Libertarians Look for a State to Call Their Own. (Free State Project)
The Everett Herald (WA) | 2/23/2003 | reprint from the Baltimore Sun

Plans are under way for an invasion of New Hampshire. Or Wyoming. Or maybe Delaware, Montana or Alaska. Sparsely populated and independent in spirit, they're all attractive targets for a certain bloodless coup in the making.

Within the next several years, according to the plan, 20,000 Libertarians would move to a single state and begin infiltrating. They'd get jobs, join civic groups, get elected and take a hatchet to taxes and laws. In this utopia called the Free State Project, schools would be severed from the state, gun-control laws abolished, drugs legalized, health and social services privatized, and most federal aid rejected. Government's only job would be to protect against "force and fraud."

Not really. Humanist rationalism is a very shallow mindset, and offers no real happiness.

Did you just say I'm not a Christian?

There has to be a reason for your great unhappiness and continued political irrelevance. It must be an alert list! Yeah, that's the ticket!

I guess you chickened out again.

I'll be back in the morning, then you can tell me about your participation in the alert list.

Guess you evaded again. Did you just imply that you do not and have not participated in an alert list? If so, you bore false witness.

You falsely accused me of not being a Christian. Then you accused me of being a moral liberal. Then you implied that you don't participate in the alert list.

MY, MY, lots of sins for one night. Maybe you better go to bed and pray.

C'mon son, I have a job, unlike the government employees here who post all day on the taxpayers dime, I need to get some rest so I can pay their salaries while they advocate their bosses all day on the internet.

You are admitting that you were alerted to come to this thread by CJ? You told me to wait, I'm waiting.

For someone who can't fiddle, you sure know how to dance. You boys have less courage than a Frenchmen.

So grow some cojones boy, tell me about your particiaption in the alert list. And if you have enough, say who alerted you. Your "hero" has split again in the face of fire. certainly one of you little boys has more cojones than him.

Takes you pretty long to reply. Maybe you didn't receive your orders back from your boss CJ yet?

The conspiracy is too vast to quantify. It is the "vast ping list conspiracy". You have no chance at all. You stand no chance.

Have you ever seen a more pathetic specimen of paranoidal schizophrenia? He and the Corpse rant on about some alleged alert list without realizing that people are free to browse the latest posts themselves. If they weren't so pathetic they'd be entertaining.

But it is fun messing with their minds.
