As a consequence I expect that some freedom seekers will shift their attention from the forlorn shores of the free nation movement to the more comfortable hope that majority rule can restrain itself. Any levelheaded critic of the plan of this Free Nation Foundation might point out that what we are trying is unprecedented. But, before this critic returns to the usual mode of activism I would hope to hold his attention a bit longer. Well, I do not know. So I have one foot in each.
Many libertarians now advise a third approach.
To me this advice suggests accepting the role of mouse in a game of cat and mouse. But I am glad that some libertarians take this approach. It assures that, whatever the future brings, at least one subspecies of our line will survive. Recently I saw a scene in a TV nature show which reminded me of our situation. A nervous zebra in a herd was looking back in the direction where the herd had just been attacked by a pack of hyenas, and where the hyenas were starting their meal on the formerly weakest member of the herd.
