"Naked Rambler" finally walks free, still refuses to wear clothes

http://www.bbc.co.uk

On his previous releases from prison, officers re-arrested him within 60 seconds, but not this time. Mr Gough welcomed the new police response: "My opinion is that the police have thought 'the guy's not going to give up so let's have a think about it'." Chief Insp Andy McCann said: "We have been working closely with our partners in law enforcement and the individual concerned in an effort to resolve this impasse. We hope that by exercising some discretion we can find a more satisfactory conclusion for all concerned."

Jury acquits man in case of two plants groing on his property

http://www.readthehook.com

With a majority of Americans now saying they don't think pot should be illegal, the prosecution demanded that the jury entertain no effort to practice nullification. Prior to opening arguments, the judge dismissed six potential jurors– including five of the first 13 interviewed– for revealing a disinclination or refusal to convict someone of pot possession.

Town Elects Cat

http://www.nbc-2.com

A cat named Stubbs has been the mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska for nearly all of his life.

It's been that way for more than a decade in the small tourist town that boasts nearly 900 residents.

The part-manx was named honorary mayor shortly after his birth, and now locals all know the cat as "Mayor Stubbs."

As the story goes, 15 years ago several of the town residents didn't like the candidates who were running for mayor of Talkeetna, so as a joke, they encouraged enough people to elect Stubbs the cat as a write-in candidate.

He won.

Peaceful Streets Project distributes 100 cameras to record police

http://austin.ynn.com

About 100 video cameras were handed out to volunteers who committed to record all police encounters they come across.

Peaceful Streets Project organizer Antonio Buehler said he hopes the project and summit will help a culture shift.

"One where the people don't have to live afraid of the police and they don't have to be afraid to stand up for their rights. One where bad cops get run out of their organizations by the good cops, and one where the chain of command and internal affairs and the system doesn't cover up the crimes of these criminal cops," Buehler said.

Stick It to the Man - Build an 'Earthship'

http://www.youtube.com

The home 'the man' does not want you to build: it has no cooling bill, no heating bill, no water bill, no electricity bill, no sewer bill and a reduced food bill.

Earthships are passive-solar, high thermal mass buildings made out of earth and recycled tires. They catch rainwater and use it 3 times. They grow food in biological cells that process graywater from the sinks. They capture solar heat and use thermal mass to stabilize temperature and require no heating or cooling. They produce their own electricity using the sun and wind.

Freedom this 4th of July!

http://www.allproudamericans.com

I myself am a patriot and love the ideas our founding fathers set in motion but just to be clear, I do not think this cartoon respects your heart nor your freedom when it depicts a person being chastised for exercising a right even if that right is unpopular. The rights of our country protect the minority from being beaten down from the majority because of what they may believe.

Red Light Cameras Suspended in New Jersey

http://www.nj.com

EDISON — It was the traffic ticket that put a despised multimillion-dollar state program in limbo. En route to a mall the day after Thanksgiving last year, Janice Bollmann was flagged by a red-light camera in Edison after getting through an intersection one-fifth of a second too late. Bollmann had no way of knowing what her routine traffic ticket would come to symbolize. "It may be the straw that broke the camel’s back," said Steve Carrellas, New Jersey representative of the National Motorists Association driving rights group, who assisted Bollmann in her case.

11 Excellent Reasons Not to Join the U.S. Military

http://www.scoop.co.nz

The military glorifies the giving and obeying of orders as somehow something good for its own sake, something called "discipline" or "character." I can't judge whether I have either of those things, but I do know the last place I would ever have thought to turn for a career was an institution in which I would have had to do what a bunch of mean bastards said to do simply because they said to do it. That wouldn’t have worked. I'd have ended up a conscientious objector even in peace time.
