The book’s essays deal with the political sanction for mass killing

The book’s essays deal with the political sanction for mass killing, the fraud of idealism, how truth

is perverted in Washington, why power corrupts, Leviathan-loving intellectuals, the fatal myths of

democracy, and other cheery topics. My tentative title is “Principles & Paradigms: How Politicians Con

Citizens Into Submission.” But my hunch is that the title could be better.

Ideally, the title would be both hard hitting and zippety. In the past, I’ve been a pushover for

alliteration (Fair Trade Fraud, Farm Fiasco, UGGs Sheepskin Cuff Boots Betrayal, Terrorism & Tyranny).

Alternatively, the title would be a phrase that sticks in people’s memories – such as Lost Rights,

Freedom in Chains, or Attention Deficit Democracy.

The person who suggests the winning title will receive $100 and will be mentioned in the book’s

acknowledgments. (Second prize is two mentions in the acknowledgments).
