"Good Intentions" is about a future United States that has become the ultimate nanny state. One man, Winston Jones, is chosen by the mysterious Fairness for EveryBody Society to be the next president because he has the required makeup-ethnic, racial, religious, sexual orientation, etc.-to "fairly represent the diversity of America." The book is his reluctant adventure to discover what America is about and how to get it back to its real values. He comes across many clashing groups including "The Documented," a group of legal aliens that refuse to break the law and thus get no government entitlements. He also comes in contact with Radical Femlamism, a bizarre melding of Radical Feminism and Radical Islam. All along he's tracked by the Freedman Group, a collection of "subversives" who believe in free market capitalism and secretly run businesses without government interference.
