I suspect that many reviewers, perhaps Boot in this case, just skim the books they are reviewing rather than giving them a good, honest read. That would be especially true if they felt an axe to grind before starting.

And even if you read every word, you have to sit and think on it to separate the bits that resonate from the fluff and the BS, if you're going to write a thoughtful, balanced review. (Not saying Woods fills his pages in part with fluff and BS, haven't read his books yet, just talking about the degree of commitment it takes to write a book review of any value. Having seen him speak on YouTube, I very much doubt there's much fluff or BS to be found in Woods' books.)

To: Still Thinking; Non-Sequitur

Wow! No wonder I had to reread the article to see what we were talking about. My comment, and the thread, were posted in March of 2005.

What we must keep in mind is that the Left’s control of our education system and media has allowed them to teach lies for years. It is to be expected that they will try to defend the lies and discredit the truth.

Certain Freepers have been influenced by this slanted education. Regardless of the plainly written language in the Declaration of Independence, the Federalists Papers and the Constitution, and by the states who ratified it, some still claim that Article II, section 8, (?) of the Constitution eliminated the ratifying states’ right to secede.

I am pinging Non_Sequiter because he is one of them.
