I was about to sell it under the name "free thinker" but when I showed it to him, he told me it was dangerous.
My interpretation of anarchy is no chaos. It is "no god nor master".
It has a peace sign inside the hoodie! :)
Armeria maritima. Clustog Fair.
Armeria maritima. Thrift. The Welsh name translates as: Marys' Pillow.
The sign warns of the financial cost of trespassing on the railway line... The freethinkers among you will realize that the sign cannot enforce what it says... However, if you were to trespass on the line; you would soon come across the mangled body, of some fleet footed creature, that did not make it, across 4 feet 8 1⁄2 inches of track! People think they will see or hear a train a coming... No.
If the train driver sees you, anywhere near the track, they will sound the horn, in panic, as that is all they can do. At 70 mph a diesel trains stopping distance is 816 meters (408 meters using an emergency brake application) compared to a car, which takes 75 meters to stop (96 meters with the thinking time).

A trip to the tiny Hill Country town of Sisterdale, about an hour northwest of San Antonio. Founded in the mid-1800's by German Freethinkers, Sisterdale is just a couple of houses and businesses along the side of the road with just a few dozen residents. The main attraction to the town is the Sister Creek Winery, located in the old cotton gin. Pictures taken Spring 2008. I plan on adding more detailed descriptions in the future.
Tim Minchin addresses the crowd between songs. Here, he gives an intro to the song "Thank you God for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum."
FFRF was a big donor to the Reason Rally and helped fund acts like Tim Minchin. Join FFRF today!
The Reason Rally took place on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Saturday, March 24, 2012. It was sponsored by many of the country’s largest and most influential secular organizations.
An ad from the American Humanist Assocation noting that Barack Obama, though now a Christian, grew up in a non-religious household. (Via PZ Myers.)
The headline: "President Obama: Living proof that family values without religion build character," with supporting quotes from Obama's book The Audacity of Hope. Some people are gonna get steamed over this one, I'm sure.

The Lodge Plzen hall building is an architecturally significant expression of Czech-American Romanticism in early twentieth century Nebraska, manifest as a distinct vernacular product of the Renaissance Revival style. Significant ethnic associations are evident in the membership of Rad Plzen, charter lodge number 9 of the Zapadni Cesko Bratrske Jednoty (now Western Fraternal Life Association), and with the contractor, mason and carpenter credited with the building's design and construction.
Lodge Plzen was first organized on June 6, 1880 as Lodge number 63 of the Cesko-Sloverisky Podporujici Spolek (C.S.P.S.). Shortly thereafter a frame hall was built on Spring Creek south of Morse Bluff. When the Lodge reorganized in 1897 as part of the newly-formed Z.C.B.J., the hall was moved into Morse Bluff to lot 14 of Block 6, where it was used both as Town Hall and Lodge Hall. When the city built its new hall in 1909, the lodge also started the planning of a new hall (the present structure), which was completed in 1911.
Czechs from Bohemia and Moravia form one of the prominent immigrant groups in Nebraska, more having settled here than all of the other Great Plains states combined. By 1920 over 140,000 Czechs had settled the Great Plains, accounting for more than 22 percent of the Czech-speaking population of the United States. Of these, 40.3 percent lived in Nebraska.
Of all the European immigrant groups that settled the Plains, the Czechs were the only among them whom were a majority of freethinkers, that is, those who had severed all ties with organized religion. As many as 55 percent of the Czechs called themselves freethinkers. The intellectual origins of freethought lies in the European Enlightenment, eventually providing a basis for the Czech National Revival of the second half of the nineteenth century.
The growth of Czech freethought on the Great Plains was fostered primarily through voluntary fraternal and benevolent associations.

From 1845 to 1861, a number of German Freidenker ("Freethinkers") immigrated to Texas hill country. Freethinkers were German intellectuals who advocated reason and democracy over religious and political authoritarianism. Many had participated in the 1848 German revolution and sought freedom in America. The Freidenker helped establish Bettina, Castell, Cypress Mill, Luckenbach, Sisterdale, Tusculum (Boerne) and Comfort. Laid out in 1854, Comfort soon was home to about half the population of hill country Freethinkers.
Freethinkers valued their newfound freedoms of speech, assembly and religion, their settlements, where a knowledge of Latin was considered essential for a cultured intellectual society, became known as "Latin colonies, ' they strongly supported secular education and generally did not adhere to any formal religious doctrines. They applied themselves to the crafts of physical labor and divided their time between farming and intellectual pursuits.
Freethinkers advocated universal equal rights, and their moral values were dominated by their respect for life. They actively supported such social issues as the abolition of slavery and the rejection of secession. Their loyalty to the union during the Civil War cost many their freedoms and their lives. Following the war, many freethinkers relocated to nearby urban areas, while others returned to Germany. (2000) (Marker No. 11673)
