I can't find the link anymore, but a while back (last summer?), some Libertarians got elected to office in a town in Colorado. It was a big deal because they were the first town in America to have an all Libertarian executive and legislature (such as it is). Unfortunately, the first thing they did is vote themselves out of existence. The nullified the portion of the town charter that gave them the power to do anything as a government. So, they had a special election and recreated the town.
Now, what's the point of this story? A Free State is one that is filled with questions about day-to-day existence in the United States. The most tricky one, and the one that FSP folks haven't answered as far I know, is how do you expect to interact with the Feds? On a bunch of levels, the difference between the Federal and State government is much like the difference between the right testicle and the left. They're distinct, but they fulfill many of the same functions and they're still intrisically connected.
I would also like some real specific answers to the issues of modern governance (like relations with the Feds) before I would commit to what sounds like an interesting experiment. The FSP reminds me of a lot of other revolutionaries that want to overthrow (or, in this case, minimize the influence of) government, but don't really know what's going to happen after the fact.
If I'm wrong, please, point me in the right direction.
