I don't expect you to take me seriously at all, since you don't even take your own "free state" seriously enough to address the obstacles it would certainly have to overcome.
You'd rather bitch and moan and remain as impotent as you currently are than break a sweat addressing the mundane issues such as state and town revenues.

Do you expect to be taken seriously when you heap personal abuse (read: dodging the issue) on someone who is asking valid, practical questions about your "free state"?

You can't even begin to explain how you'd get your "free state" through a lost potato crop, or how you'd settle disputes over water, or how you'd expect state residents to countenance paying federal taxes when your state legislature won't bring federal funds into the state.

Until you can realistically answer these and other practical and valid questions, no one will ever take you seriously.

The problem of 70 years of socialism is that few people are alive who know any better than what we now have. Being by nature conservative, people want to conserve what they know. Government is now involved in so many things and has been for so long that people can't imagine it any other way and are scared of the prospects if they do imagine it. Try and imagine the scale of this bitter irony, the country our forefathers bequeathed to us, this very country and the descendants of these fathers, to these very people liberty is scarey.

Your questions of how such a free society would function are valid. I have read numerous proposals on transition from what we have to where we would be. Didn't save them and it is too much for me to summarize so will have to search. Perhaps I can find some links or even post a few things articles on.

I told you, irrational one, that I'm not yet a porcupine.

That said, how the hell can one be expected to engage someone, who when in a discussion of Idaho can't seem to get off the subject of potatoes.

Idaho = potoatos = the indespenable FEMA. OK, you made your point.

Your first grave concern was the God awful fear that they just might repeal seat belt laws, you were all downhill from there. If there was any overt reason for participating in the FSP it would be to get away from people like you.

Go bug somebody else.
