Freedom South Texas
Corpus Christi, Texas,
United States
(South Texas, year round growing season most years)
 A self-sufficient, self-reliant small community of creators and doers who would rather be in control of their own lives instead of at the mercy of others for life's necessities. Our goal is to self-govern using the non-aggression principle, which means that you are a sovereign individual in control of your own life and responsible for your own actions, and so long as you do not commit any aggression (overt, such as theft or assault; or passive, such as begging the unearned) you are welcome. In other words, live for your own self and do not expect the unearned from anyone. Charity and its distribution are the province of the giver, not the receiver. This country seems to have forgotten that, and has place the mooch on a pedestal, able to demand from the able.
Contact if interested in becoming a part of this, we welcome all moral and honest people who wish to live as man should live.
