Although I dont much about Russell, except that he has been around a long time, employs a neighbor of mine who seems happy there, sells an ice cream brand we love, seems fairly liberal but manages to run a company well.... and uses solar to defray elec costs, recycles, etc.
These are the things I admire as a libertarian.
But will keep my eyes/ears/mind open for the next few months to see what all the candidates have to say.
Robguz, although I agree with you in theory - EBT should be used for good, healthy food - not candy, maybe not snake oil water (if thats the case and I dont know), but these are not choices we get to make for others. If I want government to stay out of my life, then others deserve the same respect with their lives. We do not get to pick and choose which liberties we can enforce.... although it seems to be so at the moment with our government. okay this is heading off into a different rant!
