FDR's 4 freedoms

Samantha Power's memoir is amazing in so many ways. Right now I'm reading about her and Obama's response to the Ebola outbreak. Seems quite different than our current president. Anyway, she mentioned FDR's 4 freedoms. I was not familiar with that. Norman Rockwell has 4 famous painting demonstrating those 4 freedoms. I'm learning so much from this book about how government works, and the history of America and the world.

Here are some things I like about The Education of an Idealist:

A woman breast feeding while doing important things.
The fierce desire to preserve human life.
The willingness to do whatever: be a journalist, learn a language, go to law school, work on a campaign, move all over the USA, juggle marriage and family, to learn how to talk in a confirmation hearing, learning how to talk to journalists.
She discusses the impact of various photos on her image, and how others would skew her image and words to suit their own purposes.
She discussed her learning process based on her personality.
She loves sports.
We get to see the inner workings of the US government from many different angles.
Learned about genocides around the world.
Her commitment to good consequences and what works.
Her willingness to look for all kinds of solutions to difficult problems.
Her hard work and the fact that often it was close to futile.
Quixotic appreciations but no loss of purpose.
The largeness of her perspectives.
Her travels in the world.
Her impressions of famous people.
She works hard to get complicated ideas expressed well.
She discusses difficult decisions in the context of her family.

Democracy or democrazy?

Admittedly the choice between corrupt democrats and corrupt republicans isn't the political choice I want. I'd rather vote my way towards fairness, elimination of poverty, anti-trust laws that fight the consolidation of corporations (you read about grocery stores lately?), education, infrastructure. What you do get is a vote for democrats that vote to end rail strikes ( source ) because they can't carve out of the profits a sick leave, versus reality denying, Russian bought, obstructionists who might lower taxes, and want smaller government. The Ron Swanson's of the world who hate government and work in government. I've been running into people who believe the corrupt choices aren't worth even making. Reasons not to pay attention.I've thought that a few times in my life, but I don't think that now.  There are real choices about health care for women, and even just an attitude towards democracy. It's hard to fight past the rhetoric, and understand eve

Consent

You couldn't have a better title to a memoir in these times. You can read about Humbert Humbert, and other male narratives, but the female narrative of the statutory rape is fulfilled by this book. I feel slightly ill while reading this book. What she goes through is off, and it's hard to put a finger on it besides  Hebephilia . All the collaborating details from her mother, to her doctors, to her father. Vanessa Springora will be remembered for other things, she is a director and a publisher. I'm not sure if  Gabriel Matzneff will be remembered for other things. At least not on this side of the pond. I do have a kind of jealousy for the appreciation of the intellectual life in France.  Matzneff cites Lewis Carroll , and others as having the appreciation for youth. I read his Wikipedia page. That led to other questions about photographers who take pictures of their children. That led me down a creepy path. As much as Springora tries to not make it sexy, I wonder how many
