There was much discussion over which state would be the target with New
Hampshire and Wyoming on the short list. I didn't expect success when New
Hampshire was chosen. I lived there until 1988 and while it's the best you
can do on the east coast it's surrounded by a sea of liberals.

Have they managed to achieve anything major? I work with a guy at one of my customers who lives in NH. He says that yes, taxes are fairly low, but they take that back in fees instead, so not a huge difference in the end according to him.

Ken Royce championed Wyoming and wrote a novel, 'Molôn Labé!' about an
attempt to take over Wyoming. I think that scenario would have had more
success but libertarians do like their creature comforts. They want
freedom while retaining the ability to get their soy milk double grande
cappuccino from Starbucks.

Haha, yes, that is certainly one species of libertarian. But then there are the cowboy liberatrians as well!
