Guess what Eric? 70/70 or 80/80 or whatever doesn't matter. The NOLAN chart (That's right it's the NOLAN chart) does not determine who is or is not a libertarian. It never has and it NEVER EVER EVER WILL.
One and only one thing determines whether or not someone is consistent with the libertarian premise, and that is whether or not they agree with and adhere to the Non-Agression Principle. That is what libertarianism has ALWAYS been about from the very first day to the very last. --- In [email protected], "Eric Dondero Rittberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > [ModeratorNote: > > What 'Justifies' IINITIATING Physical Force? > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/51720 > > -TLP ] > > > > Again, how do you think Kinky Friedman would score on the World's > Smallest Political Quiz? > > My guess 80/80, about identical to Jesse Ventura. > > Do you disagree with that assessment? > > Would you say Kinky would get a 70/70?
