When finally given the chance to strike out on his own, Alex runs back to his boring, but safe, life as “just a kid from a trailer park.”

Koch Brothers
I know this is supposed to be a movie and television blog but I've been riled up this week.
Not pronounced /kɑːk/ |
For years now, certain political
groups have systematically taken rights away from the American worker. These
are rights that are constitutionally protected and eroding the rights of an
individual to make corporations stronger in the guise of strengthening our
economy is about as anti-American as one can get, despite what the far right
would have Fox news tell us otherwise.

Review of the first chapter of The Fabric of the Cosmos
The book I chose for my first blog post is one is called The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian
Greene. I bought the book on my Kindle after watching the four-part special on
PBS a couple of years ago. Had I realized that the actual book was 592 pages
long, I would have chosen different material (a big dumb movie, perhaps?) for
my first blog post. Oh well. Instead, I will review it by chapter by chapter.
