Summary: When the government is creepy!
Comment: Our government passes laws they think are helping us, but in fact, many of the laws are designed to create more beaurocracy and then to create more money to keep the behometh it has created, running. Law abiding folks find themselves backed into a corner, forced into breaking laws that are not designed to help, but to hinder the pursuit of happiness, or simple survival even. Politicians call for less government out of one side of their mouth while creating more with the other. Most of us are too busy trying to put food on the table to be able to follow the machinations of politicians, even when the laws passed make it more difficult to do the former. Government Creep give examples of what can happen when Big Brother becomes the oppressive and overprotective parent. Loompanics does it again with an insightful book about the way it is.

Summary: Why well-intended laws do terrible things
Comment: Author of "The Government Vs. Erotica", Philip Harvey details in this great, provocative book why well-intended laws have caused horrible pain and suffering. The examples he points out include witch hunts for adult-oriented materials, government regulations undermining small business, complicating a divorce with criminal prosecution via a victimless crime law, and peaceful people being harrassed due to new national security laws. Harvey explains, all of this shinanegans is being done in order to "'protect' consenting adults from each other" and "to see if we're 'corrupting' ourselves or someone else." Philip Harvey was the victim of a witch hunt where government officials hounded him for 8 years for selling Erotica via his mail order business until he ended up prevailing in court. He points out five ways to protect ourselves so that the reader doesn't become a victim of any of the circumstances he outlines.

Summary: Shows How Uncle Sam Has Become a Dysfunctional Parent
Comment: It should be clear by now that we have too much government. Strip searches, confiscated homes, stolen children, denial of due process, war without end. Sounds like life in a Third World country, doesn't it? But this is our own federal government "for, of, and by the people," invading our personal lives, supposedly for our own good.
Government Creep: What the Government Is Doing That You Don't Know About shows how Uncle Sam has now become a dysfunctional parent - standing guard in our bedrooms to "protect" consenting adults from each other, peering at what we read to see if we're "corrupting" ourselves or someone else, making it impossible to run a small business, incarcerating our children and confiscating our homes under laws that make freedom lovers shudder.
It has been a long time since such an explosive and well-written title has been released. Some of the most respectable civil libertarians in the nation - including ACLU President Nadine Strossen - have come out and stated that this is the THE book to read if your concerned about your freedoms.
"Government Creep will give you the creeps about the increasingly invasive role of government in every aspect of our lives - our homes, our workplaces and even our bodies and minds."
~ Nadine Strossen, President of The American Civil Liberties Union
"A clear and concise look into the inner workings of a modern day persecution... A significant chronicle in the evolution of [the] First Amendment Political Debate."
~ Wisconsin Lawyer
Some books just explore injustice. This one exposes it.
