If you show me yours, I'll show you mine : )

This is what my SO has on the shelf here at home that I've actually read. 
Much more here that I haven't and likely won't make the time to read. I have 
never been to the Family Research Council website. If these sources are 
tainted with right-wing propaganda I certainly missed it but I suppose it is 
possible. Why don't you read them and let me know.
