New Hampshire Staging Well-Manicured Puppet Protests

Public displays of affection are commonplace enough, but what about public displays of marijuana? According to the Globe, these—along with unlicensed manicures—are the weapons of choice in anti-government Granite staters' fight against the man. Known as Free Staters (part of the Free State Project), these libertarian-minded folks oppose government regulations by subverting them in smi-harmless ways, with puppets (unlicensed puppet shows), nail polish, and plants (putting 'em in public spaces). Free Staters have also filmed legal proceedings; we've had our own run-ins with legal opposition to filming. These seem like some harmless ways to make a statement, but will such adorable resistance have any effect?
