Port Townsend, Washington: Loompanics Unlimited, 1985. Assumed First Edition . Trade Paperbacl. Near Fine. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 136 Pages. Are you fed up with taxes that go nowhere but up and up? Have you had it with the snoopy government that keeps digging always deeper into your private affairs and is forever telling you that you can't do this and that you have to do that? Is your boss a pain in the ass? Is the noise and pollution and traffic of the city driving your up a wall? Wouldn't you like to get away to some place where people would just leave you alone so you could live your own life and do as you please? Well, maybe this is the solution to your problems. For several centuries, up to a few decades ago, anyone living in North America who felt confined and oppressed by the civilization, the government, the social rules, or the taxes and tithes demanded of him in the built up, settled areas could easily escape all that by moving west to the frontier. With the coming of the twentieth century, the frontier as it was formerly understood has disappeared on this continent. Now, just when government is more intrusive and demanding than ever, and constantly getting worse, the ready escape route seems to be closed. Some freedom seekers look to outer space as the only hope to find a place where people can be free again on a new wide open frontier. But it's far too soon to give up on Old Mother Earth. With enough imagination and some redefining of the idea of "frontier", we can find numerous places and niches that are waiting to be put to use by adventurous people who insist on being free.
