Gone and forgotten

Last week I asked some close friends of mine
(statists by habit, but free men by constitution)
where I could go to satisfy only one criterion:
To be left alone. Where could I go and not be
assaulted by thugs who presumed that they owned
my property, or who lived as though my non-
aggressive behavior was subject to their
birdbrain constraints? That was my question, and
it presumed that I would be self-sufficient, and
therefore immune from income tax and the like.
What a tragedy that not one of their answers
included a location in the United States, that
fabled land of the free, home of the
brave.

Salty Pig nails it all down very consisely.
