Freedom: Now More Than Just A Word--Only $19.95 plus s+h

It is often asked, "What is this thing called 'freedom'?" Freedom to me means being able to do whatever I want with impunity as long as I do no harm to others.

Presidential Candidate Ron Paul says tyranny is ancient, and that by comparison America and its ideals are brand new. I am deeply troubled by the authoritarian direction in which my country seems headed. I deeply fear that the very ideals of freedom and liberty our country was founded on will be used and abused by those, too pessimistic of the soul of humanity to persevere, to institute a totalitarianism even the Nazis would shudder to think of, a depotism those who fancy dictatorship in 'less free' countries would never dream of. Those familiar with Alex Jones's work know what I'm talking about.

This is why I play my little role as a cog in the wheel of righteousness (as opposed to 'self-righteousness') by doing what I can for my second family at Seattle Hempfest. I don't think I could ever be a part of a group that loves me as unconditionally as these folks do. Though a lazy stoner never doing as much for the cause as I wish I could, I will be down at Myrtle Edwards Park this weekend (18-19-AUG-2007) to do what I can to turn the tide. Please join me between 10am and 7pm on those days.

P.S. Alex Jones, please be nice to Michael, he plays the "Bush is an idiot" card because no one would take his films seriously, he never talks about the "hardcore 9/11 issues" because it would be easier for news outlets like the Nazi-sympathizers at Fox to portray him as at the fringes of the political spectrum. That "wouldn't be American" as he has explained plainly to you. He wants the mainstream like you do. Kiss n' make up for fuck's sake.
