Hey everyone. I hail from central Tennessee, though I was born and raised in Florida. I am a free market, property rights, eye for an eye Libertarian and strongly support secession. I'm an artist, craftsman and all round do-it-yourselfer. I'm always on the lookout for free thinking, liberty minded individuals who oppose tyranny the way I do. They do seem to be in short supply these days. I know they are here but it seems, most keep low to prevent becoming ostracized by their community for speaking ill of the state. I love the idea of living among people where such inhibitions are unnecessary or at least not frowned upon. I wish I had known of the freestate movement back in 08 before I moved here to TN, otherwise I would've just kept on driving. I so hate pulling up roots, but I'm sold. Staying here would be pointless. I'm coming up in the Spring/Summer to house hunt. I'll definitely be stopping in Keene and outlying cities, though I'm not going to lie, the property taxes of much of southern NH have me a bit concerned. I'll post exact dates as soon as I figure them out.
Possible sites that could have led me to the Shire Society include: FreeTalkLive, FreeKeene.com, Ridley Report, Freestate.org.
The property taxes blow, but it's something to work on for the future. Meantime, buy a multi-family, owner occupy, and rent to cover your living expenses/mortgage. You'll be fine. Please do check out the housing subforums for resources.
