It is easier to do things here because it is a small state. There are certainly more rich and famous in say California and New York, but New York could increase its liberty rating by 30% and still be worst in the country. New Hampshire has the largest state legislative body in the country, and pays them $100/year (plus mileage). But our state motto is "Live Free or Die" and we take it seriously - if you want to die because of not wearing a seatbelt that is your choice. Getting federal funding is not very important compared to our liberty. -- Christopher Booth

Some of the world's experts on privacy live here too. > New Hampshire has its elected officials, like any other state. So, I can't image the elected ones are behind the increased privacy. Unless NH politicians are so far "ahead of the curve" compared to politicians in other states? Or, there could be a "secret society" that largely runs NH & wants better privacy? Surely, NH doesn't have any more powerful visitors than say, Connecticut, Hawaii, Washington DC or several others? "Don't require seat belts?" Kinda behind times, isn't it? Does NH allow "new fangled motorized automobiles" on the streets? :D Aren't seat belts a federal requirement, or if not, doesn't a state choosing not to require them, lose a whole lot of federal funding?
