Eric, I'm not sure of your point, but in this context "NAP" implies neither "New Alliance Party" nor a "pledge". Again, it is the libertarian principle: "Non Aggression Principle". I was never asking whether you believed in "pledging" to it (if that's what you mean), only whether you agreed with its philosophy. Do you?
-Mark +++++++++++++++ [ModeratorNote: Since this poster is NOT stupid, it's apparent that he is attempting mis-direction to a 'bait&switch strawman' (if busted, get folks to look elsewhere) So class, pay attention! :) AlsoSee: LIMITED vs UNIVERSAL Libertarianism http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian/message/51972 -TLP ] I'm sorry. I served as Ron Paul's Travel Aide in his 1988 Libertarian Party Presidential Campaign. At that time Lenora Fulani was the "hottest" thing going around the 3rd party circuit. Her New Alliance Party was the "up and commer" according to the liberal-biased media among 3rd parties. Of course, they almost completely ignored the LP. To give coverage to the Libertarian Party would make Republicans seem moderate and reasonable. So, they splashed Fulani all over the front pages of the NY Times, and other papers, and almost completely ignored a United States Congressman running for President on a 3rd party ticket - Ron Paul. What happened? Ron ended up with 435,000 votes. Fulani, less than half as much with 180,000. If that's not extreme liberal media bias, I don't know what is. But "NAP" is forever ingrained in my mind as New Alliance Party. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who conjures up those images in his/her mind when he/her hears that acronym either. If you all wish to pump up this stupid pledge of yours, you might be better off finding a new acronym. --- In [email protected], "ma ni" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Eric, > > Apparently you are serious.
