Starting right in on the GoF book is Ok with me, personally.  From what
I've read of the book,
I find the material to be quite accessible, without any need for any
"advanced" knowledge
or anything.

I just wanted to offer up the possibility of starting with something else,
in case some might be
intimidated by the GoF book.  Honestly though, I agree with Tom.  We could
start there safely,
I'm pretty sure.

Read Orwell's 1984.  Read a newspaper.  Fear the future.

The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty
is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.

Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little order,
will lose both and deserve neither. - Benjamin Franklin
