Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

George Orwell is laughing in his grave. We call ourselves the "Land of the Free" but our freedom has been slowly taken from us beginning in the sixties. Since 9-11 the pace of loss of freedom has accelerated beyond the wildest dream in all aspects of our lives. We gave the government the right to take away our freedoms. Our children will ever know what freedom really was in the United States. We have lost our rights over our children, our property and we have citizens spying on each other. Under the guise of "War on Terror" the government can arrest a U.S. citizen without a cause, prevent us from traveling, listen to our phone conversations and often banking records without a court order. The "War on Drugs" allows the government to seize our assets without a trial. Our court system, the death penalty and laws on obscenity are amusing and frightful to people of other nations. This book covers in twenty chapters examples of how we have lost our freedoms. We have become the frog's who are being boiled to death.
