I notice Bernie Bastian took a markedly different tack when he took Haas's place at the meeting. "We're not here to tell you to do anything." He was just letting the selectmen know that the federal government had not named a register agent (or whatever they're called in NH), so it lacked jurisdiction in NH. In keeping with the TP tendency to document trivia, he had a letter from the NH Secretary of State verifying that the federal government had not filed ... something. The only law he made reference to was NH RSA 123:1 which ceded jurisdiction to the federal government of all land the federal government owns and a provision of the NH constitution that says, according to Haas and Bastian (I haven't checked), that taxation and protection are riciprocal.

I wondered at first why he was asked a local government to handle what would be a state matter if it were not a complete fantasy. Then I realized that the only taxes the Browns have paid are their local property taxes. By Haas and Bastian's theory no other level of government owes the Brown's any protection of law.

Then I realized that the only taxes the Browns have paid are their local property taxes.

Andthey only paid that when the local government threatened seizure.

The BBQ is not called off. I got a call from Elaine today.


Who wants to make potato salad?

I think the real question should be “Who’s bringing the kool-aid?”
