Does Jesse see himself as a "boy" rather than "man?" There are several possible interpretations:

1) Jesse sees himself as lacking authority or physical presence. Perhaps Jesse lacks power or control over his present circumstances. If Jesse feels powerless in the daily conduct of his life, it's possible that he feels infantilized, i.e., that he feels a lack of ownership of his own destiny.

2) Jesse is, in fact, young. This seems to be invalidated by the fact that Jesse says that he graduated from college 6 years ago, which would put his age in the 26-30 range. Perhaps Jesse sees himself as emotionally immature? There is some validity in this, as Jesse feels a need to pick fights with religious types and chooses the location "Instigating Revolution," diplaying a iconoclastic behavior that is common among adolescents. Of course, this begs the question: is Jesse a bad boy or an attention craving mental adolescent in an elderly body?

What about the choice of Zoidberg as an avatar? Futurama is a derivative program, and Zoidberg is essentially an ancillary character. Picking what is considered a vastly inferior program and an ancillary character validates Jesse's view of himself as someone who tears down the traditional view. Where the unwashed masses might pick Milhouse as an avatar, Jesse stands above it all and picks Zoidberg. Telling, and interesting. I won't even get into the possible interpretatiosn of the phallic symbols dangling in front of Zoidberg's mouth.

I invite you to analyze the avatar and moniker of someone who irritates you.

Jesse, bad boy
Just come look at what your brother did,
To that girl's precious little whore of a body

Oh no! What does your earth and field shattering ability to psycho-analyze without the proper knowledge of the subject tell you about me now?

That you're a jackass. But I had deduced that earlier.

I might've liked them if their music didn't make my gullet turn inside-out.

*goes to the Free State Project site*

So the whole point is to get 20,000 people to move to New Hampshire? That's it? That's your big plan? You think that by moving 20,000 people into a new state is going to change how that state votes?

I am a member of the Free State Project, which is an informal group that has decided to take one small step in an effort to restore the principles of liberty back into american values, something which has been lost due to the tactic of "incrementalism" which politicians have used to chisel away at this countries foundation for the last two hundred, year and the last 50 years in particular when it has gotten exponentially worse.

While every member of the Free State Project has their own personal belief and ideology, the one common denominator is that we are absolute believers in liberty. We are silly enough to believe in the principles upon which this country were founded.

No member can speak for any other, other than to say we all believe absolutely in liberty. However, as for myself, I believe in promoting laissez-faire capitalism, and as a start, would like to see this country get back to its Constitutional roots. I would like to see the U.S. Constitution interpreted and applied, the way the Founders of this country wanted it to be applied. Specifically, this starts with the abolition of about 90+ percent of the current federal government, whos myriad alphabet soup agencies are not authorized to exist as per constitutional mandate.

Doing this has many beneficial effects. First, it goes a long way towards restoring liberty in this country. Secondly, it puts approximately 90 percent more money back in your pocket, where it belongs. You earned it. It is yours. So many people in this country are concerned about the fact that they cannot afford the necessities of life. They cannot afford it, primarily because Uncle Sam has reached into your pocket and taken the majority of your money.

What exactly are "Free Staters" doing?

Well, what we are doing is pretty bold, and takes a bit of committment. We are taking over the state of New Hampshire, slowly but surely. We are people from all over the country, who have vowed to move to New Hampshire, get involved one way or another, and change that state for the better. Ultimately, our goal would be for the "domino theory" to take effect, and to change other states. However, this country is so far gone, that we're just taking things one state at a time.

Why New Hampshire? Well, for one.... because thats the state members chose in a vote. Secondly, it happens to be one of the freest states in the entire country. Fewer states stack up against New Hampshire, other than Wyoming (which many members consider NH's equal), and a few other states like Montana.

The state motto is "Live Free or Die" and the state has had a long history of liberty oriented attitude which is embodied in the state motto. We are the only state in the entire country that allows the Right of Revolution against tyranny, and this Right is actually codified in the NH state Constitution! In these politically-correct times, few or no other states would dare to have such an audacious pro-liberty attitude... but New Hampshire has always had that attitude, as we were one of the original colonies, and one of the more staunch supporters of revolt against Britain, who at the time was our opressor.

Well... now, there is a new spectre that haunts this country. It is not England. It is leviathan. It is, the federal government who has expanded to near omnipotent levels, something this countries Founders had never intended. We know that they did not intend this, because thousands of pages of writing to verify this exists to this day to prove this point. Constititional scholars know this. Arguably, many politicians know this also, as many are quite educated. Problem is, politicians just dont care. We live in new times, and big government is simply where its at. With "big government" comes less liberty, and less money in your pocket.

So how many Free Staters are there? ... Well, I am not exactly sure what the current number is, but many thousands of people support the project in one way or another, and many people have made the move their already.

Recently, 1,000 additional people pledged to move to New Hampshire within approximately 2 years. Thats on top of the people who have moved there already, and have been there for about 2 years now.

The work these 'early-movers' have done is just phenomenal. These people have real intenstinal fortitude. They are really sticking it to 'big government' every chance they get (and are getting arrest records to prove that they are so dedicated that their willing to put their ass on the line). Of course, every Free Stater tackles the big government problem in his own way. Some work inside the system by actually running for office (and getting elected!), while others take more unorthodox approaches.

Well, good luck. Hope it works out for you. If it doesn't, well, New Hampshire's a great state to live in anyhow.

Fighting for a the rights of people who don't know enough to invest in private accounts and/or are too lazy to do so is a huge waste of time and life. And we all know that time is money, so quit wasting money.

I pity you and your attempts at inevitable failure.
