Day Dreaming: Incorporating a NES Town

[June4th]

Let's say we find an open parcel of land somewhere in Southern NH and found a new town with like-minded fellows. Let's bluesky some ideas about how to make it 'right'. Some of my random thoughts:

1. There will be no public worker unions.
2. A private K-12 school
3. A watch tower at each major entry point with supporting fire positions nearby
4. A town ordinance that require each able-bodied adult to be a member of the town militia
5. A rapid alert system to each home to for a modern day 'Minuteman' respond mechanism
6. A shooting range at NE corner of the town (so you can shoot most time during the day with the sun in the back)
7. An underground concrete bunker near the center of the town

Your ideas are welcome!

Can we get OK for naming the town 'Badass'?

This somewhat goes without saying, but:
8. Gun ownership is mandatory.

Oh cool, just like how health insurance is mandatory now.

A private K-12 school

Keep in mind that NH has a "donor and recipient town" education funding program and if your ability to pay exceeds what you "need" (according to the state) your town will be required to turn funds over to the state so that it may be distributed to recipient towns for education. It's similar to the MA system of state aid, but the difference between towns that give and towns that take is less obfuscated.

Is Cheyenne Mountain up for sale yet?

Great idea

Bad idea, you have to let people be stupid. You can show them the path, but you can't make them walk it. It's a nice Idea though, and it worked in Switzerland for long time.

I was a '52' - I'll run for perimeter security committee - or school janitor...

 

[richc]

I'm in if I can own and operate the town's liquor store.

I figured JDubois would want that job.

We would be labeled a militia and right wing extremist, and be under scrutiny

Great, that means I get to move

I can help with town security, seeing that's what I did in the USAF.

So?

Hopefully we will retain that label

I'd wear that tag with pride.

We're just daydreaming. Everyone has the right to post what they think would make for the perfect town.

This. And everybody has the right to out themselves as a big government freedom hating commie.

Not everyone needs to own a gun - but you need a permit not to.

 

[HooVooLoo]

I want to run the armory, and be able to blow shit up.

No one ever said that daydreams had to be practical or make sense. I just think everyone owning a gun would keep crime pretty low. How to go about making sure everyone owned a gun was not a factor in my daydream.

On a more serious note: Let's look at the OP. Item 3 (or 4, don't remember) was that each and every able-bodied adult be a member of the town militia. If you're going to make that a requirement, ensuring they own their own gun kinda goes along with that. Further, requiring they be able to pull their own weight if called on to defend the town seems to be the opposite of being a big-government commie.

I hope you're kidding!!!!

It would be like the wild west, and blood will be flowing in the streets

Go to Chicago, where CC is illegal. Blood is already flowing in the streets.

Your sarcasm meter is busted.

I would also like to settle in an area where arable land is abundant so each family can grow their own food if they so choose. Just no chicken or pig farms. Man those are stinky!

Maybe to establish a 'Galt-like' monetary system that the preferred method of payment within the town is precious metal.

So only esthetically pleasing farming is allowed?

They did this in Kennesaw, GA & the crime rate plummeted. The key is putting that fear into any criminally-minded individuals. It's not really meant to be enforced.

I'm out anyway -- apparently I'm just not conservative enough.

By Precious metal you mean ammo right.
