Reading is Fundamental!


Given that a vast majority of the banditti blogski readers are borderline illiterate, the upper management at BB feel it is high time to start a new series of posts pertaining to the old block of wood aka the BOOK. Now before we get started, long periods of reading can cause harm and proper precautions should be taken to avoid injury such as eye strain, blindness, and of course eye worms. BB recommends consulting a certified physician before using one of your major senses. In todays book post we would like to spotlight the author Abbie Hoffman who brought us the highly acclaimed novel "Steal This Book." In this revolutionary piece of literature, Mr. Hoffman eloquently presents his ideas on social reform that inspired many to challenge the status quo. Mr. Hoffman wrote this novel for the modern day Renaissance man who feels that you don't have to take it anymore. Many regard this novel as a survival guide for living in Amerika.

Here is an excerpt from the introduction:  Steal This Book is, in a way, a manual of survival in the prison that is Amerika. It preaches jailbreak. It shows you where exactly how to place the dynamite that will destroy the walls. The first section-SURVIVE!-lays out a potential action program for our new Nation. The chapter headings spell out the demands for a free society. A community where the technology produces goods and services for whoever needs them, come who may. It calls on the Robin Hoods of Santa Barbara Forest to steal from the robber barons who own the castles of capitalism. It implies that the reader already is "ideologically set," in that he understands corporate feudalism as the only robbery worthy of being called "crime," for it is committed against the people as a whole. Whether the ways it describes to rip-off shit are legal or illegal is irrelevant. The dictionary of law is written by the bosses of order. Our moral dictionary says no heisting from each other. To steal from a brother or sister is evil. To not steal from the institutions that are the pillars of the Pig Empire is equally immoral.
