Which state do you like?
« on: August 05, 2002, 05:14:28 pm »

Right now the choices are:  Alaska, Delaware, Idaho, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming

Personally, I think Nevada would be best.  It's close to my home state.  Also, it has the Grand Canyon, something that I've always wanted to see.

Well, my list with some short answers:

Maine-beautiful place and access to the ocean.
New Hampshire-same as Maine
Vermont-nice place especially during the fall and rural enviroment
New Mexico-have friends there and wide open country.

The elitists fear an ever growing political advocacy that is present in the common man and woman. It offends their sense of the class structure and their own morally corrupt world view. What better way to maintain this elitist structure than to indoctrinate a child at a very early age?

Mega Joule,
 
   I read your report on Nevada and have decided that it would NOT be a very good state to live in.  Some of the laws are as stupid as many of California's, save the gun laws.  I think Montana would be a better state to go to.  It's already very free, therefore giving FSPers a better chance to turn it into a completely Free State.

The state cannot grant you freedom.  No organization can grant you freedom.   Freedom is just something you are born with.  I am sick of the state stealing my money, and harassing me.  Also, I could always just go to Costa Rica.  Things look like they are getting better down there.  Or I could live on a boat...

...or I could...

...ok, I'll shut up...

I would like to move to Montana because there the government doesn't oun much land and because in the mountains you will find a lot of adventure. :)

I like Montana because they much more relaxed law about guns and because, from what I've heard and seen in pictures, it has some fantastic and beautiful sights.

I think that Wyoming and Montana are the best choices - they seem to be the most receptive to a libertarian movement, and that's the most important issue. If we can't get laws changed/repealed, then the whole FSP is for naught. Plus, I love the open space and gorgeous scenery that they offer. :)

In a state like Montana or Wyoming you can disapear from the Government's eyes because  of thier  wide-open spaces.
When I move to the Free State I will have a small cabin in the mountains so no-one will know where I am, or for that matter, that I even exist.

Hello, all...

Personally, I agree that Wyoming or Montana are the two best bets.  If like Wyoming more, I'm from there and there is a smaller population, but considering the trade implications I have to give props to Montana's position.  I would probably split my vote between those two states, pending my decision to sign on.

BTW -- I only know of Wyoming, but there is a modest (read: light) income tax, but no sales tax.  That's taken care of from mineral removal taxes through industry, probably something I would like to see continue.

I dunno if I'm in the minority on this aspect, but I'd go wherever it was decided was best.  I don't have any particular ties to any geographical region, and the weather is a lot less important to me than the political climate and the people.
