5 days after submitting a request for a room change, Jesse steals a black pen from me.

“Well do you need it?”
That is the question of a socialist–a thief! Someone who does not respect property rights, has no notion of earned wealth or labor. He lives dependent on a structure where others provide for his needs. At the cost of 50 cents, I have seen into the workings of a physically strong but morally weak man. (more…)

O.C. spray was used this morning. Down stairs I hear coughing. I was awoken by a scream.

Today was very different from what I expected. I was awoken by the sound of screaming. I went back to sleep only to be awoken half an hour later by jailer Embry at 5:30 am.
“Mr. Horton, you’re going to be in the kitchen today. When you come out here, your nose might burn a little bit. O.C. spray was just used about a half hour ago.” (more…)
Many people support keeping third parties off the ballot, presumably because they know how much of a threat extra choices are to the establishment. Currently the LP is involved in a petition drive to secure party-wide ballot access. 13,000 signatures are required. However, if successful, it only lasts for this year’s election… UNLESS a statewide candidate from the LP receives at least 4% of the vote, which has never happened.

As you may have seen in my last post, Greyhound services will stay in Keene. Part of the news report from the Sentinel said that it was due to them coming to an agreement with the Vermont DOT. Turns out that the agreement in question was regarding a subsidy.
Yes, Greyhound is apparently now a government funded operation. Actually, this probably isn’t the first time they have taken money from the state. I am curious as to how many of their routes are subsidized.
It is hard to blame them. Businesses in the transportation industry are heavily regulated, so it is understandable why one would take a subsidy if it were available, though strings are likely attached.
More state involvement leads to further state involvement. Ugh.
