Today's article is a little late because I spent the evening at a local Atlanta event honoring Neal Boortz.
 


This is Jamie Dupree, Clark Howard, Sean Hannity, Eric Erickson, Hermain Caine, Neal Boortz, and Jeff Foxworthy

 
Boortz is a radio talk show host based here in Atlanta and syndicated throughout the country. Some call him conservative but he has always been a pragmatic libertarian. I've been listening to Neal since I moved to Atlanta in 1987. His last show is next week. While Neal has been doing this about as long as I've been alive, he has said on many occasions that he could continue. Instead he is “going galt”. Instead of an enclosed canyon in the Colorado mountains he is going on the road. He has moved to Florida to escape state income taxes and is keeping his income as low as possible.

Others in the country are doing similar things. Boortz says his doctor of many years shut his practice down the day after the election. Some are setting up armed compounds, there's a run on guns and ammmo, and state legislatures are considering nullifying federal law.

People who are pushed into a corner start to work to find ways to either escape or protect themselves from being pushed any further. I desperately hope we can find a way to live together without trying to push each other into corners.
