Whatever do the workings of an hypothetical "libertarian" society have to do with the "Libertarian Party"? Certainly, it would be nice if the latter were working towards the former, but the two are not the same.

So? (They are as close as we are going to get.)

I know of quite a few `l'ibertarians who strongly object to the `L'ibertarian Party pledge.

They were in the minority in my party, even *before* the OK City mass-murder proved why we have such a pledge (to distance ourselves from those who would initiate violence). This reply, to a reply to the ENTIRE list, would probably have been better sent privately. The reason that I first sent to the whole list was as much to encourage other posters to proofread their posts as for any libertarian political purpose. <Wishing that this thread would end> PS Interesting letter to the editor RE: Jerry Garcia in today's WSJ.<g> JMR -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: Freedom isn't Freeh iQCVAwUBMFDPzG1lp8bpvW01AQGXRwP9Hxzigw1OCcL1L1u3jSlUvAMtzVPhDkwd 99czrw9jqSXfMhdouGNP3IwjZLXhF0AlmV+chMmMC7Z0xy/Qjznhgut8jIS7IpQN KsXLVwWLCWk0U8nN27WuHVQoImfIG2ONLUUaM36pg1GGFTdQLiJauif2ZYDL6JSJ +E1v7dmnLMc= =xrhl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Regards, Jim Ray "As sensitive and broad-minded humans, we must never allow ourselves to be in any way judgmental of the religious practices of other people, even when these people clearly are raving space loons." -- Dave Barry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PGP key Fingerprint 51 5D A2 C3 92 2C 56 BE 53 2D 9C A1 B3 50 C9 C8 Key id. # E9BD6D35 James M.
