Forked is a methodically, if fictitiously, documented explanation of why our country is as politically, economically, and morally wretched as it is; it identifies three tines of a fork--the three groups who are largely responsible for these miseries. These groups are the greedy, the over-religious, and the dumb. Forked proposes ways to blunt the tines of this fork through media, schools, and various strategies. The book is laced with dry, sardonic humor.
