Today I chalked a hopscotch on the sidewalk in front of the bitcoin booth. The first person to enjoy it was a man in his 60’s who asked, “May I?” before hopping along with the pattern. Children and adults alike opted to jump through the chalk squares. For about twenty minutes.
Laurie, the woman who appears to be in charge of the vendors at Cheshire County Fair, came over to me and told me that it had to go. She said that we can’t have children slowing down the foot traffic. She also informed me that we were “already on probation” because of our previous violations (stepping out of our booth to meet people who were walking over to talk to us, wearing a gun, and not wearing a shirt). She later returned and poured water on the chalk.
We got this idea from the Republican tent, who drew a hopscotch with chalk on Wednesday. On Thursday it rained, and the chalk was erased. Ian has chalk in his backpack, so when I heard about this idea, I used his chalk to make my own hopscotch.
Apparently, when we do it, it’s a problem. But just to show they weren’t discriminating, they also shut down the Republicans today.

Revolutions historically occur when the middle class fights the rich ‘aristocracy’ for who gets to enslave the poor. Right now the stock market is at record highs, home prices are moving up and the middle class is quite comfortable. Middle class has no immediate financial interest to fight the rich at this time. In fact, they are firmly allied with the rich. That could change over the next 10 years however. Any revolution for the USA in 2013 simply will not work and is poorly timed. I know the revolutionaries will be saddened by this, but its the truth. Revolutionaries… Read more »
Please don’t take this personally but that is the most ignorant thing I’ve read in a long time. You say the stock market is at record highs? Yes, that’s because the dollar is at record lows. The “stock market,” to the extent it has a height, is just the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500. Those are distraction numbers, measured in dollars, and as the dollar falls, the numbers grow. It’s not good, it’s not an indicator of economic health, and it’s definitely no indicator of middle-class affluence, since most people are not owners of DJIA or S&P… Read more »
At the end of 2012, the average American household wealth is $550,000+/- according to the St Louis Fed.
This $550,000 number is rising not falling.
American households are working and spending. I see a strong economy everywhere I travel.
No revolution will occur when households are this wealthy.
Put away your AK-47.
There is no way that the average American household income is $550k per year. You sound like an idiot.
Surprised by $550k eh? You’re surprised because you are out of touch.
$550k is the real number, look it up.
Australian household wealth is at record highs. That news came out yesterday. Good news like this isnt typically reported on liberty websites, thats why I am telling you here.
You better read some real financial news sites based in reality and stop getting your news from Mary Poppins sites like Alex Jones and other negative biased websites.
OK one of two things are happening here. Either you are talking about mean income as opposed to median income or you meant median but put the word average down.
We don’t measure mean you incomes because those numbers are meaningless. You either know this and are being disingenuous or you don’t know this and have no business commenting on these matters.
For the record the median household income in the United States from 2007-2011 (newest numbers I could find) was ~52k. You are an order or magnitude off here.
See, you misread what was posted and resorted to namecalling because of your mistake.
I didnt say “Household Income” ” i said “Household Wealth” …

OK first off, I did not call you an idiot, I said you sound like an idiot.
Second, you have the same problem, you are using mean numbers instead is median. If you look at the median numbers you would see that those numbers are just under 120k and that includes home equity. Those numbers are down significantly since 2001.
Back to my opening point about the class war ingredients needed for a revolution of: the middle class finds a need to fight the rich. Stagnant income statistics are not motivation for war with the rich. High household affluence statistics are in no way motivation for a class war either. In fact, its the opposite motivation for class peace. This is why Kokesh event was an epic fail with no attendees. There is no motivation whatsoever for the masses to enjoin a class war at this time. The only people that seem to want a class war at this time… Read more »
Ha ha, okay, now I know where you’re coming from. You say I need to get my information from the mayor of New York and the Federal Reserve Bank. Thanks for revealing your true intents, you statist shill. I hope you get paid before they read this and see what a poor job you’re doing.
How did the gun march work out for ya?
Even the libertarians didnt show up.

This is incorrect. Please see what we did in Denver we led a standoff against police, won and gained access to capitol steps. We demanded revolution. No one is covering us because police backed down. Talk to me, I’ll tell ya everything that happened. Also, view Ustream Channels Voluntary TV, and Starrstream, both of which caught us on film(Voluntary TV was our official Ustream, Starrstream was with restore the fourth. Please please please see video!!!!!!!!! A woman with Restore the Fourth was run over (on foot) by police motorcycle later on, and then arrested, man tipped motorcycle over, ran away… Read more »
