This has been a great week, and it’s only going to get better. First this week, Pete Eyre and Jay Talley of Motorhome Diaries showed up in Keene to begin their new project of the same name, and were welcomed by over 25 liberty activists at Social Sunday at Vendettas. Our once meager and less populous gatherings are becoming a thing of the past, as more and more activists make their way to the liberty activist hot spot, Keene, New Hampshire. That said, these two newly arrived activists are a juggernaut to be reckoned with in their badass Motorhome and powerful message of Liberty. No greenhorns to the movement, their experience can only serve to attract more and more of the talent and dedication we need to push back against the every encroaching tyranny of the State.
Now that said, I’d like to address some recent city politics and what I feel will be the appropriate response.
Last Thursday, the Keene City Council passed a… piece of legislation… wherein they gave 5,000 dollars to a group so they can do a “feasibility” study for a local co-op. Now, of course there is nothing wrong with a co-op by its own nature; they’re a great resource for individuals to attain healthy, local food. However, the price is not worth it. 5,000 dollars hijacked from citizens and individuals who may never even pick up fruit from this venture, 5,000 dollars stolen from the neighbors of these leeches. As much as I try to be unsurprised by the actions of the State, they reasoning here is just mind-blowing– take money that isn’t theirs for a project they’re not even sure will pan out for an idea they insist will be “good” for the community when they don’t even have the data to support that!
So, I’m going to go out to Central Square of Keene this weekend to prove a point– that you don’t need to use government money (that is, stolen money) to make a great project for the community come to realization. I plan on working from sun up to sun down on the grounds of Central Square, tilling the land and planting seeds for a community-accesible garden on public land. No cost will be incurred by the city or the locals, and the garden will be open to all who want to add their own labor or donate to defray the costs of my labor.
I don’t have much to add to this, because I think it all speaks for itself. Government is doing something stupid, something inefficient, and I’m going to demonstrate how you can do these things right in front of their offices, how this all works without incurring costs onto an unwilling populace.
Addendum– I will be doing this on which ever day is nicer, and if it turns out that it is raining both days, I plan on doing this the first day that it is not raining following this weekend.
