{"product_id":"2940016525532","title":"Crisis America Legaltheftism","description":"American society is being robbed. We are barely aware of it because it is put into law; it is legal. That is why James Farny coined the word “legaltheftism,” to “describe what is legal in a particular time and place but contrary to ethical law to not steal.”\u003cbr\u003e Moneyed persons dominate public opinion with deceptive advertising and control policies with gifts to officials. Special interests tell us that government is evil. Government and business are both evil when they are in collusion to get rich at public expense, deplete resources, and pollute our air, soil, and water. William F. Buckley said, “The future doesn’t have a vote.” We might add, “A shortsighted present doesn’t care.”\u003cbr\u003e The Department of Transportation budget is an example. Americans are taxed to pay for the vastly expensive Interstate Highway system for private use and air travel used largely by high-income business travelers. High-speed rail and public transit get little by comparison.\u003cbr\u003e Trains can carry 1000 passengers at an energy saving of 96 percent of the energy used in their 1000 automobiles.\u003cbr\u003e In school, Farny graduated from Lehigh University in chemical engineering and studied graduate-level transportation engineering and regional planning at the University of Pennsylvania. He served two years in the Army Chemical Corps.\u003cbr\u003e He was process engineer, quality engineer, production supervisor, and staff engineer at Thiokol for 32 of his 42 years in industry.","brand":"Dorrance Publishing Co.
