Revoking my Libertarian Party “Life Membership”, a.k.a. Politics Sucks!

Filed under: Activism, Essay, Hypocrisy, Introduction, Issues, National, News, Personal Freedom, Rant, Response — Ian at 5:32 pm on Monday, April 28, 2008

No PoliticsThe Libertarian Party (LP) had, after the late, great Harry Browne’s campaigns, been falling further and further from it’s original principles. In the early portion of this decade, when the LP removed from the party platform their calls for the abolishment of the CIA and FBI, I wrote their newspaper to say I’d not send them another dime of money until they got back to their founding principle: the non-initiation of force.

As I drifted away from the LP and politics and toward market-based action, I paid less and less attention to the LP. I even said on the air recently on “Free Talk Live“, my talk show, that the only reason I was still a member is because I bought a life membership and it hadn’t been worth my while to cancel it.

A Heated Conversation about Marijuana with Senator Molly Kelly

Filed under: Corruption, Hypocrisy, Issues, Personal Freedom, Police, Question, Rant, Thuggery — Ian at 11:55 am on Thursday, April 10, 2008

Molly KellyKeene area Senator Molly Kelly called me back for the very first time ever today. I originally called to ask for her opinion on the marijuana decriminalization bill that the Senate will be hearing soon. I wish I had recorded the call. Allow me to break it down for you:

I first thanked her for her return call and asked how she felt about the legislation. She gave the standard politician answer that she had not yet read it. I then summarized the bill for her (<1/4oz possession would no longer be an arrestable offense) and asked not for a response on the legislation but for her thoughts on the issue of marijuana decriminalization. She responded that she was not familiar with the legislation.

I once again clarified for her that at this point I was just curious as to how she felt about marijuana users being arrested and put into jail cells. She responded that she did not believe that actually happens! (Read on …)

Marijuana Decriminalization Action Alert

Filed under: Activism, Corruption, Hypocrisy, Issues, Police — Ian at 9:35 pm on Sunday, February 17, 2008

PotIf you would like to beg some politicians to act in a sane manner, here’s what you can do:

The full NH House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee will vote an up-or-down recommendation on marijuana decriminalization as early as THIS TUESDAY.

This bill has a decent shot of passing, if there is a public outpouring in favor of it.
The number of emails from New Hampshire residents in favor of the bill will make all the difference.

(Only) if you live in New Hampshire, PLEASE take one minute of your time RIGHT NOW! (Read on …)

NH Attorney General Threatens Candidate Julia Miranda

1,995 People Control Your Life

Filed under: Activism, Business Freedom, Corruption, Economic Freedom, Essay, Hypocrisy, Issues, Personal Freedom, Rant, Thuggery — Ian at 9:58 am on Wednesday, August 29, 2007

TaxesYesterday approximately 20% (3,188) of Keene’s registered voters turned out to decide on a 33% more expensive Teachers’ Contract than the one that was voted down back in March. 62.5% (1,995) voted to approve the Teachers Contract. That’s a total of 12.4% of Keene’s registered voters who’ve decided that you’re going to be paying more in property taxes (or more in rent, if you don’t own).

How could you be against this? Do you hate teachers? Do you hate public schools?

Of course I don’t hate teachers. Education is very important. That is precisely why it needs to be taken out of the hands of government. Eating is important too. Would you want the government deciding what you can eat? Would you want government bureaucrats distributing food? If not, why would you want bureaucrats deciding what your kids should learn?

Hands down to hands-free

Filed under: Activism, Hypocrisy — Caleb at 10:44 pm on Monday, January 22, 2007

Cel PhoneOnce again the NH Legislature is showing its increasingly anti-freedom bent by trying to ban the use of handheld cellphones while driving.

The following paragraph is from www.stateline.org:

“A University of Utah study released in February found that 18- to 25-year-old drivers talking on a cell phone with a headset reacted as slowly as 65- to 74-year-old drivers without cell phones. Older drivers also reacted more slowly while talking on cell phone, the report said. Wireless phone companies, on the other hand, point to research that using a cell phone is among the least common distractions for drivers. A 2003 study funded by AAA found that fiddling with radio dials, eating and drinking, talking with passengers, grooming, reading and writing were more common activities for drivers than talking on a phone.”

Allow me to put this another way. (Read on …)
