Product Description

Mommy didn't always love the state. First she had to learn about what it was and what it could do for her. Read all about Mommy's fun adventures with government and how, no matter how bad it gets, Mommy never gives up on the power of the state to fix everything!

I loved "Why Mommy Loves the State". This book traces the path of a typical girl who grows up and realizes that she can have everything she wants if she can get the government to give it to her. Things start out well as she gains more and more from government intervention. Eventually she comes to realize that any government powerful enough to give you everything you want is powerful enough to take everything you have. I won't spoil the ending, but the book is written with a simple, direct explanation that even a child could understand. It seems rather unfortunate to me that some adults still don't understand the point, but perhaps this book will help.

I love Fyodor Dostoevsky

"Hell is the suffering of being unable to love". Dostoevsky

I saw this quote by one of my very favorite writers and it got me wondering. Is this really true? I mean, what about the suffering that comes from loving too much and not being loved in return? That's not nothing. And do people who are unable to love, really care? Do they even know what they are missing? Sure, the rest of us understand the profound deficit but would someone unable to love have any idea what an extraordinary and profound loss they're walking around with?
If you have never read anything by my beloved Fyodor Dostoevsky, you should pick up a copy of Notes from the Underground. Or The Idiot or Crime and Punishment. Or The Brothers Karamazov. Brilliant. All of them. Do yourself a favor, read them!
