What is stopping me from claiming land in a remote part of the United States or Canada, and calling it my own? Let's say I try to claim a 2 by 2 mile piece of land. What is the harm in letting me have that much? What if I even agreed to let a government funded agency check for minerals and what not? What if I found a group of 25 people or so who would be willing to fund it and live there, who would be willing to help cultivate small crops to support the newly founded society? Let's say I peacefully seceded from the United States, and then I was on this land with 25 other people. Could I possibly find private agencies in the United States willing to trade building materials, electricity, and things like that?
Could I remove myself from international drug laws? Lets say I wanted to allow Ecstasy to be legal in my country. What is stopping my country from declaring ourselves free from international law? What gives the rest of the world any right to tell my country's people how to live and treat their bodies?
Just some thoughts... I mean.. I know several people in my town ranging from 15-26 who would seriously be on board if we found there were an easy way to do all this. How would you go about doing this? In all seriousness! Really. How? I mean it's sheer curiosity, but if it turned out to be do-able, then shit, why not create a society which does not rely so heavily on material, and simply does things for the good of one another?
