Give Me Liberty!: Freeing Ourselves in the Twenty-First CenturyGerry Spence
Gebundene Ausgabe
" We are slaves. All of us, " writes Wyoming superlawyer Gerry Spence with his trademark exuberance. " The New Master is an entanglement of megacorporations on the one hand and an omnipresent national government on the other, each stuck to the other like a pair of copulating dogs, each unable to move without dragging the other behind it, each dependent upon the other, hating the other, but welded to the other in a dissolute enterprise. " This decidedly offbeat manifesto will make Spence-who comes across as a left-leaning Ross Perot on steroids-friends and enemies at every point along the political spectrum. Among his tamer suggestions are a call to criminalize campaign contributions, forced voting for all citizens, and the drafting of judges for temporary assignment from a pool of trial lawyers. In case these ideas don't go far enough, Spence also wants to rewrite the U. S. Constitution. Liberal populists will cheer < I> Give Me Liberty! for its unremitting audacity; conservatives will chafe at Spence's fundamental radicalism. < I>-John J. Miller
