What lessons should the LP learn from the most recent election? The message I got from the LP's performance and the result of the election is this - The BOYN Party (Right and Left wings) has a strangle hold on access to mass media. Ort does the Mass media have a strangle hold on it's position as official hand maiden of the BOYN Party? Whatever. Lesson: The process is carefully guarded against disruption. The chances of breaking up the "Two Party" system are fading away from a height in 1992 when Ross Perot ran. Michael Badnarik, a really good Libertarian Candidate got about 400,000 votes, the same as Harry Brown and Andre Morrou before him. The same minority of people keep voting for freedom The same huge majority of people keeps turning a blind eye to Freedom and voting for Tyrant candidate A or Tyrant candidate B. Lesson: The Libertarian message doesn't appeal to most people. Americans don't want to be as free as free can be. George Bush lied like a rug, and started a useless war filled with death and destruction, but not much benefit. The Democrats ran the only guy they could dig up more boring than Gore to run. Like the Bumper sticker said "If Bush wins, it means we *like* this shit." Lesson: Americans are perfectly willing to trade their birthright of freedom for the illusion of freedom. Conclusion. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. That about where I wandered away. -- Jay P Hailey ~Meow!~ MSNIM - jayphailey ; AIM -jayphailey03; ICQ - 37959005 HTTP://jayphailey.8m.com Your Board, Your Wave _______________________________________________ Libnw mailing list [email protected] List info and subscriber options: http://immosys.com/mailman/listinfo/libnw Archives: http://immosys.com/mailman//pipermail/libnw
