Well, that's one person's opinion, right?

I read the book, and it impressed me. I watched the video, and I got an impression of a man who is anything but emotionally flat about what he's concerned about. He seems absolutely impassioned about it to me, and quite emotional. His book strikes me as very honest, in that he admits freely to his own shortcomings rather than trying to hide them.

He also did extremely well in business, both as an employee at MAIN and later as a CEO with his own alternative energy company. That suggests to me that he's not a weak or incapable man in the least. He's a very successful capitalist. He's the kind of guy any "conservative" should just love...if he just didn't expose the dirty laundry.

I suspect the reviewer didn't like the book because its conclusions don't match the reviewer's own cherished political beliefs. And that can ruin anyone's estimation of the worth of a book, can't it? (grin)

I mean...we are all VERY subjective in how we go about rating things as "bad" or "good". Face it. We're all biased from the getgo.
