New here. A new life also beginning to take form. Hope to get to know some of you. “The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.” says Madison… Too many people enjoy the security of following and refuse to question authority. We are not sheep.
We are Shire!
I am 59 years old and soon moving to Fitzwilliam from Massachusetts. My career has been in the field of "Coatings" with a brief stint in the Mental Health Services.
Frustrated by seeing the march of liberty towards the great abyss I joined to find a community that seeks ways to slow or halt the progression. At times I fear that anarchy is the only answer and I hope that it never comes to that.
I found the Shire after reading an online piece regarding the DEA raiding Phat Stuff. Don't these guys have anything better to do?
Very excellent article. Worth several reads. See! I'm learning more every day!
I vote for anarchy.
Wait do I get to vote in no ruler?
All I know is this; There a natural ( :duh:) gas pipeline planned to run from PA and across NY and through MA to the eastern US for export. Surveyors are asking for permission to survey the planned route across MA, under the CT river and through miles of wetland and pastoral land. It is suggested that it will happen regardless of permission or not (eminent domain)
Does anyone believe that peaceful demonstration will work to deter this $$$$$$$ project?
Welcome!

Woo anarchy! What is there to fear? Lots of people try to give anarchism a bad name and to tie the concept in with disorganized destructive chaos. All it really means is No Rulers. A truly libertarian society has no need for them.
"I heartily accept the motto,—'That government is best which governs least;' and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which I also believe,—'That government is best which governs not at all;' and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have."
- Henry David Thoreau
Fitzwilliam? Welcome!

Peace.
