About this listen

Trying to reason with a Republican (or Democrat) is like teaching a snapping turtle how to chew bubblegum. This conclusion birthed the title of my book. Teaching Snapping Turtles is an opinionated nonfiction book about American society in the 21st Century. The problem with politics is that both parties believe they're right. No matter what. Only the other person needs to change. The shell is a happy place.

Contemporary society is diseased. Violent. Corrupt. Many people sleepwalk and wade through life with no purpose. Gun violence continues unabated and unaddressed by our mercenary politicians. Wealth continues to be consolidated by the few; a sociopathic symptom of Capitalism.

Americans suffer from hunger pains of which they know not. A spiritual void pervades society - not a religious one, but a sense of purpose eludes the bulk of our populace. Buy and Consume are momentary reprieves that leave a person feeling empty. Teaching Snapping Turtles is merely a mirror of truth of the insane times we live in. Gun sales increase as tragedies grace the front pages. Unless we immediately change as a people then there will only be more Sandy Hooks.

The truth shouldn't always be pretty and polite. Truth can be vulgar. Jonathan Heatt questions everything Americans hold dear: guns, capitalism, religion, sports, violent movies... and highlights the harm these things are having on Humanity. Teaching Snapping Turtles is a big dose of penicillin for the entire country - a vital injection of reason that defies demographics.

Warning Warning!

I must warn millennials and those Who are offended by that hard language and talk of sex. Oh yes and those allergic to truth and logic.

Now on to the review. Jonathan Heath tackles age old issues and the new problems with honesty and wit that a logical person would find it hard to disagree with.

TeachingSnapping Turtles How To Chew BubblegumIs a dissertation that no one escapes scrutiny. Not Democrats Republicans black people white people Indians Middle Eastern people everyone is fair game and is fairly assessed by Jonathan heat. I recommend this book to those who are fond of political commentary and not your average smokescreen and mirrors. I would love it if this book was in the college curriculum for all children who are soon to be adults to read and learn from. Although I don’t at all agree with his opinions on religion… I’m sorry not religion God I don’t think God is superstition as God is real. In any event that is what makes America so great we can all have different opinions and still live together. Read this book! I loved it!
