Swim against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go With the Flow ReviewJim Hightower has been nudging, no walloping, the consciences of Americans for more than thirty years now. I first heard of him in the mid-1970s when he was working for the presidential campaign of Oklahoma populist senator Fred Harris. He then got involved in Texas politics and was elected the state's commissioner of agriculture in the 1980s where he pushed for organic farming, direct marketing by farmers, and the regulation of pesticides, as well as other progressive notions. Along the way he was always muckraking in print and talking on radio and television in a vein similar to that of his old buddy Molly Ivins and he developed a devoted following (and some powerful enemies). He hasn't been, like some, a bloviating member of the chattering classes but has always been an activist for causes in which he believes.
In 'Swim Against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go with the Flow', Hightower, with his life-partner Susan DeMarco, takes a look at and urges actions concerning corrupt big business practices, the tainted political process and even the conduct of our private lives. Much of what he says is disturbing but it is always lightened by his down-home Will Rogers-like humor. It's not often that a book can put your stomach in a knot at the same time that you are laughing until tears roll down your cheeks.
Still, there is much here that is preaching to the choir. I suspect that the people who ought to read the book won't. But among those who do, perhaps it will stimulate some to get off their duffs and get deeply involved in the affairs of their community, state and country. I happen to live in a state, Vermont, where this is the modus operandi of more than the ordinary percentage of the citizenry and I can attest that citizen involvement makes life a helluva lot better than when you 'let someone else do it.'
