Welcome to our newest blogger, Yadra!

FreeKeene.com welcomes Yadra H. Voat as our newest blogger. Read about our other bloggers here. Here’s his bio:

Yadra H. VoatYadra H. Voat – Yadra moved to Keene in March 2009, in-time for the New Hampshire Liberty Forum. He prefers to work as an “I hope I’m right” kind of voluntarist in the same way that Mark Edge is an “I hope I’m wrong” kind of minarchist. When inquired of regarding his unusual name, Yadra likes to ask people “how often is Mark Twain remembered as Samuel Clemens?” He has observed that all moral actions among beings of equal moral nature are voluntary but not all voluntary actions are moral. Most people and Yadra already agree on most subjects, they just don’t realize it yet.

Sing That Freedom Song!

SING THAT FREEDOM SONG!

To convey our message to the population,
Oftentimes complex ideas take too long.
The news will air some puzzling truncation.
Say it briefly and with beauty in a song!

TV soundbytes are perceived as so much blather,
And will be reacted to dismissively.
The viewers of the nightly news would rather
Absorb new thoughts with rhyme and melody.

We can faintly hear the chimes of freedom ringing
While establishing our frisky form of order,
But if we don’t find our voice and get to singing,
This project won’t project beyond the border.

Shouting vicious insults, making threats, and ranting
Won’t reflect repute as reasoned paragons.
Neither will the weak resort to mindless chanting
Like obsequious tea-party neocons. (more…)

Free Keene Blogger Imprisoned over License Plate

JoshOur blogger and NH native Josh “Vesuvius” Kern has been imprisoned in the Rockingham “house of corrections” for five days for a crime that has no victim. He had a license plate on a different car and refused to pay the state’s extraction, so they threw him in a cage. Here’s the Porc 411 with details, thanks to Brad Jardis.

Forum discussion of this is here.

You can write him, but better do it fast to get it there before the five days is out:
