From what I’ve read, my favorite parts about the book are the complex metaphors, the deep symbolism, and it’s commentary on many of the social ills we face as a society.
Well, we have to end apartheid, for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. Ensure a strong national defense, prevent the spread of communism in Central America, work for a Middle East peace settlement, prevent U.S. military involvement overseas. We have to ensure that America is a respected world power. Now that’s not to belittle our domestic problems, which are equally important, if not more. Better and more affordable long-term care for the elderly, control and find a cure for the AIDS epidemic, clean up environmental damage from toxic waste and pollution, improve the quality of primary and secondary education, strengthen the laws to crack down on crime and illegal drugs. We also have to ensure that college education is affordable for the middle class and protect Social Security for senior citizens plus conserve natural resources and wilderness areas and reduce the influence of political action committees.
But economically we’re still a mess. We have to find a way to hold down the inflation rate and reduce the deficit. We also need to provide training and jobs from unfair foreign imports. We have to make America the leader in new technology. At the same time we need to promote economic growth and business expansion and hold the line against federal income taxes and hold down interest rates while promoting opportunities for small business and controlling mergers and big corporate takeovers.
But we can’t ignore our social needs either. We have to stop people from abusing the welfare system. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights while also promoting equal rights for women but change the abortion laws to protect the right to life yet still somehow maintain women’s freedom of choice.. We also have to control the influx of illegal immigrants. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values and curb graphic sex and violence on TV, in movies, in popular music, everywhere. Most importantly we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.
ehhh I got some Amazon gift cards for christmas. I’ll buy it, but I doubt I’ll like it. After twilight: new moon, everything else just doesn’t stack up. But yeah I’ll buy it. If its under 20 bucks. Otherwise, I’m just gonna buy some random shit I dont need. And yes, I realize that’s redundant.
You guys have a book?!
If only you had some permanent banners on your website to remind me!

13 years ago at 6:01 pmIf only there was some way I could sample the first chapter of this book so I could decide whether I want to buy it or not.
13 years ago at 2:13 pm^ If only there were other chapters available to help you out even more.

13 years ago at 3:23 pmI’m probably going to read it. I mean I have already read three chapters and I must know what else is in store for Townes.
