Delaware?

    Oh well, I would have gladly have moved to Wyoming, Montana, Alaska or Idaho… but I can’t go back East…..

    I guess I have no choice but to secede from the Union.

    How is New Hampshire? I may have to move there if things start looking good. Anybody notice in the foxnews.com article that Dem. spokesman that called us anarchist? When do we return with the name calling and call em’ all communists?

    I knew someone out there had to have a real plan for turning our chaotic and out of control government around. I only wished they had picked Texas! YEEHAW!

    One thing the FSP looked at was population size of each state. Delaware has a small population. Plus, it’s business friendly, as any of the Fortune 500 corporations that have their HQ’s in Delaware will attest to. It also has a limited federal presence (considering it’s so close to DC) and access to an ocean, important if you want to establish trade agreements with other countries should they get serious about seceding.

    It would have been a decent choice, if the FSP had been looking for an urban solution…

    I wrote a story about how the Libertarians are moving 20,000 people to New Hampshire.

    Wyoming was the first runner-up. It would have been a better choice too.

    New Hampshire has a lot of things that make it a great choice for the Free State Project. (Too bad weather isn’t one of them.)

    But obviously the people who signed up for the project and are actually willing to move to the state chosen are the ones who voted for New Hampshire. So if you weren’t ever really going to move, there is no point in complaining.

    I’d just like to comment that ‘business friendly’ doesn’t mean ‘libertarian’. And a high number of Fortune 500 companies being registed in Delaware (their real HQ’s can be anywhere) probably puts Delaware high on the ‘crony capitalist’ scale of things.
