Book: Fahrenheit 451. A great story that takes place in the future where books are banned, and the fire department, is not responsible for put out fires, but setting books on fire. website: I do not have a website at this time. |

I was getting ready to bookmark Skeptic.com, then I realized that I have a folder for it already where I had several bookmarks. "Do all the good you can... In all the ways you can...

Movie - Failsafe - a great story about the possible consequences of nuclear weapons and war in general. The ending made a very powerful impression on me. Movies like this and Fahrenheit 451 are the kind of quality movies we just don't see these days. Book: Red China Blues - a good insider/outsider perspective of the cultural revolution in China. Website - www.wikipedia.com - I know everyone knows about it, but I think it one of the most valuable uses of the internet to date and is a perfect example of how the internet should be used. |
