A libertarian is interested in specific, accurate, fine-grained government, not too much, not too little.

If he doesn't, then he's not a libertarian. -- ⇒⇐ glen ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
