Heh, I'd support either of our plans. Neither is likely to happen though.

Make it happen: http://www.lp.org
As long as we don't believe it will happen, it won't happen. Self-fulfilling prophecy.

Doing an independent study project on the LP next semester.

It's always looked promising to me, now I want to be a bit more educated about it. I'll let you know what I come back with.

They aren't perfect, but compared to the current Coke vs. Pepsi voting choices, they look pretty good.

My thoughts exactly. My interest has been kicked up by a professor here at MSU in an American history class. She's really piqued my interest in the Constitution, States' rights, and the anti-federalist side of the founding fathers' debate. Not that I wasn't interested before, but now I've got a lot more ammunition to support what I've always felt in my gut.

Whodathunkit? A professor at a public university turns me libertarian?

Funked, you have my vote in 2004. Though I still don't think we want to pull out of Iraq too quickly.

Do you honestly believe that with all the technological advances we've made over the past 100 + years, we could not develop an alternative fuel source?

The bottom line is, big oil does not want alternative energy. They've moved to block it in the past and will continue to do so. They help propogate our dependance on saudi oil and the continued funding Saudi provides to terrorism.

Muck, do you support our president and still have these same feelings about 'Big Oil'?? If so, how?? Our president IS big oil...

Because each one assassinated would equal two more zealots lookin to bomb something...

Yep all the Evidence long before Iraq was invaded pointed to SA being the bigger threat, But you can't invade your friends and allies now can you.
Politics are sickening.
