Bookworm Award Meme

Both Sheri at Bookopolis and Ramya at Ramya's Bookshelf have tagged me for the Bookworm Award! Thanks so much guys!

Here are the rules:

Open the closest book to you—not your favourite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment—to page 56.

Write out the fifth sentence as well as the next two to five sentences.

Pass this on to five blogging friends.

Well, the book closest to me happens to be The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama.

The First Amendment doesn't give you the right to yell "fire" in a crowded theater; your right to practice your religion does not encompass human sacrifice. Likewise, we all agree that there must be limits to the state's power to control our behavior, even if it is for our own good. Not many Americans would feel comfortable with the government monitoring what we eat, no matter how many deaths and how much of our medical spending may be due to rising rates of obesity. More often, though, finding the right balance between our competing values is difficult.

So there you have it! Thanks again guys!

For this, I'm tagging:
