I just got done reading this book. It is a quick read with short chapters. There is not a lot of editorial, just facts and figures. Each chapter deals with a different topic. he lists bullet points with fact and figures showing why that particular issue is f'd up and needs to go. the book could use an update as it was written in 1995, but most of the issues are still relevant today.
Issues covered:
Affirmitive action
assault weapons ban
asset forfeiture
CAFE standards
confiscation via wildlife accusation
the CRA (community reinvestment act)
DARE
DEA's war on music fans (deadheads)
disabilities act
drunken checkpoints
entrapment
FDA drug approval delays
Handgun grabbing
historic preservation
HUD's war on free speech
IRS
Medical devices and the FDA
medical marijuana and the DEA
Money laundering control act
no-knock raids
FDA approval for each specific use of a the same drug
bogus child abuse allegations
police brutality
recycling: criminalizing your trash
section 8
superfund program
typhoid mary full employment act
vitamins: the federal war on dietary supplements
wetlands: locking up landowners for the birds
zoning: the new american dictatorship
