"Beneath Sheeps Clothing" by Julie Behling is a book I hoped I'd never have to read. Deeply selfishly, I'd prayed that this culture war we're finding ourselves rather immersed-in now wouldn't happen until after I was long gone. Things aren't hopeless yet, but it's getting fairly dicey in lots of places anymore (the big cities & both coasts). The wars our father's and forefathers fought to secure this last period of peace and prosperity, at least for this country (~80-years) appears to be coming to an end. What comes after is anybody's guess, but I suspect that it won't all be pretty. This coming election year is going to be a serous catfight and I have absolutely no-idea how it will all turn out. I'd love to continue to ignore all the unpleasantness and just focus on the fun things in life but... I suspect that we'll all get dragged into it somehow and fairly shortly now. God help us.
