Humankind must learn to progress without contention. HERE WE ARE at the beginning of a new millennium and many of our social systems and ways of governing seem to fit like clothes from the back of the closet -- too tight and out of date. It's time to try something different, something more practical, fair and fun. The Velvet Monkey Wrench presents a way for humankind to exist on this planet, in balance, sensibly using what Earth has to offer. It explains a way to create a modern governmental structure, which gives the People, finally, the right to choose their present and future: a blueprint for a consensual society. Complete directions enclosed! This book first appeared in the dark days of the nuclear arms race, the bombing of Cambodia, Kent State, Watergate, and Wounded Knee. Today, exhausted by consumerism, dog-eat-dog competition, and more wars, we're still asking, "How-do-we-get-out-of-this-mess?" It's time to give John Muir's ideas a fresh look. Dead-on or off-the-wall, his prescient concepts will challenge your imagination. Here is a no-holds-barred practical plan, infused with satirical audacity and a warm, caring humanity.

Four irate rebels join forces to wage war on the stripminers, clear-cutters, and the highway and dam and bridge builders who are turning their natural habitat into a wasteland.
