Book blurb:
I often reflect on the way this disaster came to be. How could a democratic
society allow a duly elected government to label some human beings as
human-animal, and demote them to a level of no more importance than any other
head of farm stock; subject by law to compassionate care, market sale, or
humane CULL, as deemed an appropriate business decision by the government
itself or the corporations who owned them.
However, we all stood mutely by when in 2022, the “human-animal
redefinition law” passed the world Congress. The classification of people as human-animal
chattel had been a long, slow process, filled, in the beginning, with many
protests and arguments. The whole classification process was innocuous enough
to start—a mandated micro-chip implanted in all humans—this was intended to
allow the government to be sure money and food was allotted in the correct
amounts. Touted as a lifesaving tool, it also allowed tracking and immediate
identification. This implant opened the door for a much darker usage. At first, this set well with many families who had non-productive family
members and friends who would not, or could not provide for themselves. Letting
them live in their home and having food and care paid for by the government was
a huge relief. Since no criteria had yet been published concerning the level of
care for “human-animal chattel', unsuspecting family members naively believed
it would be sufficient and welcomed the strays back into their arms as soon as
they were safely on the government dole. Looking back, it would appear that
some merit had now been added to the comments made by a well-known intellectual
shortly after the 2010 bill passed, “due to a lack of transparency and the
stupidity of the American voter."
Meanwhile, happy, busy people quickly forgot all about
that awful “label.” They were soon lulled back into the false sense of security
that living in a three hundred year old democracy can so comfortably provide.
Advertising the book I co-authored! What an experience this has been. I had no idea what work was involved for the self-published authors. I salute you all!
