yeah, corporate america has displayed such good citizenship; lets get rid of all those nasty laws the provide minimum wages, workers rights, food inspection, FDA medicine testing, environmental protections, consumer safety laws...

ya know, things were so much better for the average person in the 19th century. Lets forget about how regulation has helped the average consumer in the 20th century. It isn't a big deal, I know we can rely on corporate altruism. It worked so well in the 1800's.

I do not mean to sound like a whiney middle class anti-corporate college student, but c'mon! Read Howard Zinn's "A People's History of The United States of America", and then tell me that the liberatarian party is going to make the US a better place to live.

I think their approach to personal freedom and social responsiblity is good, but a complete laissez faire approach to government is unrealistic as best, and frankly dangerous at worst. All the things that dubya is doing right now that are scary would happen under the libratarians as well. The WTO is scary, do you want to open the door even wider for organizations like that?

I voted for John Brown in 96, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out what I was thinking.

Take care,
Mike
