Happy Birthday FSP!
The Free State Project is 5 years old today!
Oct 1, 2003, New Hampshire was picked as the place to go for liberty.
Because of this, the liberty movement grew in NH (duh) and the friends that I met throught the FSP freed me from my conservative worldview and made me the 'radical' for liberty that you guys know me as today. Cool quick vid about the project so far, as well as another vid of a protest/bad cop encounter I feel bad I missed out on, at the federal court about 1.5 miles from my house in Conc.
Oh yeah, see if you can spot me in the first one...open carrying!

I don't like a lot of your political rants, young Giggan, but I guess it's not an altogether bad thing going on there. All the best to you and your fellow folk. It's something of a shame how politically active youth is split into two zealous factions though, obviously libertarians are preferable to blackshirts.
i'm actually leaning that way myself.
Thank you for the well wishes, but how would you define a blackshirt?

Looks like a Political cult! Taking over a state no one cares about.
Happy first anniversary of this thread!
So much has happened in this past year in NH that further motivated my anticipation of returning and getting down to business. As of last week, Keene, NH's central square became a place that you could smoke marijuana in public and not get arrested. No telling how long that'll last, but hell, people are smoking in public and not getting arrested!

That's some fine harassment going on between 1:07 and 1:17 there. That idiot's lucky he didn't get slapped with some civil disobedience shit or something well deserving.

Make room NH, here I come!
i aint here to live, i'm just here to dream
If your goal in life is to be able to smoke weed in public, you should probably be shot behind the ear with a large caliber pistol.
It's not about getting high, (though that's part of the fun) its the idea that people are able to defy a law that's so ademently enforced in such large numbers and the authorities are sidelined not knowing what to do about it. In January, Andrew Carroll was arrested for holding a bud and was caged for nine days. In the location that he was dragged away from, people now gather and do everything he was doing and more (actually smoking). That's effing change we can believe in, peaceful people not being attacked for being peaceful people.
I'm sure some of the college students are just there to get high and don't care about liberties and such as a concept, but that just gives us an opportunity to suck them in. I don't think anyone joined the FSP for the purpose of smoking in public, but that is one of the positive side effects of a liberty movement.

What's wrong with just smoking weed on your own property though? I gotta walk my stupid kids through those parks and shit.
Umm, cigarettes? They're outdoors. I'm unaware of weed so powerful that being in the proximity of people smoking makes you high.
And this is 'their' property, that's the paradox of 'public' property...everyone owns it, and no one owns it.
Holding this on private property could hurt the property owner (because of legal bullshit, not because there's anything dangerous about smoking weed elsewhere). Also, they're not doing this on people's lawns because that violates people's property rights (if they are not invited).

Last night, the counter surpassed 10,000 signed participants of the Free State Project. Already, over 800 movers are in New Hampshire, and just on the horizon is the third annual Liberty Forum in Nashua, NH, March 18-21. The counter now sits at 10,005. ¡Fiesta!
