On a business trip to Japan in 2000, I was stunned to discover the Tokyo subway still ran on the honor system. No turnstile jumpers, just trust. Flash-forward to my life here in New Hampshire, and the same principle thrives: roadside farm stalls, unlocked and unmanned, with a coffee can or a Venmo QR code and a simple request—take what you need, leave what you owe. No cameras. No signs warning of prosecution. Just… trust. It’s not just charming—it’s culture. Live free and act right. One more reason I love living in the Free State!
