@Spideynw, given that the Free State Project is in the USA wouldn't it be at best only a watered down version of the ideal? I feel like a more practical solution would be to (if possible) buy up a small piece of land from an existing State and attempt to create a new 100% sovereign community with all the ideals in place. @DD5 good point, but I wasn't

@rosstaylor. If that happens, In this day and age where I believe many American soldiers look at their pay more than their objective in the military I hope that when many of these soldiers realize the US is sinking and the Government has nothing valuable to offer, they will not follow orders. As for private military contractors.

After reading that article I see more clearly now the futility of attempting to change the system by participating in it. My thoughts about how to bring about change are as follows: 1) Education: Start aggressively educating people about the corruption of government and special interests.

@rosstaylor, we are planning on selling our business within a year so I don't think there is an issue there. For those who buy it they can easily launch the business in other countries. .COM companies are in great shape to mold and fit within any community with the right settings. Regarding my opinion of the coming years I guess I will reply in

@Nielsio, I will respectfully disagree with that idea. I agree that politicians, public policemen etc lay claim to ownership over you and in a perfect world we should make do without them. However, until we transition into that ideal we have to deal with the current system. If it wasn't for Ron Paul who spread the message of freedom and my friend

@Stranger, that's interesting, and to think, prohibition is in large part supporting all of this. @Smiling Dave, thanks for the welcome! Yea we have to hold on to reason as much as possible, it has certainly helped me win lots of debates. During one, through reason I got someone to realize they believe handicapped people are first-class citizens
