“the quiet enjoyment of one’s property”
by Brian Wright

private nuisance:
n. the interference with an individual’s peaceful enjoyment of one’s property, which can be the basis for a lawsuit both for damages caused by the nuisance and an order (injunction) against continuing the noxious (offensive) activity or condition. Examples: fumes from a factory above the legal limit, loud noises well above the norm, directing rain water onto another person’s property, operating an auto repair business in a neighborhood zoned residential, or numerous barking dogs… [and government-highway noise?]

Millionaire Page of Brian Wright
Say Yes to Success!

Hello, I’m Brian Wright, proprietor of the ‘wholistic libertarian’ commentary and opinion site, the Coffee Coaster (http://www.thecoffeecoaster.com), and founder of the FLOW Fellowship.

The FLOW Fellowship is a diverse social movement advancing a spiritual philosophy that brings inner peace, outer peace, and abundance to those who understand its fundamental principles and diligently perform its cultivation practices. The Joy of Being is accessed by letting go of internal mental compulsion and addiction, while ending the external compulsion of coercive government—to kick our ‘nation-state addiction’ worldwide and live as sovereign individuals in a benevolent, rational, and compassionate voluntary society.

Latest Pilgrim Chronicles from a renewed activist
by Brian Wright

Perhaps I should say ‘renewed though lagging a bit,’ because for the first time it’s hitting home that ol’ BW, libertarian man of the ’60s, is becoming a libertarian man in his 60s. Though the flesh is fading, the spirit soars… in line with my more political-level freedom-loving past… now with truly a personal spiritual revelation and transformation that stands to bring liberty to full fruition. Getting ahead of myself… Continue reading →

James Ricci’s incredelicious pasta sauce recipe
by Maria (Hercher) Struck

Newspaper columnist James Ricci, who is/was to The Detroit Free Press what John Schneider is to the Lansing State Journal, was a daily “must-read” for me when we first moved to Lansing from Detroit in the early 80’s. In fact, we could ill afford it, but I insisted on subscribing to two daily newspapers because I needed to stay in touch with my familiar and beloved columnists from the Freep: Ricci, McWhirter, Talbert and Harris. Being an at-home mom at the time, I was thus better able to keep my fingers on the pulse of the world. Continue reading →

‘The Sixties’ shows its good nature in classic venue
by Dave Spencer

… I walk in with great reverence, am silent, feeling as if I am in the presence of Jerry Garcia himself.

Greetings to all!

I must say this trip to the west coast has been incredible, especially my trip to San Francisco. Before I indulge in this story I want to give props to my host and friend Gregg Millitello and his way-cool son Michael. Fellas, I had the best two days of living up there. Michael, you da’ man! I want to see you in ten years because you are going to make it happen son, what ever it is you choose, you are a stand up cat! Continue reading →
