ZeroGov: A Vision for an Unshackled Humanity: Volume II

by Bill Buppert, Mike Bapistellar (Illustrator)

"What a writer can do, what a fiction writer or a poet or an essay writer can do is re-engage people with their own humanity."
- Barbara Kingsolver

This is the second volume of essays I've written and includes 2012-2015.
The essay form allows one to take a serious look at a variety of
subject and make substantive points and more importantly, whet the
reader's curiosity or send them on a journey to discover more about
something that may impact their lives.

Orwell, Mencken and many
others have used the essay to change the world, I'm hoping that these
can at least change some minds for the better.


So when asked, I state plainly, I am an abolitionist. I consider myself bestowed a rich inheritance from the likes of Spartacus and the ancient stoics and the abolitionists of old like William Wilberforce, Granville Sharp, William Lloyd Garrison and Lysander Spooner. The last of whom came close to taking the question of slavery to its now elegant conclusion.

Inevitably, one must ask in a clear and sober voice of oneself: "Do you in fact endorse the institution of slavery and if not, what are YOU doing now to abolish it?" The first answer is inevitably you must free yourself and sunder the shackles of your own servitude to the government lie. The rest is up to you.

This may be the first step in unshackling humanity.

Resist.
