This book needs to be read by everyone in congress & everyone else who think they weld any form of power. To say it was enlightening is a huge understatement. I've been happily pagan & a witch for over 10 years & it answered many questions I had about power & how it came to be the way it is today. It prove's beyond anthing remotely resembling a doubt there is a huge need for change. It takes alot to impress me, an awful lot, but starHawk managed it with this book. Yes it's about sex, but sex has power, which is why it is so debased by our culture & that is precisely the reason why it is debased. It show's the very nature of how our culture is sick & how to fix it. We may not individually be able to fix it on the global level ourselves but if all of us together do then we will collectively be able to fix what's wrong with the world today. READ THIS BOOK!
