I’m attaching scans of the concepts sketches from when I was designing the anarchy boogeyman. The idea was for him to represent this concept of anarchy that was so scary because it was just very different that what we’d been indoctrinated into. That’s why his parts are all mixed up. He’s gold and black to represent the colors of market anarchy. That’s why he has spots. They’re easy to draw and an easy way to add the black.
I was following a formula for cuteness that I’d read about for cartoon characters. You give them big, wide-set eyes and make them pudgy with short limbs. When I did that at first, he looked way too much like Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants, so to make him distinctively different, I rounded his head. You can see the progression in the concept sketch.
Robin Hood paid a visit to downtown Keene this week and came to the rescue of some individuals whose parking meter had expired, saving them from the clutches of the Meter Maid!

Our will is what defines us as living. It’s what makes us critically different from dead inanimate objects, e.g. a rock has no will of it’s own. To the extent that you take away or restrict a person’s will and expression of self, you’re killing that person. I’ve been talking about slavery in very cold and hard terms, and if I communicated my views well, then you probably find it rather depressing. Well I don’t mean to be. Unfortunately, there’s just no delicate way to tell someone a hard truth like that. Fortunately, knowledge is power and you have to know the truth before you can deal with it.
The gay rights movement was onto something with the slogan “Silence Equals Death”. To be threatened with punishment for fully living your life as your innate will would have you live it is akin to being suffocated. Perhaps that sense of suffocation is simply more overt amongst gay and lesbian people by virtue of having a non-typical internal will more at odds with societal standards. In that sense, it can be seen as a gift, in the same way that sensitivity to pain was likely a beneficial mutation for some of the earliest creatures to evolve nervous systems for reacting to dangers in their environment. It’s why the coming out process is such a relief and so empowering. It’s like being alive and gulping in deep breaths after feeling suffocated.
Liberty activists called WKBK’s Talkback Saturday morning and discussed parks, pensions, withholding property taxes, tax sales, Ed Brown, government aggression, using the system, and leaving the country. Listen to Cynthia’s cognitive dissonance as she rejects the idea that government would throw a tax protester from their home and later admits she just “goes along to get along”.

On Nov. 14, authorities at Keene District Court ordered documentary videographer Tom Caruso to shut off his camera – and keep it off. They were just four minutes into a trial he drove four *hours* to film. No acceptable explanation was provided.
I know some of the court operatives and personally like them. But like them or not, they should not be able to draw a veil of secrecy around their public proceedings. You have a right to know what they’re doing with your money. You have a right to know how it looks.
In protest of their partial censorship, I’ve informed KDC authorities I will respectfully attempt to enter the courtroom around 8:00 a.m. on March 3. I’ll have a video camera, and I will *not* shut it off. Not without an acceptable reason. I’ll film the trial of Gandhi-emulating marijuana activist Andrew Carroll in an appropriate, comprehensive manner, or be arrested.

A month and a half after THIS GRIEVANCE was filed to the NH Judicial Conduct Committee, the committee found that Judge Burke was not in violation of the NH Judicial Code of Conduct when he famously arrested Ian Freeman for not sitting in the courtroom.
Burke allowed prejudice due to prior events dictate his action in the courtroom that day. He had a meeting, and a plan, with the sheriffs in the courtroom to arrest anyone not standing. He made it clear that what he was doing to Ian was because of the cameras. That is letting the press and public attention affect his actions, and is against the rules of a supposedly impartial judge. Who thinks that judges are an impartial mediator between police and citizens? Next time you think that, check the courtroom for who is allowed to have the guns.
