The novel, while not realistic, does  trace the actual history of man’s intervention in Yellowstone and, with legitimate research, Crichton presents the negative…

Tax-Exempt Media Matters Wasn’t Investigated by the IRS

Quote of the Week

"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few and for the few, time to reject the idea of an "on your own" society and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity. I prefer a "we're all in it together" society.

Now, there is no greater force for economic growth than free markets, but markets work best with rules that promote our values, protect our workers and give all people a chance to succeed. (We) ....can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people."

~ Hillary Clinton, Collectivist & 1%er
