Free Staters

The Free State Project (or FSP) is a group of individuals who make the decision to move to different areas around New Hampshire for "liberty in their lifetime" They come from all over the United States. Though they all desire personal freedom, they all have different means of reaching it. Their are Libertarians, Anarchists, Voluntaryists, Ron Paul Republicans, and the list goes on. Some prefer to not even have a label. Many try to change laws through protests, some through the courts systems. Others more blatantly, such as last year's 4:20 rallies. No one person shares the exact same opinions and/or goals, but they all respect one another and work towards their personal freedom.

I see those Free Staters all the time with their signs marching through the streets!

51st state

Countries that currently, or in recent history have depended upon the United States. Often used in an arrogant manner by some Americans who think that somehow showing support towards a nation should somehow give them a stake in that nation. Also often used by people noting that the culture of a country seems, or that a country shows a lot of support towards the US, or because of their cultural similarity to the US.

First usage: The United Kingdom due to the assistance from Americans in World War II, is sometimes a considered a 51st state.
Second usage: The United Kingdom is considered a 51st state due to their government's support of America in the Iraq war.

Empire State Building

A 102 floor art-deco skyscraper in NYC. It stood as the world's tallest building for 41 years before being surpassed by the World Trade Center.
The Empire State Building is now once again the tallest structure in NYC and the second tallest in America.
The actual construction of the building started on St. Patrick's day, March 17. Because it opened during the Great Depression, much of its office space went unused and the building became known as the "Empty State Building".
The ESB holds many records, one less obvious one being the world's longest survived elevator fall, at 75 floors.
Floodlights that light the top of the building change seasonly and for different events.

The Empire State Building is pretty neat, if I should say so myself.
