         Re: LP POINT 3 —Bruce Schlickbernd
      (...) No, my understanding of Libertarian philosophy is that you can say, "Irish aren't allowed." Or blacks, or Jews, or fat people, or whatever. People are free to boycott companies/individuals that do this, of course. I'll snip the rest 'cause I (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I regard this as a much bigger point than the one that (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
