"... the awesomely gifted Alisha DeFreitas... tells her story of  her brush with the Culture of Death and her refusal to play the world’s game. I love that she gives two well-aimed upraised middle fingers: one to the abortion culture of the Left, and one to the Randian Makers vs. Takers class warriors of the Right. She’s one of my heros."

Mark Shea, author and blogger

Don, at Minus The Bars

Joe, my brother, author of The Blog of Blogs


"Are you really bored or something?"

Joscelyne, my sister

Reader Brooke Farmer, on this entry.
