After hearing that some of the callers and/or hosts that I've admired on Freetalk Live have decided either to not come to New Hampshire or after arriving have decided to leave, I decided I needed to see if I could develop the kind of friendships which would make my move to New Hampshire a reality. Although I love freedom, I do not share the optimism many in the FSP have for freedom's prospects. I hope I will be welcome on the forum. I am a proud anarchist, which I would be happy to discuss further; I think my beliefs are consistent with those that desire peace, and those that believe that there is no way to peace, but that peace is the way. I do not think that everyone can be convinced of the truth of this belief, and that therefor sometimes violence is regrettably necessary. If this is inconsistent with the principles of the site, thank you for your consideration, and I wish you well.
I am a college graduate, and taught high school before becoming disillusioned with the system. I am now a handyman by trade. I'm married with children. My youngest is going to graduate from a public arts high school next year, and my wife and I have been considering what to do with the rest of our lives. Until she started high school, we had home-schooled both of our children. My son has yet to look for his first job. I think I have a lot to offer the FSP, despite my skepticism.
When I think of the brave band of freedom activists in New Hampshire, I can't help but feel hopeful. This hope my dream of finding friends who share at least a few of my hopes and dream can be realized, in New Hampshire, if need be. Thank you for allowing me to introduce myself.
you sound like you have a lot to offer wherever you and your wife end up, despite your skepticism. In general, I think people leaving, if it's what's best for them, are kinda still "doing their part" to live free and all the rest.

Always refreshing to hear!

I choose not to ponder in depth the potential necessity of violence, but I understand that view.
