Galt's gulch, the concept of individual secession in the context of patriotism (as opposed to expatriating) is probably what attracted me to the idea in the first place.
Galt's gulch, the concept of individual secession in the context of patriotism (as opposed to expatriating) is probably what attracted me to the idea in the first place. I was particularly attracted to the notion after I read "Atlas Shrugged". However, you need a solid group of industrious, like-minded people to make it work. I'm afraid that some Free Staters may be malcontents who would not pull their weight, leaving everyone in the same situation as before.
