[originally posted to FreeKeene.com] Neighbors helping neighbors makes for strong communities :) That was the text included on the bottom of the quarter-page flyer distributed to houses in the neighborhood ten days ago inviting people to attend and contribute items to a yardsale held yesterday. And it’s what motivated me to be involved in the [...]

On Civil Disobedience: A Conversation from Liberty Forum 2012
The edited video of the civil disobedience panel held at the 2012 Liberty Forum, in which me, Ian Freeman & Jason Talley converse with those present about ideas, strategy and impact. It was recorded on Friday, Feb. 24th, 2012 at the Nashua, NH Crown Plaza. Do you have thoughts on the content discussed? Points where [...]
Mark Ames: A Rebuttal
Last week I learned that a guy named Mark Ames wrote a hit piece on Nation.com that attempted to link a number of disparate individuals and events in a Koch-backed conspiracy targeting current TSA policies. Ames singled-out such folks as John Tyner III, Meg McLain, George Donnelly and myself and pointed to circumstantial evidence, omissions [...]
Billion Dollar Company Taps Individual Charity
BOULDER, CO – Most of us know that if you want a fast, healthy meal for a reasonable price you can head to Panera, but what about getting the same meal for a suggested price? That’s the business model at one of their locations in St. Louis and it seems to be working quite well. [...]
Hiking Through
FINDLAY, OH – A couple of months back I read Hiking Through: Finding Peace and Freedom on the Appalachian Trail by Paul V. Stutzman – a book given to me by my folks for Xmas. As someone who values independence, self-sufficiency and goals that are both mental and physical I was excited to dig in. [...]
The Tax Dilemma
JACKSON, WI – A couple of weeks back I saw that a friend had linked to a video and thought it was pretty damn cool. Not due to the content necessarily but because it used another technique to entertain and convey ideas – stop animation. Since I’ve been chewing on ways to better introduce the [...]
Changing Windshield Wipers & Minds
ARLINGTON, VA – A few days ago we bought a pair of replacement windshield wipers for Allie’s Focus as those currently on the vehicle weren’t doing their job. I was about to swap them out today but thought about how often folks turn to YouTube for research (i.e. car shopping) and instruction (i.e. home repairs). [...]
“I Pledge” to Advocate You Watch Young Americans for Liberty Video
ARLINGTON, VA – I’m a bit embarrassed to admit but I just watched the “I Pledge” video (released three months ago) from the Young Americans for Liberty for my first time. I blame being so busy with the Motorhome Diaries at the time to have watched it, but needless to say, it was damn solid [...]
Capitalism Fostering Civil Society
This past weekend my girl and I went to the Lost Dog Cafe. It was only my second time there (her first) and its unique background make it worthy of a blog post. The restaurant was named not to appeal to lonely, hungry masochists, but to our four-legged friends looking for permanent homes. Revenue from [...]
Anarchy Hour
After work a few weeks ago a couple of friends and I met over drinks to discuss political philosophy and to strategize on how to best sell the freedin message in the world of ideas. It was the first Anarchy Hour. The purpose of the Anarchy Hour is to facilitate discussion and networking between self-described [...]
