Saw lots of mannikin signs along Hwy. 11 inbound yesterday. Looked like real people. But I love the message to Vote L whenever possible. Out with the old way of doing things and in with the new. I plan on voting L across the board. It sure was refreshing to not have live people distracting traffic.

Yes, I got a good laugh out of his clever idea.

I always got a good laugh about Alan Greenspan the Libertarian Federal Reserve Chairman
and the anti-Fed Libertarian rhetoric.
But I'll give you Fred Fogel is not a bad guy, and quite an original thinker.

The cutouts are clever, but they show a complete lack of human supporters - never a good sign for a campaign! I'd have been tempted to vote for the Libertarian Governor candidate, but in a close race between Dem. vs. Rep., I will not throw my vote away. See Ralph Nader/Pres G W Bush.

It would be great if the Libertarian candidates could/would enliven the two dominant parties primary races. They tend to be more original, frequently more personable, and almost invariable more intellectually interesting, than the usual suspects wheeled out by R's and D's.

Libertarian is a euphemism for anarchist. Somalia has a very light governmental footprint. Don't end up like Somalia.

Just heard Duke Aiona say twice how great the "two party system" is and how it works so well. As if it was official doctrine!

The ideal libertarian foundation isn't typically regarded as immediately obtainable but serves to outline a goal. For most libertarians there exist a recognition of that fact. Perhaps it's better to view the libertarian foundation as a distant future benchmark for a people who no-longer need such governing. Consider it a future people who can live peacefully with one another in an individualistic self controlled society. Technology itself would play a large roll in helping make such a society possible.
IMO that's the goal of the common Libertarian. A future worth working towards. If we peer deeply into the Constitution, we see the very cornerstones of such a society was one day intended. That greater framework was written into the Constitution. IMO

Kelena, look at Somalia in 20 years. If their current government (or lack thereof) holds, I bet they will be one of the wealthiest and safest nations in the region.
