Prof. B: loved the essay on New Hampshire! My wife and I play a game called “if we controlled DC”. Obviously, skies the limit on what we would do. They would all be at card tables with folding chairs. No A/C. Water out of a garden hose, bring your own lunch. Never thought of $100 and a coat hanger. Anyway, years ago during an NPR interview with Schumer, his fireplace was crackling in the background. In his DC office… can’t make this up. As Babylon Bee says, “they ruin our attempt at satire”. So true.
Agreed, my time in NH at college was.some.of the best of my life. Seacoast New Hampshire is my idea of the perfect location, and it is my goal to live there again someday. Live free or die, death is not the worst of evils.

Great reminder that there is a tonic that can halt Leviathan's cancerous growth. The Nanny & Big Brother state can be put on an obesity reducing diet by limiting the lucrative nature of "service" in the government. Slowing growth by increasing the number of representatives and thereby limiting the rush to solve all that ails us is another important throttle. If we are truly empowered as a people by the ballot box, the jury box and the cartridge box,— then each of those boxes matter and the ballot box needs to become the people's forum, not just a corporate mouthpiece; jury nullification needs to supplant plea-bargaining; and the infringements of the 2A need to be peeled back (yes I want my gay friends defending their marijuana fields with fully automatic weapons and tanks!) ;-)

Much respect, Mike
