Cast Boolits, USA--our own town?

[Recluse]

I posted a question about paint thinner v mineral spirits, expecting some great answers.

As usual, I was not disappointed.

Then it struck me, with over 11,000 strong and growing, the diversity that exists here could actually be a small town if we ever became of a mind to up and leave and settle/squat/homestead somewhere. Look at the talent we have:

--Farmers and rancher

--Mechanics, machinists, electricians, plumbers

--carpenters and framers

--truck drivers and pilots

--educators and administrators

--managers from all walks of the business world

--cops, soliders and the former of both

--financiers, planners and investors

--medical personnel

I'm sure I've missed a LOT of professions we have here, not to mention experience. So if things get REALLY bad, just take comfort in knowing that we could just chunk it all and become our own small town and probably be quite self-sufficient.

I don't think I want to live in a town with one service station and 10,999 other guys trying to get the wheel weights.

[runfiverun]

woe the rest of the world where our economy is dominated by the lead,brass, and primer standard.
and it would be a fair sized [where i'm from] city, close to 50k with families.

[hornsurgeon]

i bet the crime rate would be quite low!

[Dennis Eugene]

11000, is not what I would call a small town. I lived in a big city for over nine months once that didn't have that many people. Dennis

[2ndAmendmentNut]

It would definitely work. Where is the location for this town? How about TX.

[autofix4u]

Im in when do we move. and I'll bring my own wheel weights.

Let's just make it where it's warm with good hunting nearby. Texas sounds good. I already know a little Spanish.

[Deliverator]

We should all pitch in and buy Montana. All of it.

As any ful kno, we'd have to have out own lead mine.

[Dennis Eugene]

Count me out I ain't leaveing Alaska ya'll bring it up here ain't no free hunting in Texas anyways. Dennis

[dromia]

It'd need a 1000 yrd firing range.

Dan's right. Missouri or Illinois then - and can anyone stomach the thought of Illinois' politics?

[Deliverator]

If we had a few more zeros we could change Illinois' politics... but alas with 11000 we can't do much... if we had like 11,000,000 that would be different.

[lead Foot]

May bee we should move to a little atoll in the Pacific Ocean to get away from politicians. Call it Know Idea Atoll.
Jolly joke
Lead foot;

It'd need a 1000 yrd firing range.

ahh yes - for 44man's short range pistol practice no doubt

[Crash_Corrigan]

I'm gonna have to look into this. There was a place in Missouri where the Indians had a lead mine and I am sure that there is plenty left there.

WE also need a plantation of willow trees. That stuff makes dandy charcoal for black powder. Some Sulphur and we can make Potassium from piles of manure from cattle. We need some of those to eat anyway.

If we could find a couple of thousand acres of land with forests and some arable land this could work. WE could put up a fence around it and keep out illegal immigrants and such.

As for housing..what is wrong with log homes? Easy to build and the material is already on the land.

[Jim]

I nominate Felix for mayor and Crash Corrigan for Chief of Police.
