5.0 out of 5 stars
Another Classic from Claire Wolfe !, June 25, 2000
By A Customer
If Claire Wolfe doesn't watch out, she is going to be tagged as one of the great voices for freedom of our age. (Or any age for that matter) Wolfe's third book is a triumph of humor and practicality. Even when she's being humorous she drives her point home yet does not preach. This is not a book to just read, this and her first book "101 Things to do till The Revolution" should be used as guides for potential hard times. BTW, this book is not a sequel. It stands by itself. There is no need to read "101 Things..." first.Got friends who think you're a nut? Give them "101 Things..." and "Don't Shoot the Bastards". I've had many friends (including my wife) who never seemed to "get it" when we would discuss politics. After reading Wolfe's work, a light came on for many of them. (including my wife) I think they are the perfect books for the friends and family members who just don't seem to understand present day politics. Buy them, read them, love them. This is great work

Courageous work, funny in parts but disturbing., November 7, 1999
By A Customer
As a woman, reading Claire's advice on matters of freedom and how to keep the state at bay, I often felt a bit uncomfortable. This is a powerful voice, wry at times, but consistent and clear. Having recently read Transfer-the end of the beginning, by Jerry Furland, what was once just background noise (the evening news-print media) is now a daily reminder of the things I learned from reading these two books. If you prefer a blissful ignorance of what is happening to our country and where we are headed, don't read these books. You will never be the same after you have. God Bless Claire Wolfe and Jerry Furland.

Claire writes and THINKS free, July 28, 1999
By A Customer
Claire Wolfe could write instructions for assembling a bicycle and make them fun. She writes with tremendous wit and sass, as well as intelligent indignation. While other freedom-movement writers just gripe about what's wrong, Wolfe says, "Okay guys, let's see what we can DO about it." This book isn't quite as action-oriented as her first book (101 Things to Do Til the Revolution). Some of the "to do" items are just things to think about. But that's a minor complaint. This is good stuff. Oh -- and a word for "Mr. Innuendo" (the anonymous "Reader from rural NW", whose review is below): If her "loyalties have been...questioned" how about telling us the questions and the questioners? And if the sources for this book were "known" snitches and feds, how about naming the guilty ones so we'll ALL be in the know, as you want us to think you are? Bottom line: Claire gives facts, sources and ideas you can evaluate on your own. She's not like some people who give only innuendo, slander, rumor and sour grapes. "Mr. Anonymous" has one valid point. If you're a really hardcore Internet political junkie, some of the info in this book will be familiar. It's Wolfe's way of looking at information and writing about freedom that makes Don't Shoot special.
