Iron Fist of the State vs. Invisible Hand of the Market

I think someone may have suggested the notion of having an Invisible Hand of the Market character opposing the Iron Fist of the State but if so, I no longer recall who. I apologize for not crediting you, if so.
My new computer had a faulty motherboard which I had to send back. The replacement arrived Monday and I finally got a chance to reassemble the computer including prying the CPU off the heat sink, cleaning all the gook off it, and putting new gook on it (to conduct heat). I hate that there was such a long delay between comics. There is more work to do on it, but at least it’s functional enough to make comics for now.

Peace Outreach on Election Day
In many places, there will be an elaborate ritual known as an election which is used as a rather contrived justification for committing violence against innocent people. November 3rd is the date chosen by those who partake in this rather disturbing religious practice. If you’re apolitical like myself, you may feel like this day is nothing special. You’re right, but knowing that many people will be using this day to reinforce their deadly delusions, I think it’s an excellent opportunity to present them with a peaceful and rational alternative that they’ve been sheltered from for most of their lives.
I’ll be handing out fliers at one of my local polling places and I encourage others to do the same. Please feel free to download and print them out using the links provided. Also feel free to modify them to suit your particular message. There is a list of websites on the last page to go to for more information. You may have a different list in mind. I like to say “Peaceful alternatives to politics” to people as they approach and I try not to shove the flier at them in an aggressive way but rather hold it up to inspire their curiosity. Your methods may differ.
I’ve also added a new design to the Anarchy In Your Head store if you’d like to have a shirt to wear for the occasion. Just click the “Peace Not Politics” image in this post to visit the store.

Six Innocents Arrested at 420 Rally
I wasn’t actually thrilled with the idea of having the rally during the Pumpkin Fest. I suggested we carve some creative Jack-O-Lanterns having a 420 rally and place them in the square as a quiet alternative. Well, others chose to continue, which is their right, so I did what I could to support them and at least make sure as many people as possible can witness police victimizing innocent people who own their own bodies with the tired excuse of “just doing my job”. If my job required me to victimize innocents, I would quit. I’d sooner flip burgers or sweep streets or something.
UPDATE: I took out the two-bit whore comment. It was a bit over the top as well as just not a very nice thing to say. I apologize to any prostitutes I may have offended.

Rejecting the Religion of Statism
In the video below I explain my motives for not going along quietly with a simple citation and paying the fine. Statism is a religion that I simply do not have faith in and those of us who feel that way need to come out of the closet and stop pretending that we do in order to fit in and avoid conflict.
