No bad. Thanks for posting this.
The Handmaid's Tale is a great book. I wish EVERYONE read it. It's now out in paperback, so there's no excuse, people. IMO, this is as seminal a work on fascist dictatorships as is George Orwell's 1984.These two works need to be read.
Free copy of 1984:

Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't even see the other thread! Guess the Rep. convention and Palin's nomination kinda stirred up similar thoughts in others.

It's interesting that several people were reminded of "The Handmaidens Tale". It's creepy.
