Hmm.... I am not a huge fan of the entire political process, I am not a
huge fan of anything in politics, really. I pick my sides and the people
I support, I never even got involved really until I started seeing how
screwed up things were when I went to Ohio State. I learn new things
every day, but sometimes, it gets tiresome. I like the saying, I think
it's time for another Tea Party. I guess that explains my frustrations
with the whole thing. I think the government will grow bigger and bigger
until something catastrophic happens, no matter what it is. Maybe then
people will wake up.

I sense your frustration too, Larry, I know the process makes you and
other Libertarians frustrated, but I guess I am too much of a pessimist
to really believe things will change. I hope they will, I hope maybe one
day we will see a freer society for everyone, who knows? I am really
frustrated with the way off.topic.debate has been going lately. Just
because I happen to believe something different, that doesn't go along
with political correctness, I am somehow dumb, extremist, etc. I have
been getting this for 6 years now, and it is very tiring. Anyway, I am
babbling so I think I will sign off. I think I agree with you around
95-99% of the time, Larry, so I can't be all that bad, except for
leftists perspective!
