I was a recruiter...Your father had many reasons to be bitter toward the military, especially not allowing his daughter in...Though what they speak of here has nothing to do with recruitment, but the monsters they allow to roam freely in their ranks...You father did a good thing on that level...

I've read it and I have to ask what bothered you about the book? Just the selling out in general or the sexcapades? Knowing Steven Barnes views on black men not getting to have sex in movies, I expected that there would be even more sex in the book. --- In SciFiNoir_Lit@yahoogroups.com, "ravena

This has been going on for a long time, sad to say. I remember when I was in high school and I became enamored by the whole military propaganda and one of the recruiters visited my house with films, money for college and all that. My dad fought in the Korean war, so I though he would have bee

Sunday, July 06, 2008 More on "Hancock" Back to Hancock, both because a reader asked it, it came up at a 4th of July party, and because I've decided that I actually am angry at Will Smith. I think it is reasonable to hold people who have his wealth and power responsible for their actions. How
