All kidding aside, I am not against FSP at all. Go for it. I believe wholly in moving somewhere to make a new life and in your freedom to do that. There are a lot of liberty-minded people everywhere that believe in making a stand where they are, and I'm all for that, too. The more liberty lovers, the better. I don't care where they live. In fact, I plan on looking into starting a free county project where I am moving.
This creepy attitude that SOME of you movers have that is so snobby, so superior to others--it's not doing you any favors. Your name calling, snide remarks, and your baseless judgment show me exactly what kind of people are moving to NH as part of the FSP. To those folks I say "no thanks" --your idealized cult of FSP is the best reason for not joining the FSP, even if I did move to NH. Also, the people who firmly believe that there is NO OTHER PLACE/WAY to be active and be liberty activists, well that is a defeatist attitude, and I can tell you that I've had plenty of opportunity to flex my freedom of speech, right to assembly, and to participate in civil disobedience whenever I wanted where I live now. Your argument back to that is always, "but nothing happens where you are! You can change stuff in NH." To that I say...maybe. Maybe I can change stuff where I am, too. If the FSP is about concentrating people in one spot to be liberty activists, they may be thinking on too small a scale. An idea as compelling as liberty and freedom is like manure--if you put it all in one place, you just get a big stinky pile. If you spread it around, stuff grows.
Good luck in your efforts, FSPers. I love FTL and I will support the show, which is great entertainment and thought-provoking. I wouldn't even know about the FSP if I didn't listen to the show...what does that tell you? Conversely, I think that there might be more people that did move to NH that didn't sign up with the FSP because of the reasons I gave, so maybe the real point here is, to address fatcat...FSP isn't really a failure. People actually moved to NH. That's pretty amazing, considering. Who cares about the numbers? People actually moved (which is a pain in the ass at any time). That's incredible! That's no fluke. And fatcat, you and I can rest assured that those folks are part of 'something special.' Because if we don't move to NH, we're just chopped liver, spinning our wheels, going nowhere, useless eaters...
