TRANSCRIPT:
I come from a place where no man has a master, and they don't like institutions. Generally, the kinds of people who settled in my remote part of Wyoming were the people that didn't fit in elsewhere. They were renegades and eccentrics and loners, and they didn't like imposed order. They were naturally kind of resonant to the code of the West, which was a form of emergent order, rather than imposed.
They much preferred ethics to laws, and they didn't like the idea of aristocracy. Wyoming is still kind of a one-class state. There isn't the possibility really of having an aristocratic ruler class in a place like Wyoming.
Still Curious?
