Lance on Regulation
"I've been reading some of the political content at freedom2008.com, and find it damn interesting.
"I am nominally a Democrat, but have never been seriously politically active, mainly because I'm fed up with a lot of what the major parties say and do. ...you could say I'm looking for an intelligent alternative.
"I'm not ready to declare myself a Libertarian, but your site piques me and makes me think. And that's (at least) half the battle.
"Very interesting."
-- Kurt B.,
Allentown, Pa.
"Wow I am amazed and joyous! Your views are just what
this country needs! I am going to spread the word about your campaign."
--
Elizabeth
Ward
"I read every article posted on your site and was amazed to find myself repeatedly saying 'Wow, I agree with that.'"
"I'm pro-Lance as long as I'm not also running for prez" -
-- Mojo Nixon, entertainer and revolutionary
"You are probably this country's last chance at
freedom in this lifetime."
-- ¡Obay!
"I stumbled upon your website and it is
WONDERFUL. You can count on MY VOTE and MY SUPPORT in 2008!!!"
-- Alan Handleman,
Grayson, KY
"This is the blog belonging to my former boss and aspiring President of the United States. I remain pledged to moving to Ireland if he actually wins but still it's an interesting site."
-- Adam Graham,
Boise, Idaho
"I just want to take a minute to tell you that we
really do appreciate your writing over here. I find the state of this country so outrageous that I mostly sit around pulling my hair out and fantasizing about Canada. But, incredibly, you don't stew! It's like you're on a whole other plane.
"It's so easy to lose sight of reality with all that glare from the fancy magic show illusions of our 'two' party system. Seriously. Your message is hopeful and real."
-- Kristen Werner,
Rollinsford, N.H.
March 17, 2003Action Works: No More "G.I. Easter Bunny Baskets"Here's a great little story about how taking action can make a difference: Our local K-Mart was selling Easter baskets with a "G.I." theme, including soldier dolls, toy guns, "Warheads" candy, etc.. Apparently lots of retailers around the nation sell these things, which are distributed as part of a bigger package from a company called MegaToys. Well, people around here don't take the militarization of children lightly, and Joanna Robinson (wife of the much-lauded Utah Phillips) caused a ruckus in K-Mart when she discovered these baskets. Despite pleas from store management and police to leave peacefully, she stood her ground and got arrested for trespassing and disturbing business. Word about something like that travels quick through peace-laden Nevada County, and there were major protests at K-Mart the next day. And K-Mart felt the pressure and declared that they wouldn't restock the G.I. Easter baskets. It's that simple folks. Action works. Try it yourself sometime. I must admit, I spent a fair amount of time playing with toy guns and soldiers when I was a kid, and it didn't turn me into a shooter or warmonger, but Utah made the case against the baskets pretty well I think: "The biggest oxymoron going on now is war toys," folksinger Utah Philipps said. "What is war? War is sticking a bayonnet into people, we've been through all of this. It's the most awful thing that can happen. And what is a toy? A toy is to have fun with, to amuse yourself. Why are we telling our children that you can have fun with war? It's not a game. We have to pull these two words apart, hang on to the toys and no more war." For more information on the G.I. Bunny controversy, read Full Metal Bonnet in the Village Voice. Posted by Lance Brown at March 17, 2003 11:59 PM | TrackBackComments
