	I went to interview Applejack next, catching her during her normal workday on her farm on Ponyville’s outskirts.
“Now, ah can only spare a few minutes sugarcube, so say what you need to.”
“Okay, right to it, then. What do you think about the elections coming up, and what do you feel passionately about in terms of politics?”
Applejack lets out a hardy scoff, letting me know exactly what she thinks about my question.
“It won’t change nuthin’. The government’ll always be good fer nuthin’, lettin’ monsters rampage all over, lettin’ criminals get away with evil doin’, spyin’ on me with their drones and their mind control satellites… Heck, the only good thing they do is give me subsidies for mah apples, and even then it’s only good because they almost make up fer the money they steal from me every April.”
“Interesting. So what do you think about social issues? Drug Policy, for example?”
“Let them do drugs. Everypony should be allowed to do whatever they want, long as it ain’t hurtin’ nopony else. If some good fer nuthin’ lefty types want to ruin their bodies and minds, ain’t no skin off my nose. ‘Cept if they come on my property and start peer pressurin’ mah sweet little sister, of course. Then I reserve the right to pump ‘em full of lead with Pa’s blunderbuss that we keep up in the attic.”
“I see. You’re a strong believer in the non-aggression principle, think taxation is theft and are…dedicated to bearing arms and maintaining strict property rights. It sounds like you’re a bit of a libertarian.”
“A library-what now? I ain’t nopony ‘cept a common sense pony.”
“Let me rephrase the statement. What do you think about roads?”
“Hate ‘em. Hoof-worn paths are much better for the cart. Plus, they’re free.”
“And what do you know about Equestria’s Central Bank?”
“Ah know it’s the devil on earth, if that’s what yer askin’.”
“Yeah, I think I have everything I need here. Do you happen to know where a place called ‘Sugarcube Corner’ is?”
