Hello everyone! My name is Dylan. I am 18 years old and recently graduated from my local indoctrination station. I am part of the class of 2010 and was not supposed to graduate until the end of the school year but I managed to do so at the end of the first semester. I was able to do this because I used a tactic that I am very fond of…non-compliance. I scheduled a meeting with the "principal" and told him that I wanted to graduate at the semester and if they would not allow me to do this that I would not show up for the rest of the year anyway. I had all the "requirements" met for graduation, yet they still wanted me to attend. However, when I told them about planned my course of action, they quickly got me whatever papers were necessary to graduate early. Now that I am finally done with indoctrination, I am working in order to save funds for my move to Keene at the end of the summer. Myself, my roommate (Keith), and my girlfriend of two years (Kate), are all planning to move together at the end of the summer. Kate has managed to graduate early as well, and Keith has two classes that he is forced to attend in order to meet his requirements. A little while back, I started a local group for the FSP and I have a website, http://wifsp.webs.com/, if anyone is interested in seeing it. We have a few members and are actively attempting to recruit more. I am a FTL amplifier and listen to the show at least a few times a week, if not everyday. I consider myself to be an anarchist. I want nothing more in life than to see the creation of and enjoy the benefits of a laissez-faire society and I intend fully to work toward that everyday. I am VERY interested in economics, particularly in Austrian economics. FREE MARKETS FTW! Murray Rothbard has probably been the most influential economist for me. I look forward to meeting people in Keene and other parts of NH that think like me and I can't wait to bring my civil disobedience there to help the cause even more!
Hello and welcome. Always glad to see new people.
Welcome!
Cool story - even cooler that you're bringing a whole group up here!

Let's hope he starts a trend with that.
Thanks guys! Hopefully by the time we are ready to move I have a few more ready to come who are on the fence now! ;D
Welcome great job taking action and getting out of the Indoctrination system, its good to have you (and your group) en route to the NH

Well, I wondered what I was going to do with the "Liberty Caravan" song in another two weeks . . . !

Cool story. Hopefully in a couple years you'll be wondering why you even cared to have their stupid piece of paper.
Awesome story. I graduated early and moved to Keene when I was 18. In fact, 1 year ago, about 6 days from now, I took my first steps into Keene.
I am currently back at college, but I still try to stay involved.
Thanks again for all the welcoming lol. Ya I pretty much only wanted to graduate because if I didn't my family would be very upset with me. They don't understand fully, yet. Also, I wanted a base in case I decided to pursue education at a Tech College or something. Like I said though, hopefully by the time we are ready to move I have convinced others to move as well or even getting others on that path and letting them walk it with the remainder of the local group. Since a laissez-faire society is one that most people cannot even imagine (thanks to the YEARS of brainwashing) I always try to challenge people with very fundamental questions. I put up a new question of Facebook every day or so. An example is: Explain the difference between government and organized crime? or What is government and why do you see it as necessary? The first response I got to the latter question was my 13 year old brother ;D He makes me so proud. I think that he will be joining the movement with time as well
