Some examples are brilliant, some are hilarious. All are disturbingly relevant. -Mark Glaess, former Executive Director, Minnesota Rural Electric Association The voice from this book lingers. I thought I normally questioned everything. I'm now even more consciously aware. -Ronald Gombach, The Gombach Group & Livingplaces.com What is truth?
