Surviving Terrorism, by Jarret Wollstein
A comprehensive guide loaded with practical information on surviving terror, in the form of terrorist attacks and the attacks of the American government on liberties in response to terrorism. Lots of informational nuggets -- for example, it's illegal to transport prescription medications in anything but the original containers -- make it immediately helpful. Resources are plentiful, the appendices invaluable.

Why Freedom, by Jason A. Junge
A thought-provoking treatment of freedom that brings a pragmatic approach to its abstract philosophical roots. Wide-ranging sources and controversial assertions will likely set you to rethinking at least some of your views on liberty.

From the Way Back Machine: Lovely Lady Liberty
Who among us hasn't seen her, if not in person then in a movie, magazine, or political cartoon? Does any American fail to be moved by the sight or mention of the Statue of Liberty? She's the epitome of what America is supposed to be -- a beacon of freedom for individuals worldwide. In August of 1884, the cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty was laid. She remains a proud, beautiful symbol of freedom and a free people worldwide.
Sadly, freedom's light in the United States is flickering badly. The September 11 terrorist acts have spawned severe, ongoing challenges to freedom. Still, many individuals are working hard to resist the encroaching tyranny even as it advances. It's vital work, but it can get downright depressing. Inspiration seems harder and harder to find.
I'm not much for the adornments of nations -- flags, national birds, anthems, and the like leave me cold. But I love Lady Liberty. She was a gift from France to the United States, and while I'm sure some political oil was greasing the machinery, she wasn't the result of American politicians seeking to feather their own nests. Private funds paid for her construction and shipment. The Statue of Liberty is also a potent reminder of what we're fighting for, and why it's so important. It's no accident that so many who value freedom, as well as those who only give it lip service, use her imagery.
On the anniversary of the beginning of Lady Liberty's construction here in the States, it's a good time to get reacquainted with her. The Statue of Liberty Encyclopedia is an excellent place to start. It's filled with beautiful photographs and lots of information -- just the thing to help shake off the chill of TIPS and the "Patriot" Act and get back to the work of restoring liberty.
