<nettime> experimental politics of the state

[Ryan Griffis <grifray@yahoo.com>]

borders to gain a critical mass of consensus, with

from

I don't like to go places that don't let me have my
gun," said Ms. Casey, 33, who sells memberships to a
Las Vegas survivalist training institute and models
for comic books (her likeness has graced the cover of
one called Reload). Her New Hampshire plans include
starting eight businesses "because nine out of every
10 fail, and I've already started two, so I need to do
eight more."

"I want to be a billionaire in my lifetime," she
added, "and I don't want to live among people who
think that's bad."
