On April 5, 2006, a CHRC flunkie signed up with the username jadewarr, marking the beginning of a campaign of ongoing government and legal harassment that continues to this day. So, that makes it even more amazing that we are still alive.

And thank you Connie and Mark! I have met some great people through FD. I have learned a lot too. But most of all, because of FD, I met the love of my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Oh yeah.... cool! I remember it like it was yesterday. I have even saved some screen shots, and HTML captures of the original Free Dominion in it's early configuration.

I have been hanging a hat at Free Dominion for just over ten of those eleven years. I liked Connie and Mark when I first met them, Over the years, that has turned into admiration for and love of two moral and principled people. Connie and Mark have taught many of us lessons in tolerance, forgiveness and dignified endurance under the most trying circumstances.
The most effective way to stifle democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: activist judges, human rights tribunals, parliamentary committees, civil service bureaucrats and political party hacks.
