Notice I said "the best" thing they can do for their country. You then turned it around to make it seem like I'm somehow anti-activist, and "wish I had the courage" to go topless? Interesting logic, that.
There are a lot of things which are lovely and worthy. There are a lot of very important causes which need support and press. I had no idea the right to show breasts was the most pressing issue of our time. If you don't think it is, either, then you actually agree with what I was saying, but just feel you'd like to start a fight.
The thread title is "Why aren't we all members of the Free State Project?" which is a question, and it was asked of the Ron Paul Forums (now Liberty Forest) community, so yes, I was asked a question.
Am I not free to answer it? Your response, FTL_Ian, would seem to indicate that answers such as mine simply aren't up to your standards.
As for membership, I don't like it. I don't "sign up" for things, I just do them. I barely sign up for forums or anything of the like, and usually with fake names and addresses for good measure. I don't like being on lists, because when something happens "in the name of" the FSP that I don't agree with, my name is still associated with it. That really can happen with anything. I don't think I'm the only person on the entire forum who doesn't like putting their information out on lists and with groups, especially with what has happened with information like that in the past. In other words, I have my reasons.
Your entire criticism in the rather large central paragraph is that I don't feel like abandoning a career. Yes, I should move to NH and have no money. I forgot! We shouldn't believe in money! Are you joking? I worked very hard to be doing what I am doing, and there is no market for it in New Hampshire. The implication that, because I am not moving to a pocket where freedom will be EASIER TO OBTAIN (and that's the entire point, right?), I somehow care less about what happens... it's idiotic at best. Perhaps RonPaulHawaii should have just done his freedom ride through NH; it is obviously the only portion of the US that cares. No? He went across the entire country? Hmmm.
I prefer to work locally to achieve freedom. I don't prefer to just move to where people love freedom more than elsewhere, and the rest of the populace be damned. That's my own choice, and you can think it's stupid if you'd like, but perhaps I'm not the only one making that choice. Perhaps that's a reason why more people don't join the FSP or move to NH. That, then, is a possible partial answer to the OP, which is why I posted it.
I'm sure you don't believe in having a job or money, either, which is why you're typing from a computer with internet access. Those must have been free, too. Will I get one when I move to NH? No? Food? Shelter? I mean real shelter, please, not crashing on someone's couch. Will people continue working towards freedom and holding their local officials accountable in my area once I up and abandon those efforts? Why should they? They should all drop everything and move to NH!
I addressed your points, and I addressed the OP, and I don't really think there's more to say on it. Attack me some more if you'd like, but I don't think that's going to convince me to pull up stakes and abandon my current projects
