    you disagree with a book reference?

  2. Re:is carnivore bad? on Feds Thwart Extortion Plot Against Best Buy · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you're looking for sources of information, Ward Churchill and Jim Vander Wall's book Agents of Repression: The F.B.I.s Secret Wars Against the Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement (South End Press) is a good start. When large numbers of readers refused to believe the stuff they had written (even though it extensively referenced the FBI's own documents), they did a follow-up book that just reprinted the FBI material called The COINTELPRO Papers: Documents from the FBI's Secret Wars Against Dissent in the United States. Harder to disbelieve that, I guess.

    the kurt vonnegut story "welcome to the monkey house" dealt with this. five generations were living in the same house waiting for each other to die so they could have their own room. the government offered free "voluntary suicide services" on every street corner where you could get a lethal injection from a pretty lady. worth checking out.
