You could probably find some land here: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/21534416/free-state-project-new-hampshire-libertarians-matthew-hongoltz-hetling

Libertarians are like 5-year-olds who whine "why do we have to have rules?" Propose that the kid make up a game with no rules.

Adult: "Will we play it with a ball?"

Kid: "Yes!"

A: "Well, you just made a rule, didn't you?"

K: "Oh."

About 10 years ago, there was a libertarian project started down in Argentina (I think it was Argentina--too lazy to Google this right now). Buy your place NOW!!! for the low-low starting price of $265,000 or something. The promoters got a hundred or so morons to send their dough, then just took off with the money.

Talk to a libertarian and you'll find that they're absolutely convinced they're the smartest person in the room. That is true provided they're alone.

K: "Yeah, *I* just made a rule. Not you, me. As long as I'm in charge, that's all that matters."
