5. I cannot stand that woman one bit...

but would not want to see that book, or any book, destroyed. History, and educated people, will judge that book to be exactly what it is- drivel. It should stand as a testament- something to point to and say "Yes- Americans are stupid enough to buy such drivel". This book, like Mein Kampf, should serve as a warning.

on edit: with a name like "Give Me Freedom" I am sure you understand. Freedom is messy, and isn't always something everyone agrees on.
