“Liberty in Our Lifetime”

The Free State Project

The Free State Project, which hopes to get 20,000 liberty-minded people to move to one state and peacefully reduce the role of government in that state, has announced that New Hampshire will be their target state. They had early on decided that they would vote on their target state when membership reached 5,000 people, and they’ll start the migration when they hit 20,000 people. It’s an interesting experiment, and I hope that they reach the point of moving so we can see what kind of changes they’ll be able to make. I’ll even toy with the idea of signing up as New Hampshire is close enough to be acceptable to me, though I’m not sure I’m that committed to the libertarian ideals anymore. Most of my interest would be in the experiment, to find out whether or not it is possible to make that kind of change, and to find out whether or not the principles would work.
