In September 2010 there will be primary elections for the United States House of Representatives and 1/3 of the Senate. There are many of these politicians who do not face an opponent in their primary. They need not spend any money to win their party's nomination. They need face no questions when there is still a chance to knock them from their thrones.

I wasn't able to travel to Washington, D.C. to attend the taxpayer protest march today. I was already committed to volunteering in my town to help create a public park. I spent the morning in the rain clearing paths of overgrown weeds. I'm watching the c-span coverage of the event now, and there sure does look like a lot of people there. When I search google news, there are not as many articles on the event as one would expect if say, there were a couple of hundred people demonstrating in support of Obama's health care plan.

I know the evils of RFID. I've been to protests against embedding RFID into drivers licenses, I know that the RFID embedded in US Passports was hacked before they managed to roll out production, and if you have one, you should keep it shielded lest some RFID reader hooked up to a nefarious device senses you walking by. I know that people worry that everything will eventually have an RFID chip in it and they worry about how trackable they become because of it.

I am a bit (this may qualify as something of an understatement) lax in blogging. Since I've started spending $2 bills with the website stamped on them again, I figured this was due for at least SOME new content.

I've been asking people to move to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project. We've had over 300 move to New Hampshire and we're starting to see some results.

Even at the dawn of our country, there was disagreement about the best form of government to be implemented in the new United States of America. There were those who advocated a strong central government, and those who wanted a weak central government, holding the power closer to the people. Since then, the trend has been like a whirlpool. We go around a few times, but as time wears on, we head down and toward the center.
