Bush's new book

Finally finished with "My Pet Goat", our boy George has moved on to a new book for the new term.

The author of this book, a guy named Natan Sharansky, speaks of a "town-square test". I'm guessing this is like the much-maligned global test, only a lot smaller. The idea with this town-square test is that a person knows he or she is living in a free society if he or she can walk out in public and express his or her views with out fear of arrest.

Bush was speaking of these very freedoms in his second inaugural address just as protesters were being dragged from the crowd below.
