What is knowledge? A belief that is
shared by all the respectable people
in a community, whether there is any
evidence for it or not. What is faith?
A belief we hold so strongly that we
act as if it is true, even though we
know there are many who do not believe
it. What is opinion? A belief that
we expect other people to argue with.
What is scientific fact? An oxymoron.
Science does not deal in facts. It
deals in hypotheses, which are never
fully and finally correct.

Glenn Beck is on my radar again. I listen to him most mornings...(when Im not hiking) I have been for years now. I find him funny, brilliant, intense, and honest.
He's a breath of fresh air.
A few years ago I read his book- An Inconvenient Book- and found it to be humorous and educational. It was definitely worth reading.
This week it was my dad who mentioned Glenn Beck. He told me he was reading one of the first books Glenn had written. Dad was thoroughly enjoying every page. After he finished, he lent it to me. In this older book of Glenn's, he talks about everything that is relevant to whats going on today in our country. And that would be par for the course for Glenn...he's many, many steps ahead of the ball and even back in 2003 he could predict bad things com'in down the pike for us here in sleepy, lazy America. But as is his talent and brilliance...he also has solutions , things we Real Americans can do to wake us all up.
Glenn writes about his family, friends and faith. (he shares his conversion story to Mormonism! Its fascinating!!)
Its often laugh out loud funny.
Nobody in Hollywood is safe from his wrath and ridicule.
Its a wonderful, fast and enlightening read. Every Real American should read this book!!!
Im giving it 5 stars!!!
