americans shouldn't be free "to choose which virtues to practice or not practice," Bork argues, as that would entail, "the privatization of morality, or, if you will, the 'pursuit of happiness,' as each of us defines happiness.
