Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Falling Short of the Mark
"Government," Mr. Howard writes, "accomplishes virtually nothing of what it sets out to do. It can barely fire an employee. . ."

Mr. Howard's book focuses primarily on the irrational rules of government agencies---for example, OSHA, EPA, USDA, DEA and so forth---which are awash in thousands of rules that hamper and destroy businesses. OSHA alone has 10,000 pages of regulation. Other agencies have more.

An instance of the irrationality of these agencies is exemplified ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A must read
I first read this book 5 years ago. Since then I've purchased and given away over a dozen copies. When I give the book away, I challenge the reader to "don't get mad, do something about it". The examples that Howard uses illustrates how bureaucratic our society has become and with that how scarce "common sense" has become. It's a great illustration that the balance between "free will of the people" and unchecked bureaucracy continues to tip in the bureaucrats favor.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - We reap what we sow.
This book says the things we all have thought when we have heard of nonsensical law suits and the lack of common sense in our society. An easy read, this book intends to put a fire under people.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Deflecting responsibility from his own profession
The anecdotes are indeed maddening; of course the law and bureaucratic process can be described as "inefficient". However, over and again, Howard says, "Anyone can accuse anyone of anything," which is true, but he acts like the ability to accuse someone is the same as rendering judgment, and therefore our right to call someone to task in a court of law should be abridged. He neglects the fact that, once in the court of law, it is up to the lawyers and judges, and juries when appropriate, to dismiss ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Death of Common Sense
Well-written and well-researched book that presents the frightening picture of the beast that law in America has become. The author provides good historical background for the reader to appreciate the insidious development of what has become our current laws, how these laws have actually become impediments for progress and justice, and good discussions regarding the challenges facing any rational correction of this quagmire.

Very worthwhile and insightful reading.
