This is one thing that worries me about the future of NH, its smack dab in the middle of Statist New England---a bastion of liberty surrounded by wolves. I hope she doesnt fall like the rest.
Don't worry. The wolves are unarmed. And if you shoot them, they will have to make an appointment a month out to see their PCP to get their wounds patched up. |

"No nation however powerful, any more than an individual, can be unjust with impunity. Sooner or later, public opinion, an instrument merely moral in the beginning, will find occasion physically to inflict its sentences on the unjust... The lesson is useful to the weak as well as the strong." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1804.
"It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour." - Thomas Jefferson
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
Thomas Jefferson

Don't worry. The wolves are unarmed.  True, for the most part. Here in NYC, its pretty easy to get guns illegally. Just dont get caught or you're fuked. Mandatory minimums are in effect now. |

Actually the States around us are not as statist as one may think. Each has its areas that are more liberty than NH. Hmm, i disagree. Just from a geographical angle, the FSP could not have picked a worse state. Regional politics do exist, you see it in other parts of the country. The fact that NH has held out so well is pretty damn impressive. For how long, who knows. VT to my knowledge has much more liberty-orientated firearms laws (or lack of, depending on how you wish to think about it). And I'm sure I could find areas of Maine or Mass laws that are more suited toward individual liberty... |

Otherwise, its a nightmare run by tree-hugging statists. Crazy high taxes. They elected a self-declared communist to the Senate, for cryin' out loud. |

They seem to both be very good compared to most other states form what I understand. VT is better in some areas and NH is better in others. In 2 years, I wouldn't be surprised if it was easy to tell than NH's laws are comparatively better. Though, you have a good point. The nudity laws tend to be far superior in VT too. Although, I don't know of any state with nudity laws as unrestrictive as VT. |

You're a statist Thom, i wasnt directing my comments towards you. Obviously, you wouldnt mind NY or Mass.
As for marriage, who im with is none of any bureaucrat's busness.
Statist? After 25 posts and having never met me....you're either psychic (and a phony one at that) or a little impressed with your own [lack of] knowledge. |

Didn't vermont have a movement like the free state project back in the 70's - except in reverse? I seem to remember a movement for super liberals to move to vermont with a goal to change vermont from a very conservative state into a liberal state. More than 50,000 made the move, if memory serves.

50000?? no wonder VT is so statist. If 50000 liberty lovers moved to NH in the next ten years the size of its gov. would finally shrink after years of being grown by Mass statists. |

Statist are still moving from NY and MA to VT. More liberty people are still moving from MA to NH. I don't see either migration stopping anytime in the next 20 years.

The "back to the land" movement... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-to-the-land_movementHappened in NH also, but tended to result in a higher degree of yankee libertarianism. |
