An investment group is making an experimental city in Honduras that will have no taxes on income, capital gains, or sales. So it’s the ultra-libertarian colony Heinlein predicted, but instead of on the moon, it will be in South America which will probably make it a lot easier to work this.
Wasn’t the whole point of federalism that we could do experiments like this in individual states? But that’s long gone and now all the idiots in California who destroyed their states gets say in all the others. And now South America is going to become the better part of America because they’re actually willing to take chances. Anyway we could do some freedom experiments here? I doubt it; it would be considered too scary to have minimal laws and taxes. And that’s the problem: We’re too sissy for freedom anymore. Still, I guess I’ll work on making Idaho an ultra-libertarian safe-haven. We have lots of guns and potatoes; it’s a good start.
ummm… Honduras isn’t South America.
Bradley,
It’s south of us. So South America.
It all starts with guns and potatoes, that’s what I’ve always said, Frank. Well, more with potatoes since an army runs on it’s stomach. So, we need a symbol for Potatoes! And while we’re at it…

The Honduras experiment is doomed…they’ll never be able to launch giant rocks at their enemies

Guns! And potatoes! And potato guns!
Idaho is pretty awesome, really.
Sorry, Frank, I’m not sure that can be allowed. I understand, according to some imams’ interpretations of an obscure passage of the Koran, that potatoes are disrespectful to Islam. Obama’s DoJ will soon be showing up at your door to confiscate them.
Bacon and eggs and potatoes!
For a little variation, try:
Eggs and bacon and potatoes!
Also, really good is:
Potatoes with bacon and eggs!
Guns are for after breakfast.
Honduras already exiled a former president who tried to violate their constitution (back in 2009).
It makes me think they may be on the right track.
Go Honduras!

*There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Potato.
All my potatoes are nearly free, Unistat. I keep planting the littlest ones from each crop. You’d think I’d be selecting for a smaller potato by doing that, but no, I get lunkers each time (averaging over 5 lbs. / lineal foot of row).
Honduras is in Central America, which is technically part of North America, since it is not a continent of it’s own. I have very high hopes for the Charter City project. I hope the land rights of the Garifuna people will be respected, but other than that, this will be the Golden Age of Honduras. They are also planning an inter-ocean railroad …about a hundred years after the U.S. had one. it’s about time!
Zelaya was ejected because he was a crook with commie buddies who committed treason. He talked about how much he loved the poor people while he robbed them blind. The long ongoing issues of landownership will finally be addressed and resolved to smooth the path for future prosperity. Honduras is always in my prayers.
