The power of good journalism
Jeff Sharlet’s The Family is a book about scary people and scary events, but one that every American should read.
For those who do not lead a life of questioning on their own, or who take the world at face value, there is the impression of innocence from these influence peddlers who claim to be standing mano a mano with god and god’s way, the American way, but this god of power is not a god of love, and it seems to me that we need more proselytizers of love these days.
So for those who fear the unfamiliar, I advocate learning to live with an open heart and mind, because only in a space this large will you find god. God is not a roach that squeezes into narrow cracks or hides in the dark like The Family is doing, the god you seek is much larger, I can assure you.
