Hello Mr Johnston . Glad to see you come out with this. Hard to keep up with the leeches,freeloaders and legal thieves , It’s a full time job . Having been enthralled by ” Perfectly Legal”, I will definitely read this . We’ve been having the Wal-Mart (2nd store) debate here in Broome Co. NY, over the last year. Unfortunately there seem to be a lot of people brainwashed by the Wal-Mart pr , and the usual “It brings in jobs/ increases the tax base .” line of bs . Maybe your book will be useful .
I think the first I heard of “dead peasant” insurance was in conjunction with W-M.

Btw , there’s a good segment on an alternative , here http://hotzone.yahoo.com/ . It’s in Part 5, of the “Independent America ” series . Just click on any video , and after the video player comes up , scroll back , on the videos below .

Just back from dinner. Another mind boggling book salon. Thanks to David and Jane.

Read on and pass the book along to a friend.

I hope I did the right thing — I clicked on the “buy from Amazon” button on the right under the photograph of David’s book. That does earn FDL a penny or two, right? (I got 2 copies — one for me, one to send around…)

Thank you so much David. You remind all of us of our responsibilities to make this a thriving society instead of a society divided into haves-and-have-nots. To quote John Edwards, We are better than that.

One of my secret sneaky plans was to give it to someone I work with after I’m done with it…
