Greetings all,
After being properly chastised for not posting a message here, I thought I'd better.
I'm a small business owner, small l libertarian and I reside in the great state of New Hampshire though I'm originally from Eastern Oregon. I've been trying to keep some semblance of preparedness for the last few decades, have been an avid gun guy since my earliest memories working in my Dad's hardware store selling ammo. I've been a ham operator for the last couple decades, and was in Communications when I served in the Army (82-86). - 26V so I worked on line of sight microwave communications and the closest I got to to being in the field was Basic. I was stationed for my entire stint in Maryland, and for some reason, have bucked the southern trend and continued to move further north.
New Hampshire suits me; the population is naturally more libertarian but still fall into their two party comfort zones. This year our General Court considered putting secession on the ballot and it was soundly defeated despite pockets of support. I think peacefully leaving the country is a rational response to Washington overreach and no understanding of classic economics. I think if there were a state that wasn't part of the US were presented with the opportunity to join the US as it exists today the proposer would be road out of town on a rail. It's sad to see the end of what was a brilliant idea in it's final death throes with no one to blame but those of us who propped it up for years. That is my greatest regret.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the Going Home series and it has helped plug some holes in my planning and pointed out somethings I hadn't even considered. To Chris, I am grateful for his continued work on the series.
Thanks,
Oregonism
