It looks like everyone has missed one big point in all this. Even if the Libertarian Party took 80% of Congress as well as the presidency in the next election, most of your fears would be groundless anyway.

Such a radical change isn't going to happen. The L.P. will have to modify its platform to generate the most support from the most people.
And in this case, I see that as a good thing either way. As long as ANY change is made, even small ones, it's a hell of a lot better than the same-old we get with every single election NOW.

The L.P. can afford to have what looks like a radical agenda because it has no power at this time. If it gets any real political power it will soften its agenda and the sky will not fall.


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
