"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Let Go, Live Free
"Whether it be from schools that indoctrinate us into believing we can’t really do anything, that we need the government to take care of us, or media constantly portraying the outside world as being destitute or dangerous, many people today just can’t imagine picking up and going without any substantive amount of cash or resources."

Ever hear of Sameria? I thought not. I'm the only inhabitant. But I'm free. I am a free, sovereign state, as a matter of fact. And I did not have to move to Cambodia or Thailand or New Hampshire or to a floating platform out in the Pacific (I can only imagine what a tyrannical nightmare "The-Government" out there might develop into once a few sociopaths get themselves settled in and start to manage and control their neighbors).
Wherever on this earth I move, my freedom will depend solely upon what's between my ears. Liberty is not the purveyance of parasites who make up the local governments around the earth.
If it's gonna be, it's up to me.
