Unintentionally Funny
Today's NYTimes article about the "FreeStaters" moving to Vermont has some great quotes. Here's one lady's plan to become a billionaire there.
Her New Hampshire plans include starting eight businesses "because nine out of every 10 fail, and I've already started two, so I need to do eight more."
Sounds suspiciously like an Underpants Gnomes business plan to me. Here's another gem:
Mr. Somma doesn't argue against public schools, but maintains that they get too much money, which is good only "if you have to have nice school buildings and computers and all that." "Back in the day," he said, "they didn't need all that to teach kids. Back in the day, you were sitting around on rocks and listening to a guy talk."
Alas, the days of important classes like flintnapping, fire starting and food gathering are long gone.
I know these people are hardly typical of the Libertarians I've seen around the Blogosphere....but it did make me wonder which group is really the norm.
Then again, fairly reasonable people are hardly newsworthy, are they?

I think that's an insult to the Underpants Gnomes.
