I like to hang around during office hours with the staff of Jeanne Shaheen the US Senator. I may be one of the local “businessmen” who uses government for my own benefit. Do you know anything about me? Please share your information in a comment below.
In unrelated news, Shaheen has updated office hours, and she apparently doesn’t want to hear from Keene. The closest location to share your concerns is now over an hour away.
Here’s the video containing Cassidy’s arrest for being female and topless in public. There are several videos of the scene in addition to this and all of them can be found on Free Keene Live.

Seeing the trenchant prose of Friedrich Nietzsche disrespectfully spray-painted on a church building, coupled with
anarchy symbols and clichéd atheist mantras, left this particular Nietzschean anarchist with a bad taste in his mouth.
With no actual knowledge of Nietzschean or anarchist philosophy to stop them – and plenty of angst to aid them – the vandals have made nothing but fools of themselves, even amongst fellow anarchists, atheists, and Nietzsche fans.
The famous, and usually misunderstood, quote “God is dead” is not, as our vandals seem to think, a criticism of the concept of God and any ethics derived therefrom, as much as it is a challenge to the atheists of the world, to the godless, whose value system is inherently nihilistic. This nihilism is something that Nietzsche believes must be overcome (and he died trying to do it). He believed the atheist must struggle, in a world without God, to create his own values and find his own meaning. Thus Zarathustra, the character who speaks the famous quote, goes on to say that we, after killing God as a source of value, must “become Gods ourselves…” In other words, we must become the source of our own values.
(FYI-those girls in the pic don’t live in Keene, and are actually wearing pasties. Click for the full version.) Apparently just having some ladies discuss the idea of a liberty event wherein women and men would go topless in public has already begun the next activist “schism”. If you’ve been paying close attention to the movement for a while, you’ll recall the first “schism” was between the politcos and the agorists. There was much forum drama, but the end result was that another forum was born, and the agorists (outside-the-system activists) had a place of their own. Most people still get along just fine, and many still mix their activism between both worlds, but there was much drama and sometimes it still raises its head.
This time, the ideological split is between the sexist prudes and their apologists (it’s not fair of me to call the apologists prudes – some claim to not be) and the freethinkers or as we have been labeled, by the apologists, “libertines”.
A single forum post was all it took (more…)

It was suggested that I be more tactful in my criticism of minarchy, so I took it into consideration… for about 4 and a half seconds.
