And I have the privilege (right!) to question the outcome of your vote. __________________________ > Broadly speaking . perhaps you think I should do all the work, but allow > yourself to make all the big decisions on my behalf. ____________________________________________________________________ The only decision that I will make on "your" behalf is whether I will continue to vote for the Libertarian Party. I have decided not to do so as long as that Party refuses to oppose United State foreign policy aggression. __________________________ > Did you personally take the time to attend the Convention? ____________________________________________________________________ No, I did not.

And I would further submit that the Party leadership should have - if they had any intentions of keeping the Party Platform - been CONSPIRING to prevent - not abet - such action. ____________________________ > My guess is your answers are 1) No you did not attend, and 2) Yes you know > in advance.
