    Texts with the Theme of Individuality

    It was alright. I honestly found it a bit over the top, you know the overuse of the animal and australiana metaphors seemed a bit forced to me.

    Tom Clancy; Right wing demagogue, entertaining and readable author, or both?

    I'll think you find that Tom Clancy and Alquieda's idea was stolen from WWII Japanese Kamikaze's ;) Hence the fact the pilot was Japanese!
