Stupid White Men - A Book Review
This book review offers material--political and cultural satire--different from what usually appears in this topic. However, politics has always been a fellow traveler with the great spiritual masters--from Jesus of Nazareth to Mahatma Gandhi to Martin Luther King. Still, not all of the ideas delineated by the author of the book are necessarily my own, but are necessary for a thorough book review. I review this book in Caring for the Soul because I feel every society and its individuals need the mirror from time to time of a cultural critic, such as Michael Moore.
