    Literally: Things People Shouldn't Say , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 67min
    Language is the most beautiful gift, the most heavenly tool accessible to mankind. Let us not make of it a mockery. My opposition to the entries within as “things people shouldn’t say” is born of respect for our language. It is not for the prevention of harm or any other great evil, if there be any. It is merely for the sake that we can express ourselves better. Let us fill this capacity. Let us meet this destiny. Let us talk good. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jason Bonsall. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/147018/bk_acx0_147018_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Highest Glass Ceiling , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
    Since Victoria Woodhull launched her symbolic bid for the presidency in 1872, dozens of women have sought the presidency over the past 150 years. Their quest began long before women won the vote, and it unfolded over decades when a woman's pursuit of any higher political office was met with prejudice, mockery, and hostility. Even after women started voting in 1920, they remained shut out of rooms where presidential candidacies were often born. Whether a woman will break through the glass ceiling during the current election cycle is uncertain, Fitzpatrick acknowledges. But it will happen sooner or later. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Of Eagles and Ostriches , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 144min
    This is a book of "political poetry", one that does force the listener to face being honest with themselves...not the image of what they might have thought mere moments before listening to something within. I challenge either side of the aisle to see and decide which of the two birds, either an eagle or an ostrich, they closer resemble - these conclusions must then be addressed personally and patriotically. Do you know which one you are? I'm willing to bet the answer you come to might surprise you! For way too long, we have been running on the fumes of patriotism, the ideals vs. the reality, the thoughts vs. the truth of who we are, and the "what" we have become. Just on torture alone, a criminal act, we fail to exhibit and justify the notion of freedom - or how we should use the freedom we have. When what freedom we take, as Fredrick Douglas once felt, I'm sure deprives another of their freedom. It makes freedom a mockery and renders those using it wrongly to bare naked mockery themselves. Still think you know freedom? I hope you will find this book both eye-opening and informative, with a viewpoint you might not have had before listening to it. If you say you are a conservative or a liberal, these thoughts contained within this book will challenge your beliefs. The thoughts expressed in this book, with the poetry on freedom, will confront notions of what it truly means to be independently minded - if indeed freedom is worthy of the pursuit we give it for the purposes we were taught from youth. The question really comes down to: have we strayed from what we learned about freedom or find we don't know the meaning of freedom at all - being removed from the ideals first known? ungekürzt.
