  Re: Reagan... not exactly libertarian, but close
 
Steve, (...) True in facts, but facts rarely enter in political debates most of the time. (...) Wow, this is the first time I heard someone mention this, I always thought the same. Fascism / Marxism / Communism is not too fr off in my book. I think (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Reagan... not exactly libertarian, but close
 
(...) Libertarianism is generally considered to be strongly toward the right of the political spectrum. Not at the end, of course: there is no end. The 'political spectrum' is not a line, but a circle, with the far left colliding with the far right. (...) (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) The amusing thing being that Ronny took a paper loss that year and didn't pay income tax (which the papers had a field day with in California and why it sticks in my mind). Bruce (25 years ago, 31-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Reagan... not exactly libertarian, but close
 
Larry, Very interesting, conservatism is close to Libertarian views? Hmm... sounds familiar. : ) ( Outside of all that Christian Right rubbish, which, for the most part, I do not agree with ) Seriously, though, very interesting interview. I keep (...)

  Reagan... not exactly libertarian, but close
 
This is from a 1975 interview I dug up. It's eerie, how fresh some of the ideas still sound to me. This was from when he was governor of California, before his 1976 run against Gerald R. Ford. (URL) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Insider Trading (Was: Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!))
 
Hello Richard: There is more to this than just manipulating stock prices. Existing and new shareholders have to have some comfort that they are been treated equitably and have confidence in the stock market. Capital stock markets are one of the ways (...)

<agreed> (...) the (...) Agreed, it is one thing to post a individual page from a mag, it is another to start scanning a whole series of magazines - especially ones which are quite recent. Scott A (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) "Geeting the irrits" roughly translates to "my fingers are getting numb from too much typing and couldn't keep up with my brain, and my brain failed to register the typo". "Getting the irrits", well, I hope that clears it up. Pete Callaway (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I would argue (we're x-posted to .debate now), that if anything TV should not be held as a standard for what should and shouldn't be done on LUGNET. By nature, TV is ratings hungry.. and if they think they can grab a few more seconds of (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)  
 
  Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!)
 
(...) Purely a question of curiosity, what does "geeting the irrits" mean? Is it a OZism? I can guess from context and I ask because it seems a neat phrase. ++Lar (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Ya. I'll give your post an 80, it's got a good beat and you can dance to it. Seriously, on the main issue, is there anyone who doesn't already know what everyone's position is? The side issues(1) are somewhat interesting if we can get to (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Lego Direct (was Re: Georgia LEGO Outlet is Cool!)
 
(...) This would be perfectly on-topic for .market.theory, BTW, as long as it's about TLC and how it affects the market and vice-versa.
