I do not doubt he was sincere. I was as well. I absorb abuse the way a Russian lumberjack washes his balls in ice water. In other words, it doesn't bother me a bit. It is no reflection on me.

In the interest of peace, I will examine the questions. However, I must say to each question: Where is such dire prediction in any LP party literature? I must have missed that newsletter.

State and local parks would remain under the control of the states as per the 10th Amendment. I believe the Libertarians would reform the national park system by giving individual park administrators greater autonomy but requiring their operations to be self-supporting. http://www.cato.org/pubs/handbook/hb109/hb_109-47.pdf

By turning to government for environmental protection, we've placed the fox in charge of the hen house -- and a very large hen house it is! Governments, both federal and local, control over 40% of our country's land mass. Unfortunately, government's stewardship over our land is gradually destroying it.

We should replace harmful government agencies like the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) with more agile, free-market alternatives. The mission of the FDA is to protect us from unsafe medicines. In fact, the FDA has driven up healthcare costs and deprived millions of Americans of much-needed treatments. For example, during a 10-year delay in approving Propanolol Propranolol (a heart medication for treating angina and hypertension), approximately 100,000 people died who could have been treated with this lifesaving drug. Bureaucratic roadblocks kill sick Americans.

Information about products and services is subject to market demand just like every other feature of the things we buy. If you don’t believe me, try running a grocery store without putting price tags on or near the canned peaches.

The fun is at the "Go for it" thread. That was uncalled for in my book. I tell MM to chill when I see him being the aggressor, and I will do the same with you.. I don't know why I care... I guess I'm just sick of a thread turning into a bitch fight when I'm looking to extract facts and viable opinions. (cant we all just get along?)
