I greatly appreciate the wit and viewpoint of writer and commentator Sarah Vowell. A recent interview of hers was introduced this way: "Vowell's work investigates how American history is intertwined with our popular culture, often to amusing effect. Vowell recently sat down with Smithsonian Magazine to discuss her newest book, The Wordy Shipmates, which focuses on Puritan settlers in New England."
Vowell compares the early religious colonists of America with current political and religious issues. As she puts it, there is something in our "DNA" that we've inherited from those early settlers.
