civil liberties

Civil liberties are protections from the power of governments. Examples include:
* freedom of speech,
* freedom of the press,
* freedom of assembly,
* freedom of unwarranted searches by the government,
* trial by jury, and even
* freedom to own an AK.

That's OK, you can have my civil liberties Mr. Ashcroft. I wasn't using them anyway. At least I still have my AK.

femivore

Women who have veered from the work force into raising chickens, growing vegetables, and canning. A DYI locavore

My femivore friends may never do more than dabble in backyard farming - keeping a couple of chickens, some rabbits, maybe a beehive or two - but they're still transforming the definition of homemaker.
