  12. Agreed about the bad name Libertarians get, Brett, but maybe if Lyndon
  13. LaRouchewasn't their best-known proponent, they wouldn't have that image.   :)
  14.  
  15. My question is, Why do we have to have libertarianism?  Why do we have to
  16. have socialism, or other -isms that tend to that end of the spectrum?  What's
  17. wrong with democracy?
  18.  
  19. If democracy "doesn't work," what makes you think libertarianism would work?
  20.  
  21. Of course, democracy includes libertarianism and socialism.   :)
  22.  
  23. So, in the end I think we'll be okay.
