    Chile is a non-starter for me. When they switch to English, i will be interested. (grin, not going to happen)
    "Fort Galt" looks very overpriced and not big enough for anything but a retirement village.
    It isn't a Gulch. It isn't Atlantis.

    " like being secretively famous: "
    Yes. I was sort of committing the toupee fallacy: The evidence backs up my claim that Gulchs need to be non-secretive because very Gulch I hear about is non-secretive.

    Several days ago, Gary Johnson made a statement supporting a particular repressive act.
    And within two days retracted it and apologized.
    How many old-party politicians ever do that?
    He was wrong and admitted it.
    Voting for Gary Johnson not only gives an endorsement to an honest man, but shows the thugs and would-be tyrants of the two old parties that you are desiring liberty.

    Good point, Mike.
    Sometimes secrecy is needed. Do you know of the abortive Minerva effort?
    The stinking Brits learned about it and pressured the king of Tonga to steal the mostly underwater atoll so the people wanting a free nation couldn't continue the project.

    I don't have the foggiest notion of what that means or why you think it has any bearing on anything.
    But I'm always open to any rational explanation.

    Funny you should mention that. I too have noticed that, seemingly since the Free State Project started, that New Hampshire, the Live Free Or Die State, has become more regulated and policed.
    I don't know if it's just coincidence, reaction to the good people moving, or perhaps it's just so many people leaving Taxachusetts and stupidly bringing their evil ways with them.

    That was Galt's Gulch Chile, and it had problems with the water supply.

    This is FortGalt, by the same people. This time they got all the kinks sorted out.

    Well, it is an epistemological problem, like being secretively famous: How would you know if one or a hundred secret Gulches exist?

    Read many accounts here and elsewhere online. It is at best an ill-conceived and poorly executed attempt. That is a hoax has been suggested.

    That's true. I saw my first Gary Johnson ad a few days ago. You're right. My statement only appllies to the duopoly.

    point taken. I'd give you a thumbs up but it seems the powers to be have suspended my voting privileges.

    True, but only in the two old parties.
    And the Green Party.
    And the Constitution Party.
    But NOT the Libertarian Party.
