I decided that I needed to take one of my freebies for the Handmaid's Tale response. That book just made me angry because of its terrible ending, and potentially frightened, because Gilead resembles what a freakish fundamentalist-Christian America would be at its most extreme. For that reason alone, I actually think that more people should have to read it, and maybe have second thoughts about pushing their morals/beliefs on others. That being said, I also already have midterms beginning. My first exam is tomorrow. Gah....: /
though it has probably been noted...

If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure that even today's fundamentalist Christians wouldn't support the world of The Handmaid's Tale. Not without a lot of brainwashing and a crippling war, at least.
