Longing for a Theocracy might not be a good idea. I don't want government telling me what to believe.wolfbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10898665127291826612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-80398786612229847092014-01-31T16:50:51.662-05:002014-01-31T16:50:51.662-05:00Everett,

His 'A reverence for wood" is just fantastic. The seasons of America Past is another great one as it made me recall how my father and Granddad still did things by the phases of the moon. SInce reading the book I have begun to pay attention to the phases as I did when I was a kid.It is really sad what we have lost and will never recover unless things go totally over the edge and we are forced by circumstance to go back to our roots. I, and two of my boys would be totally okay with that and would in all probability thrive in that atmosphere! Great series!!Everett Island Voicenoreply@blogger.com
