The name actually means nothing. I was inspired by the bumper stickers you occasionally see demanding that we somehow "Free Tibet!" These are typicaly seen on a beat-up VW bus or rusty pick up with unwashed heathenry at the wheel. One wonders how these people propose to free anybody given their inability to even find soap. It seems to me that there are a lot of people who should be freed and the Tibetans (While they're certainly nice people) shouldn't necessarily be at the top of the list...

Or, it could be interpreted as encouragement to return to the true roots of Bohemianism, a revival of the spirit of the non-conformist, free-thinker. It might be a statement against the tyranny of leftist intolerance. Maybe it’s a secret conspiracy to liberate the chattels of Bohemia from those in the liberal mainstream who’ve commandeered it. Maybe it’s meant to encourage the people of the nation to get out of their collectivist “victim group” mentality and become individuals - i.e. people who think and vote. Perhaps it’s a call to reclaim the fragile ideals of representative democracy and reject the socialist shackles of political correctness. After all, in a world where politically correct thought is mainstream, only those who think for themselves can rightly claim to be Bohemian.
