Today, government is ubiquitous. It is impossible to think of a decision, even a minor one, that does not require you to consider the reaction or role of some level of government. This is the first instructional book for an essential life skill; avoiding government interference in our lives or dealing with it when it is inevitable. Subjects include zoning boards, homeowner's associations, traffic court and misdemeanors, the criminal court system, child welfare and divorce, and of course, taxation.
