I received 1 st loans when I was 20 and that aided my family a lot. However, I need the short term loan as well.

Or more specifically a stateless society?

The plan is agorism. http://agorism.info. http://FreeMeProject.com has some further thoughts. Actually, having a party and speechifying *is* part of the plan. Especially when the trade that occurs is agoristic and the ideas being discussed are libertarian.

"We can and will achieve liberty."

And what is the plan? Nowhere do you mention a plan to bring about liberty. Having a party and speechifying is not a plan.

Yeah, we created Expo Hours at AltExpo#3 at PorcFest’08, a printed certificate hours-based money. The certificates, a 1 Hour and a 1/10 Hour version, were designed by a Porc (James) and printed by a Porc (Dan). We recruited 13 merchants that would accept them and we redeemed them on the final day, Sunday. Some still have kept theirs as souvenirs. The Board of Governors (Jack, John and Pat) met at PorcFest and issued resolutions, hired an auditing firm (Carol), retained exchange agents (Dan and Tom). The Expo Cafe accepted them for coffee and snacks and also operated an exchange next to the espresso machine, known as the CIA, or “Central Issuing Authority.” We had some requests to resume the system after PF, but haven’t done it (even though we still have the certificates in the vault (OK, it’s a cheap Staples cash box). See a specimen on NHFree.com (search for Shire Hours)

We’ve also promoted Shire Hours (shirehours.com) extensively, holding workshops in Boston and in Bristol, NH in early ’09, leading to the recruitment of 2/3 of the SH users now on the system. I still think that’s a usable system and we continue to train people on use of that system. There was talk of producing a training video.

Here's the specimen of the Expo Hour (shown is a 1/10th certificate): http://nhunderground.com/forum/index.php?topic=14….

We also had a 1 Hour cert. with a picture of a pizza on it.

We've talked about a revival of the Universal Trade Hour system, developed in Boston, but never launched.

What I don’t understand is how getting arrested all the time proves anything. All that does is give you a police record, forces you to support the state by paying them and shows the cops that you have a history of causing trouble. You are directing them right towards you purposefully.
