At the moment I'm reading "Steal This Book" by Abbie Hoffman, and "It's Good To Be The King" by Michael Badnarik. Hoffman's book is interesting. Instructions on hitchhiking, shoplifting, and sticking it to "the man". And Badnarik's book is good too. He has a pretty good grasp on the U.S. Constitution other than his falling into the common misconception that the 14th amendment created a new class of citizens. He thinks one can be a "state citizen" while not being a "U.S. Citizen".

I've seen these people before. They think U.S. law only applies to those living in Washington D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico, etc. and they are mistaken.

Hoffman is also mistaken in his stupid support of socialism and communism, but that's another story. He was very creative in his Yippie days. I love the protest where he threw cash onto the floor of the stock exchange and pointed out the traders scrambling all over the floor trying to pick up money. Good visual. The funny part is they'd have made more money if they just kept trading.
