As well they should.
While the LP is derided, and rightly so, for being a bit
frothy/extremist/wacko, the actual sentiment of the country as a whole,
which is more important, really, than what brand of politician is
winning, is swinging smartly in the more freedom, less government
direction, and that's a good thing.

Glad to hear that. Have you looked into the FIJA? Pretty powerful stuff.
http://www.fija.org ... there's some public opinion having a great deal
to do with (getting rid of shoddy) law. Good thing too.

Apparently you didn't get your money's worth from the other NEA either,
I see a typo in there somewhere. <grins, ducks and runs, t7pos are a
cheap shot, not worthy of an opponent of Ed's calibre>
But seriously, it IS a waste. See my thread a while back about art being
worth what a willing buyer will pay for it. The art the NEA funds
doesn't seem to have any willing buyers (else why would they fund it?),
so it must indeed be worthless. Please explain what could be more of a
waste than spending our money on worthless goods?
