You do as you wish and I will do as I wish and we can all be happy. It is a simple matter really. I see no reason that we should have to come to a consensus on any of these issues.<br /><br />@Jake, I would love to see Libertarians become more strategic. The problem (if you can really call it a problem) as I see it is that all the Libertarian great minds and leader types are too busy running successful business ventures and creating wealth to bother with running for office. They have no real desire to hold power over others so getting those types to get involved with politics is difficult at best. Without strong leadership, it is hard to form a winning strategy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518333375761044512.post-63701852773907513332010-03-09T20:01:27.030-08:002010-03-09T20:01:27.030-08:00Hmmm.

I've come to the conclusion, like James Halperin, that some sort of libertarianism will either become the new way of doing things, by default, or we'll slide toward a very well-enforced totalitarianism (and democide).<br /><br />I wish I could have a big roundtable discussion with all of you supergeniuses to reveal what I've learned about how to make that possible. I suppose whether you'd agree with me or not enough to collude is a separate question. (I've been putting the Libertarian Party and libertarian causes on the ballot for the past 8 years, and the Libertarians are mostly hide-bound Republicans who have no strategic vision, and won't listen to a thing I say because I have no degree and I've made a lot of enemies sticking up for my principles. In that regard, Democrats are more willing to question what they think they know, so I've been lately hanging out with libertarians who used to be leftists: the trouble with them is they have no money to get anything done. ...LOL.)Jake Witmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770905367613837798noreply@blogger.com
