AMERICA'S SUICIDE takes the current political and economic downfall of America and breaks down the root causes as seen by the author Michael H. Davidson. Davidson initially describes the current state of our welfare system and the 'Parent State' as one of the problems facing our country. Davidson has some legitimate points about how giving to people without making them earn it does not help either them or the nation.

Davidson then goes on to blame Liberalism and those who have pushed it throughout the years, but he doesn't stop there.

Next Davidson slams conservatives and those who believe in God as ignorant and also blamed. He spends a whole third of the book insulting those who believe in God; implying that they are uneducated fanatics because science has proven there is no God, so if you believe then you're uneducated. He includes charts comparing religious people to socialists. He does at least point out that socialists have killed more people than religious fanatics ever have.

AMERICA'S SUICIE is not written from either a conservative or liberal perspective, it's fair to say Davidson points out the problems with both sides.

We are each entitled to our opinion and the beauty of free speech is that we can all write about it and publish books on it. It is a great thing to be able to read the ideas others have and how they think things can be fixed and our nation improved. My problem with AMERICA'S SUICIDE is Michael H. Davidson fails to do just that. The second to the last paragraph in the book states that, "I have no deeply reassuring and effective political solutions to offer" he then goes on to say that the best hope we have is " the road to self discovery, the road of individual responsibility, the road least traveled." Wow, thanks that helps.

My other problem with AMERICA'S SUICIDE is that in an attempt to sound intelligent Michael H. Davidson seems to have written the book and then gone through with a thesaurus and replaced words with every big word he could find. His sentences are flowery and make reading confusing trying to keep up with the attempt to make garbage smell like flowers.

If you are a reader who enjoys reading every perspective about the problems with our country than AMERICA'S SUICIDE is for you. If you believe that those who feel the need to write a book about our nation's problems should offers solutions more in depth the self discovery and more liberal arts then this book isn't for you.
