I don’t have anything definite yet.

Well, I would forget about CT, MA, or RI. All three completely strangled by the weight of social democracy. I’d stick to the top three (VT, NH, or ME). Believe me, I live in CT. The only prob with the more northern states in New England is getting a job if you are outside of a city.

Yeah, I figured I’d start out in a city like Manchester. Closer to the time I’ll head over the FSP forums and check for a place to stay and a job.

Once the states run out of money to imprison them, gang lords will be offering drop outs the opportunity to become millionaires running drugs around the country. Coupled with battle-hardened cartels migrating out of Mexico after defeating the state’s final desperate attempt to eradicate them, there will be a drop out army fighting the U.S. government with unlimited cash.

If there is any kind of brain to this whole government operation, they will legalize drugs before they are destroyed. I’m not counting on it.

most, if not all, that passed through the institution I was at and others that I’d visited, you get to see first-hand that when the youth come in their problems are the gang’s over the hill or their parents. Yet in time, even the gang over the hill became their friends on the inside and it was I that was the enemy as I was perceived as a much bigger cause of their problems in time. Many would state, that them being there wasn’t helping them at all but it only solidified their perception that much of the problems that existed back home end up stemming from the state. Though their problems back home would persist, they had a new culprit to blame it on. The gov’t, ie. institutions of cops, judges, social workers, PO’s, etc… only made worse.

If anything, the institutional life they experienced changed one thing, it opened up their minds and they would often verbalize that their problems that happened back home were becoming less and less in comparison to all the hardships the state put them through. The state became a common enemy to what were formerly bitter enemies when they first came to the institution, they turned their attention towards the state. They would even talk about how they couldn’t go back home and be friends like this and sometimes worried how they might appear to others that knew they hung out together. The repeat offenders knew how to play the ropes and the institution was to blame so being there definitely had the reverse effect. Instead of the institution helping, it actually creates it’s own enemies. Just like the over-reaching institutions that imprison the population at large.

Maybe there will be a drug lord/ Michigan Militia coalition in the future!

I don’t think such a coalition would be necessary. If they both weaken the state from their own angle, then they will reinforce each other without needing any formal relationship.

That is an ecological fact.

For some reason this song seems to run in my head after reading what I’ve written. O_O

Yeah, I was kind of kidding anyhow. But what you said makes sense.
