Title: Teaching Snapping Turtles How to Chew Bubblegum Author: Jonathan Heatt Narrator: Don Sobczak Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 11-03-14 Publisher: Heattwave Productions Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: 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.
