I can't sell goods in public without a permit.

I can't drive a car without car insurance.

I can't drink a beer in public.

I can't have a television bigger than 42''.

I can't walk outside in my town past a certain hour without a permit (I'm 18 and not on house arrest)

......... if u can think of more please share.......................

Sounds like NJ is a liberal Utopia. Go west, young man.

Chop a tree or hug a tree, we don't care.

No laws against guns, except in Catron county where it is illegal NOT to own a gun.

Can't smoke it here either, but good scotch is better.

Other than the busiest highways, people sell stuff from their trucks all the time. Love those pinon nuts.

Why would you want to?

Pour it in a Pepsi can like the rest of America.

60" hanging on my wall - no sign of the police.

Walk whenever, wherever.

This is a whole seperate worthy debate.

The debate between:

A world where man can more easily reach his potential
vs
A world where everyone is given the same

I think either way the resources will be concentrated in a minority, but that minority is pretty large in America.

I always wanted to go west, particularly the southwest, it sounds great, like a land little changed by time. I wouldn't try surviving down there though without a good chunk of change first. When's the best time to visit? I've been mentally planning this trip a couple years now.
