*** About the Walk For Liberty
What are you willing to do for freedom?
Vote? Protest? Participate in a rally? Walk all the way across the country?
We are.
This summer, a group of activists will be walking across America to achieve more freedom and liberty.
Our pioneer forefathers trekked across the continent from the east to the west to find a better life for themselves. This time, we're doing it in reverse.
I am walking coast-to-coast across the country, from Oregon to New Hampshire. I am joined by my immediate family as well. We're on a quest to gain more freedom for ourselves and for our country by spreading the message of freedom and liberty along the way.
Why are we doing this?
We see the gradual chipping away at freedoms in America, and want to do our part to stop it. My wife and I are moving to New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project. New Hampshire is already the freest state in the country, which is why we are moving there. But we also want to help bring more freedom to as many other people as possible.
Therefore we are walking across America to get to New Hampshire. We are walking all the way there to bring as much media attention and publicity as possible to two liberty-oriented causes: the Free State Project, which is working to make New Hampshire even more free, and Ron Paul's message of freedom for everyone.

FLYING OVER OAHU in HAWAII - BEAUTIFUL SCENERY OF THE ISLANDby 706d7,781 views
Nice shoot. We got clobbered in MA too! My opinion differs from yours concerning private ownership of the public ways.
Privatization in theory sounds good enough on paper. However, drawing upon examples of private "mangled care" and megacorporate mergers that squeeze out competitors means the other extreme can be just as incompetent...if not more. Our present condition of the global economy also attests that private capitalism allowed to run amuck collapses the foundation it built itself upon.

we didnt have power for well over a month

No offense, but we are in a state of emergency because of the weather...you really shouldn't have been out driving unless totally necessary. I worry about the issues people on the road caused who were in the way...people taking photos and video were a hinderance to emergency crews in my area. I do understand the documentation of such a storm, but maybe next time, walk a bit with the camera rather than drive? Just an opinion.

You are dumb....
nothing could have made the roads open fast in that part of the state. I am lucky, the heavy ice was higher then the elevation of my house otherwise, I would have a skylight. That was the worst ice storm in years and you complain that the roads are closed down. My friends have no power or phone and some will not for days. Ice storms happen and to rage of the lack of responce?
What ever...
you should have said...
Holy f#@%, this is bad

Best argument for private roads IMHO:
Look at all the deaths on state-owned roads.

Sorry you are having such a difficult time getting to the end of your journey. Last year the blizzard was on the day of the Boston Tea Party but like you OLFOD volunteers weathered the storm and drove thru to be there! Will be watching for your arrival. Thanks for spreading the word :-)

I'd almost offered to save you the cost of that rental car but held off because I figured you don't need to enter NH with this cold... Probably just as well VT and MA get a little wierd about people "improving their roads" and I've developed a habit of carrying a chainsaw on days like yesterday.
In an odd coincidence, we've been given a dog name Jake...
