Little did I know, but New Hampshire is the closest to the last true "free" place I've found yet. Their license plate even says "Live Free or Die". Their capital building had wide open doors, with no security checkpoint. You could just walk right in. They don't have mandatory seat belt laws amoung other non-nanny things. I really felt that this was more of the true spirit of America that "should be" than any state I've seen yet. I didn't even know a place like that could still exist here in America, but it does. I'm with you on the liberty aspect of our rights vs terrorism. As Patrick Henry said ... give me liberty or give me death. One of my stops was Boston and I saw a great bit of history regarding our birth from Britian, the "Sons of Liberty" such as the grave of Samuel Adams and John Hancock, and while I stood over their graves with a tear in my eye and a fluttering sense of shame of our current government, I remembered a rough version of this quote ... "If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." - Samuel Adams Long live the resistance.
