A Spate of Free State Slates
by Garry Reed
By now all Libertarians, excepting perhaps those few diehard Second Amendment Millennium Survivalists still abiding in self-sustaining freehold caves near the Canadian border, are familiar with the concept behind the Free State Project. To bring you up to date, the plan calls for people of libertarian temperament to move to a single high-freedom low-tax state in sufficient numbers to out-vote the local populace, take political control of the countryside and fashion Freedom in our Time.
In fact, while you were tending to your mystical mushrooms in your lower grotto, the movement has already begun moving. New Hampshire was declared the destination of choice and some Porcupines (as Free-Staters dub themselves) have begun their Eastward migrations.
The idea behind the idea, of course, is that if you can't change a whole country, change one fiftieth of it. Little wonder, you may conclude from your front cavern lounge rock, that the idea would catch on with other groups.
