I have yet to discover the alchemist\u2019s trick, but I still have fun with the dirt. <\/p>\n<p>\t I have sometimes been mistaken for a troublemaker.  My work has been publicly denounced by the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Postmaster General, and the chiefs of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, International Trade Commission, Drug Enforcement Administration, Agency for International Development, and Federal Emergency Management Agency. <\/p>\n<p>\t Yet, I was merely seeking to help Americans appreciate how their government serves them. <\/p>\n<p> \t This is the wayward journey from Eagle Boy Scout to public policy hooligan &#8211; from being raised to revere authority to slaughtering sacred cows left and right, or at least hot-branding politicians.  <\/p>\n<p>\tIt is also the story of the overnight conversion of a protein pill-popping weightlifting champion into a library-addicted philosophy devotee. I dropped out of college after becoming enthralled by a Great Books list.  After the classics awoke my mind to new Yukon Territories, I could no longer endure  tenured droning. <\/p>\n<p>\tDisregarding the unanimous recommendations of my Freshmen English professors, I vowed to become a writer. Before my pen hit paydirt, I worked as a Santa Claus, peach picker, highway department flagman, Kelly Girl typist, lawn mower, demented Beatrix Potter rabbit, census taker, freight unloader, construction worker, and Harvard Business School-certified snow shoveler. <\/p>\n<p>\tWith coffin makers on one side of my family and gravediggers on the other, I naturally became an investigative journalist. From getting kicked out of the Supreme Court, to heisting damning documents at World Bank headquarters, to racing around  East Bloc regimes one step ahead of the secret police, I have had more fun than I deserved. My rabble-rousing in Playboy, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and elsewhere exposed how bureaucratic rampages have razed one constitutional right after another.<\/p>\n<p>\tThis is the chronicle of how I came to better understand liberty and Leviathan. I\u2019ve had a front row seat as our republic morphed into an Attention Deficit Democracy.  I remain mystified why so many people willingly submit to rulers who give them such grief.<\/p>\n<p>*****<\/p>\n<p>\tThe names of some of the women mentioned in this narrative have been changed so that they don\u2019t track me down and try to stab me again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following is the preface to Public Policy Hooligan.
