Clan of the One-Breasted Women
I'd heard of this reading before, but I'd never gotten around to reading it, and I'm glad this class finally made me. Even though I'm not Mormon and haven't had the experiences the author did, I can relate with being told not to question something. My parents are military and very old fashioned, and so questioning the government has been such a huge taboo for so long I feel odd even suggesting one could. I know this sentiment doesn't end with me; most of my friends feel the same way, and whether or not that's good, I'm sure it extends past all of us as well. That said, I greatly value my independence, and can understand the value of questioning authority. Very interesting read

I agree that questioning the government is hard to do coming from a military family as well. But from being in a military family I also understand how much is given up for our freedom and that at times the government isn't always right and does put our loved ones into danger with no reason other than go. That is something that has allowed to start thinking about questioning the government.
