Chapter 15-17

What happened to the author? Chapter 15 shed new light on a lot of topics that i had only thrown around in my head. It was nice to see that this book took a turn that i expected it to for once so that i could follow the story line a bit closer and put objects together that i had not previously connected. This explanation about how these events came to be is the perfect linking pin.
Chapter 16 really points out the fact that money trumps. It is tough to overcome such oppression when your opponent has deeper pockets than you. Those who were for slavery could publish and get their message out there easily because they could always pay for it. While this tactic is not long sighted it works well initially. "Keep cool and say little" interesting ending i feel.

Chapter 17. Government. Interesting how it can oppress how their people think and take part of their daily lives. It makes you appreciate the freedoms that you have and it makes you look at those that feel we are oppressed and tilt your head in hopes of understanding them further. The concept that a meeting pace was shut down because they have liberal and radical ideas is a bit to extreme for me even as someone with a conservative bias.
