You won't finish this on one flight, unless your flying trans-pacific, but "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross is an EXCELLENT read (you probably won't find it at a local bookstore, they'll have to order it, IF they'll order it at all). Some other good reads are "Molon Labe" (Boston T. Party); "Domestic Enemies" and "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" (Matthew Bracken); and finally, "Patriots, Surviving the Coming Economic Collapse" (James Wesley Rawles). The last one, also known as "The End of The World As We Know It" is a rather good, captivating, and somewhat disturbing book given the current economic situation. It is eye opening given the fact that it was originally published in 1999. There was a reprint with additional chapters released in 2008 (I think that was the year). Check these out, you WON'T be disappointed!!!!!!
