Md. Guard Issues Warning to Staff about Local TEA Party Protestors - Southern Maryland Headline News

Md. Guard Issues Warning to Staff about Local TEA Party Protestors - Southern Maryland Headline News: "CALLAWAY, Md. (April 15, 2009) - A document issued by the Maryland National Guard on April 9 warns full-time Guard personnel to be aware of threats from local citizens protesting income taxes during grass roots events known as TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Parties -- one of which was held on Solomons Island March 22."

It is amazing how peaceful dissent upsets them so much. I don't consider myself on the left or right. I oppose our governments. I oppose taxation. I believe in a government that is completely funded by user fees and voluntary contributions. I hope that one day there will be no need for a government. But I don't support using violence. Our Federal Government murders people who have done it no harm. Our governments are reckless with our lives. Violence is the tool of the State.

Former opera singer completes North Pole Marathon - Telegraph

Former opera singer completes North Pole Marathon - Telegraph: "Ted Jackson, 36, completed the race in nine and a half hours, finishing 26th out of 38 runners."

After reading the other day that the death count is higher in triathlons than marathons, I remarked that people who just run marathons are pussies. However, that insult does not apply to the people who participated in this marathon.
