"A libertarian movement promoting "minimalist government", the free market, drugs, prostitution and gun ownership plans to infiltrate New Hampshire to create a breakaway American regime, its leaders will announce today."

Don'tcha just love mediots.
What I found even funnier, was as hard as I tried?
I sincerely couldn't tell what the political bent of this moron was!

C'mon let's face it, the mere *thought* this kind of plan could succeed scares the bejebbers outa both sides; so, they're going to want to join forces -- if only -- for the express purpose of whacking this effort, el pronto.
This is just beginning, they're only starting to get cranked up with this type of smear & sleezy distortions.

Just imagine, fracturing the system by offering a carrot to, & then stealing away, one of their precious crown jewel minorities. One they've spent so much of their time & resources building up into a political "Frankenstein," too.
The gays.

...bwahaaaaa!!

What are the people that move going to do for jobs? It would seem like an influx of 20K people would create an employment drought!

Jobs are not a physical resource that is fixed in quantity; they are contracts between producers and consumers, which flourish in a free economy. Not to mention the fact that those 20k people are consumers as well as producers.

Yeah, yeah, I realize how my question may have sounded, but I get the gist of employment economics (just the basics). However, I have never heard of a major relocation of 20K people. I could imagine some quantity of them the entreprenurial (sp?) but not a large quantity. In the original post, I kinda took it as a short period of time for them to all move, from further reading I understand it is a slow growth situation. Much easier, people relocate and the economy grows with it.

I love Texas, and don't think I'll ever leave. Best wishes and y'all come back now, you hear?

Nope, I won't move to NH until global warming raises its temp to that of Miami.

That would cause temporary turbulence, true.

I changed my FReeper profile and didn't have the heart to keep it that wqay, not yet at least.

I reckon I'm just a Texian clodhopper at heart. You figure those New Hampster folks will get used to the hat and boots okay?

Wyoming would have presented a few less problems. But the hats there sure do have some funny shapes to 'em, expecially the bumpy dents on top instead of a neat Texas crease.

You bet I'll be back. But it was mighty rough when Austin's barbecue in Dallas closed down.

Folks, despite the latitude, NH is a NASCAR state. The rednecks just wear parkas up here.

Thanks for making me feel a little better. After my original questions I felt pretty stoooooopid. Sorry if my previous post seemed out of sorts, it wasn't meant to be anything but the sound of defeat. You are one of the last posters I would respond to with anger!

The wife and I have occasionally dreamt of Alaska, but we won't move unless the familial obligations keeping us here are fulfilled. Had Alaska been chosen, I might have given it some thought. Texas still has a freedom-loving streak that the Crats haven't managed to expunge, and it's worth fighting for. Cheers, archy, Good luch to you and your family.

Because I'm such an august presence, or because I seem like I might snap at any moment? :-D

When that happens there will be less viable acreage to build on but on the bright side we'll enjoy more coast line.

Not when we gather at Laconia/Weirs Beach every June we don't....

My son's 19, and old enough to make his own decision as to eastward, westward or to stick in between where he is.

He favoured the west, as I did, and he may stick with that decision, or may give NH a try with me; his choice. Nothing's set in stone yet, and we'll see how it goes.

Hopefully you Free Staters will re-legalize the outlawed phrase "show us ya t*ts!"

Yeah, yeah, I realize how my question may have sounded, but I get the gist of employment economics (just the basics). However, I have never heard of a major relocation of 20K people.

Well, the relocation of kids to safer areas, including Canada and US during the *Blitz* bombing of Great Britain by the Germans comes to mind, as does the resettlement of those residing in the Warsaw Ghetto, though those examples are more drastic and less voluntary on the part of the participants than the FSP effort.

In more recent times, the *chicken run* and *gapping it* flight from Rhodesia circa 1979-'80 as the Mugabe government siezed power and began its steps toward the ethnic clensing of the IsiNdebele tribe and whites in Zimbabwe offers another example, as does the less-intense migration of hippies and communalists to Vermont in the '70s and '80s. But those efforts were more scattershot efforts at survival, and less carefully thought out as to long-term political goals of the participants.

Sucess often breeds imitation. It'll be interesting to see if others attempt something similar: If the FSP porcupines can do it in New Hampshire, we can do it in.... [insert your favourite or worst nightmare as a target goal for various factions or groups here....]

I could imagine some quantity of them the entreprenurial (sp?) but not a large quantity. In the original post, I kinda took it as a short period of time for them to all move, from further reading I understand it is a slow growth situation. Much easier, people relocate and the economy grows with it.

I don't know how many Bill Gates, Clarence Saunders, John Moses Brownings, or Fred Smiths we'd need; and we wouldn't want to be competing against each other in the same fields. But the move is to come within five years of our acquiring 20,000 members; I expect that's going to happen rather quickly, but the FSP projection is for it to take place in about 113.7 weeks, given the past numbers and rate of growth. Note that within a year, we had about 1000 members; 12 months later, 5500.

So for some, it could be in 7 years, give or take a few months, for others- well, they're there already. Pretty soon you'll be seeing a running tally not just of numbers of pledged porcupines, but also of those who've made the move. I expect they'll be a factor in the 2008 election, maybe a major factor.

I checked the figures; 154 Porcupines resident in NH at present. We'll see how long it takes for that number to double to 300.
