Why is that? Before this, the last libertarian I ran across was a few decades ago. And yet, here, they are legion. Why is that?

Make them more willing to explore alternatives, even as the rest of the world explores the latest hollywood movie? --linas ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=53020802-76f4d8
