Here’s the story from the Sentinel’s Kyle Jarvis where Kohl’s would like to open a store in the old Sears building – creating jobs for Keene inhabitants. Meanwhile, the city screws up some of its own bureaucratic process and has to delay its own hearing where Kohl’s is to beg for a waiver. The Sentinel reports that city code prohibits uplighting. Gosh, we wouldn’t want you to be able to use lights to design things to make your business more attractive! And don’t you DARE paint your building anything bright and fun – this is New England – everything here must be drab, dull, and made of brick!
This is one among many provisions called “zoning” or “regulations” where a group of people calling themselves government – or “the Keene planning board” deem to tell you what you can and can’t do with something you paid for – or else they will send men with guns after you. I’d like to be able to say, “No thanks” as I’d rather not use their planning services. Yet I am the “radical” for wanting peace. Kohl’s should be able to open their store without having to ask permission – and so should you.

During the trial of the Trespassive Three who were charged with the dastardly crime of Criminal Trespass for refusing to end a protest at the appointed hour, the State and it’s minions made some pretty ludicrous statements.

There were however a few statements that I believe warrant a closer examination.
