Get a clue. Free State Project participants are NOT “conservative”, nor are they “liberal”. We love liberty.
The Free Staters that I know all support ending the insane war on drugs. They are LGBT-friendly (or actually LGBT). They are anti-war. Are those “conservative” positions?
If you love liberty, meaning the freedom to live your life as you wish, so long as you don’t harm others, then you should join the Free State Project. However, if you’re a “conservative” that wants to control people’s sex lives or what they put in their bodies, then you won’t fit in. You should stay where you are.
First it was Time Warner announcing Wideband speeds and now Verizon has launched 4G service in Keene! The bandwidth in town just keeps getting better – hooray for competition!
A test earlier today with the free SpeedTest app resulted in typical 4G speeds, 15mbps down and about 10mbps up from Main St. in Keene.
UPDATE: User claims US Cellular has had 4G for months in Keene
Editor’s note: This is the last in a series exploring the Free State Project. This week, we look at what the future holds for the Free State movement.
The logo of the Free State Project includes a crudely drawn image of a porcupine, a symbol that became part of the movement’s iconography after an online vote by early project participants.
The porcupine won out over more conventional symbols of liberty, such as the “Don’t Tread on Me” snake, menacing and coiled, depicted in the early American flag designed by Gen. Christopher Gadsden.
According to the Free State Project’s website, the porcupine was chosen by popular vote of its members because something more original and “public relations-friendly” was desired to emphasize the “freshness” of the movement’s approach.
“Porcupines are cute and nonaggressive, but you certainly don’t want to step on them,” explains the official literature of the organization.
There’s little doubt that the Free State Project has established a foothold in New Hampshire. (more…)
Still more footage of KPD’s Ken Meola behaving poorly towards Dave Ridley. Ridley also suggests I am “passive aggressive” and that I’ve wasted my time having breakfast with people like Ken. I disagree that it’s time wasted conversing in a humane manner with government workers and politicians. Ridley may be angry, but I am generally not. If I find myself angry, I’ll do my best to admit it, and work on shifting to better feelings. As usual, when someone accuses me of being “passive aggressive”, I think that’s just projection on their part. Ridley wants me to be angry for him, because he feels, perhaps, as though he would be angry in the situations in question.
I’m long past being angry at the government guys. They are just humans doing the wrong thing by aggressing against their peaceful neighbors. Everyone can change – I know I have. Here’s Ridley’s report:
Well, the good news is the Cynthia Chase story that we broke here at Free Keene has gone national in a big way, with Breitbart and Rush Limbaugh picking up the story.
