Was the message of the SCLC less valid because SCLC members were mostly
black?

I doubt they have LP support!


I'm not looking
to make a put down of the Libertarian Party - I honestly think this is
something that Libertarians need to consider more: if they are touting their
message as so universal, why is such a narrow audience that is listening?

I think, stated that way, it's a fair enough (but not particularly
important) question. I don't know "the answer" but I advanced my theory already.

To wit: Long term benefit to society may not always be visible to all members.

ADM will be a much better company in the long term if it were weaned from ag
subsidy but you may not get them to agree, and they have pretty well paid
lobbyists who lobby for the status quo.

People currently on welfare will be a lot better off in the long term if
they were better educated and had skills commesurate with the needs of the
job marketplace and had motivation to use those skills, but you may not be
able to get Al Sharpton to agree.

What are you saying? Are you saying those "People currently on welfare" are
the ones not joining the LP? i.e. "People currently on welfare" are all but
white males?

Scott A


And so on and so forth.
