Over the last two years since the launch of the Reasons to Move to Keene page here at Free Keene, the list has expanded by over 30%! We started with 100 reasons in 2008, expanded to 111 in 2009, and now have over 130! Last year a bunch of new activism was added to the list and this year in addition to new activism, an entire section has been added to list regular social events you can attend and some of the community involvement of activists in the area. If you spot a mistake or think of something we should add, please post to this thread on the Free Keene Forum.
A bunch of liberty-minded people called “Talkback” on WKBK last week to discuss noncooperation, fearing neighbors, micromanaging, blindly enforcing “the law”, police abuse, Eli Rivera, customer service, dumpster regulations, cost cutting, and property taxes. Cynthia and Nat get very frustrated with principled, peaceful people calling in. Their cognitive dissonance is very heavy. You’ll hear lots of defending institutionalized violence by the statist callers and hosts. Plus Nat gets particularly uncomfortable and starts laying down all kinds of new rules as far as what types of calls he thinks Talkback should accept. Finally, the smooth professional bureaucrat swoops in to rescue the part-time city councilors! Listen as Keene city manager John MacLean just happens to drop by the studio in a clear attempt to assist Cynthia and Nat in handling the unusual amount of logical, compassionate voices of liberty activists calling in. This is an epic episode.
Do you love liberty and live, work in, visit, or plan to move to the Keene area? If so, it would be great for you to get involved with this project each week. Here’s how you can help:
Please join us for our weekly chat and calling sessions on Saturday mornings from 9a-12p in the Liberty Radio Network Chat room. If you’re online, you can listen to Talkback streamed live via the Liberty Radio Network and if you’re in the Keene area you can tune in to WKBK 1290 AM or 104.1 FM. The Talkback discussion thread is here on the Free Keene Forum.
No arrests at today’s 420 in Nashua, but they did threaten arrests for “disorderly conduct” over using megaphones. Sounds like it’s time for Megaphone Day in Nashua! Here are the videos, thanks to Bill Dominico:

Dale and I went out to hold the Free Keene banner outside Keene high school and Dave Ridley was there to cover it. It’s too bad he didn’t come out for the second one, as we had several young people out with us including at least a couple KHS students. This event will be weekly on Fridays at 2pm in front of KHS until further notice. Check the Calendar for more stuff to do.
In many places, there will be an elaborate ritual known as an election which is used as a rather contrived justification for committing violence against innocent people. November 3rd is the date chosen by those who partake in this rather disturbing religious practice. If you’re apolitical like myself, you may feel like this day is nothing special. You’re right, but knowing that many people will be using this day to reinforce their deadly delusions, I think it’s an excellent opportunity to present them with a peaceful and rational alternative that they’ve been sheltered from for most of their lives.
I’ll be handing out fliers at one of my local polling places and I encourage others to do the same. Please feel free to download and print them out using the links provided. Also feel free to modify them to suit your particular message. There is a list of websites on the last page to go to for more information. You may have a different list in mind. I like to say “Peaceful alternatives to politics” to people as they approach and I try not to shove the flier at them in an aggressive way but rather hold it up to inspire their curiosity. Your methods may differ.
I’ve also added a new design to the Anarchy In Your Head store if you’d like to have a shirt to wear for the occasion. Just click the “Peace Not Politics” image in this post to visit the store.
