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.

Benjamin Franklin, 1706-1790
To introduce my article on the childhood of this famous gentleman, I want to quote from the web site"Benjamin Franklin, an Enlightened American" (see html at the end of this article): "What makes a leader? Intelligence, passion, strength, devotion, charisma, tenacity, perseverance, generosity, forgiveness. Franklin possessed all of these qualities and that is why he is considered to be one of the greatest American minds and a proud pillar of our national heritage. However, our affinity for Franklin extends deeper. He seems to embody and personify the American dream. Born the son of a candlemaker, few people would have surmised that Franklin would master so many disciplines. His story proves that with determination and dedication, success is within anyone's grasp. A leading American statesman, inventor, philanthropist, publisher, revolutionary, and thinker, Benjamin Franklin was truly the Enlightened American."
