RESOURCE LIST
Knowledge
is power. Information is at least a tool, perhaps a shield, maybe even
a weapon.
Here are some sources of information and knowledge that you
might find useful. We don’t agree with all of them. In fact, we’re
so thoroughly controversial that, these days, we may not even agree with
the ones we wrote ourselves. Nevertheless, here they are: use them wisely!
