Hi all I'm Bob,
I'm a resident of Virginia and I became aware of the Shire Society because of my interest in Cop Block and Photography is not a crime. As a younger man, I became embroiled in the legal system because of my use of various recreational drugs. My experience was that my difficulties with law enforcement and the judiciary were far more destructive than the drugs themselves. For health reasons, I've been abstinent from alcohol and other recreational drugs for many years. However, I still see prohibition as a much larger problem than drug abuse. Additionally, my experience with police leads me to believe that the abuses frequently coming to light because of people filming the police are the norm rather than the exception. The above leads me to my increasing belief in a libertarian world view. Anyway I hope this will be a good place for dialog on these and other issues.
Welcome to the forum!
Welcome - when will you be joining us in NH?
So far I haven't been able to talk my wife into moving to New Hampshire. She wants to go somewhere warmer not colder when we retire. Wherever I am I plan on fighting the never ending expansion of government intrusion into our lives.
Don't try to talk her into moving, just bring her to Porcfest for a vacation.
She will enjoy herself so much she will suggest moving herself.
Welcome!
And what Jerry said.
