I haven't had punches thrown (many of the people I've met who refuse to
vote claim to be pacifists, and tend not to throw punches, at least not
at *me*), but man, some of them can be really touchy when you point out
how not voting means they oughtn't complain. The friend I had lunch
with today told me that she'd been telling someone who wasn't going to
vote, "By not voting, you're saying that you're OK with the way things
are now." The someone wasn't entirely happy with that, but didn't
argue. (It's a bad idea to have knock-down drag-out fights at work.)

Most Libertarian arguments are best made in 3-minute segments and not
itty-bitty soundbites, I think. (This is off the top of my head and
thinking about various Lib arguments I've heard and read.)
I've seen some Libertarians make a fair bit of sense in writing. Hm,
all my real research (except the reaction to the governor's race) was
based on *printed* material....
