Equlibrium. One of my favorite movies of all time and a movie with a message that changed my life.
The movie centers around a government enforcement agent in the future where everyone is forced to take medication to repress emotion. When the agent stops taking medication he begins to realize all the cruelty that he is inflicting on people. Once he realizes the cruelty that the government represents, he violently destroys it. The message, minus the violence (violence is the problem), is one that I wish every person who enforces government laws would absorb, reflect, and find metaphors for.
I too was a government agent doing cruel things to people. I wasn’t taking medication to repress emotion like in the movie… but I was led to believe that what I was doing was the right thing to do. Hurting someone is never the right thing to do.
TX police spend hours harvesting mint plants they mistook for marijuana, legal weed and prohibition, and it looks like fatties are the new smokers so let’s tax and vilanize them.
Keene’s Central Square was empty yesterday as the daily 420 celebrations have been moved to the beautiful Ashuelot park at West and Island St!
Celebration spokesman Rich Paul wouldn’t cite reasons for the venue change and encouraged readers to decide for themselves. Celebrants cleaning up some garbage in the park noticed the city’s cans were nearly overflowing! This has been a problem at other city parks in the past and is more proof that the violent monopoly can’t even handle the garbage. It would seem likely that the city’s janitors don’t work weekends and holidays, which are the times they are needed most!
George Donnelly has been doing FIJA outreach in Pennsylvania with activist Julian Heicklen and has recorded some amazing footage of government thugs threatening him. Today, they followed through on their threats. Video is not yet available due to the fact that no one has any idea where they have taken George. He was attacked by the uniformed gang members and taken away. The Examiner has the details.
By the way, FIJA activist Julian Heicklen will be doing an outreach in front of the federal courthouse in Concord this summer. Let’s get a nice big group of supporters out there! Keep an eye on the Free Keene Forum for details on when.
On his 5/1 edition of the “No State Project”, Marc Stevens gave moving to Keene a ringing endorsement! He said, “If I was going to move back to the East coast, I’d move to Keene.”, which was followed by his co-host JT saying, “absolutely, in a heartbeat. Never lived in the East coast, but that’s where I’d go, no doubt.”
Yet another corrupt sheriff has been busted selling drugs out of his police issued SUV, a UK man finds himself in hot water because a red white and blue sign is construed as racist, hair braiding and useless licensing, and Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoes anti-smoking bill that would have banned smoking from almost all public places in CA.
