Freedom is not just the ability to buy whatever you want online at Amazon.com . Freedom is not just the ability to watch 150 channels on TV. Freedom is the ability to read any material on any subject without being put on a government watch list. Freedom is the ability to express your personal viewpoint even if it opposes the current regime. Freedom is the right to take pictures of buildings and bridges without Homeland Security knocking on your door.
Wake up! Stop being a consumer and start being an activist.

The national ID card has been passed and will take effect in May of 2008 unless we as Americans stand up for our rights. Citizens will not be able to board an Amtrak train, perform banking transactions or enter a Federal building without a national ID card.
What is the meaning behind the requirement that the new ID card must have “A common machine-readable technology, with defined minimum data elements.” ? This portion smacks of numbering of citizens. This is beginning to sound like those black and white war-era movies where the secret police stop people anywhere and ask “Where are your papers?” .

The sweetest song is silence
That I’ve ever heard
Funny how your feet in dreams
Never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night, I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it’s cold outside
Every moment I’m awake, the further I’m away
“These Dreams” - Heart

I don’t have any pictures of my own. Though there were some people taking photos. This first batch is from Ankara, a Subgenius that I met at the event. He was really cool and his camp shared their food with me. Very good cheeseburger. Thanks. http://picasaweb.google.com/ankaraenator/Xday9

The roads and bridges in Central New York were inundated with thousands of gallons of muddy water. My road trip was cut short and I have had to cancel my plans. I am going to wait a couple days until the rivers crest and the water subsides.
What a freak accident. Talk about bad luck. I have been planning this trip for months and the one highway that goes west through southern New York is impassable. I will have to drive hours out of my way to get around the devastation. I count my blessings that I am safe and my car is OK.

I’m heading out in a few minutes for the big festival in Southwestern New York. The drive will take about 8 hours with stops for refueling and refreshments. Have a great Fourth of July.
