I know this is an unpopular thread, especially among those of you not from
the good 'ol US of A, but this election is more important than you folks may
think. The whole world seems to be moving toward economic socialism, and
personal freedom is on the line. This is the first and last post I will
write on the subject. If you are a US citizen, take the time to read this
and check out the libertarian party online at www.lp.org
Al Gore is a socialist, a liar, and likes to sell my country out to the
highest bidder (like the Chinese) He also seems to think that HE is better
equipped to spend MY money than I am. His plans on medicare and social
security will move the USA more in the direction of Canada and the UK (big
government controlled socialized programs) and will eventually result in
higher taxes.
George Bush has the Christian Coalition shoved up his ass. His tax cutting
plan relies too much on a PROJECTED surplus. If his plan included massive
cutting of governmental programs to facilitate a tax break, he'd be worth
his salt.
Nader is a tree hugging extremist (though I like him alot more than Gore
because of the extent of his Character). And he lacks the personality and
charisma needed to ever get elected.
Buchanan is a loyal republican who was sent to destroy the Reform party from
the inside. (And doing an excellent job) He is NOT a racist, he is a
patriot. The media just does't like him.
The only vote that will do a damn thing to change the eroding conditions of
this country is a vote for the Libertarian Party.. ie, a vote for Harry
Browne. Harry Browne will appear on the ballot in more states than any
other minor party candidate. This includes Nader and Buchanan!
Libertarians say this:
*Government Doesn't work. It causes more problems than it solves. It's
size must be dramatically reduced to the constraints as described in the
constitution. With the exception of the retrenchment period after WW2,
every president, Republican or Democrat, has left a government larger than
the one he inherited. Government should be removed from every area not
specified in the constitution: Education, regulation, crime control,
welfare, housing , transportation, health care, agriculture....etc...
* Eliminate the income tax. It is illegal and unconstitutional.
* Get govermnent out of Social security. Sell trillions of dollars worth
of uneeded federal assets and use the proceeds to purchase private
retirement annuities for everyone dependent on SS now, so that your
grandparents and parents would have guaranteed contracts for retirement.
Then ELIMINATE the 15% SS tax, which is like throwing your money down a
rathole.
*Balance the budget by selling off federal assets, and use the proceeds to
pay off the federal debt. ENTIRELY. AND FOREVER.
* Eliminate the war on drugs. It is the greatest cause of violent crime in
our country, and laws written to support the war on drugs are the greatest
danger to your personal freedom. (The law that enables the govt. to sieze
and auction off your car in NY when you are caught with a DWI (3 beers) is
an offshoot of the property siezure law for drug dealers. Yes, they sieze
and auction your car BEFORE you are found guilty / innocent by a trial of
law!
* Pull the United States Armed Forces out of everyone's business. Remove
us from the entangling alliances that Thomas Jefferson warned us against.
If we would stop sticking our noses in everybody else's business, we would
no longer be hated by so many people across the globe, and there would be
less concerns about terrorists attacking US targets. It is only a matter of
time before a major terrorist attempt is successful on US soil.
A vote for the Libertarian Party is a vote for FREEDOM, both financial and
social. This list is full of free thinkers, people who don't follow the
grain. This election affects you in more ways than you think.. Consider
the current state of the nightllife in NYC. They are trying to close the
nightclib "Twilo" because 2 people took E (or some other drug), entered the
club and OD'd. Twilo didn't sell them the drugs, but the city is tring to
close them down. What about all the antiquated zoning laws that make it so
difficult to operate a bar / club in the NYC area? What about the Cabaret
law? I feel like I've been transformed onto the set of "Footloose"
Yesterday Sullfolk County (Long Island) passed a law that prohibits you from
talking on your cell phone while you drive! WE ARE BEING OVER GOVERNED. It
affects all types of artistic expression, inlcuding IDM.

and find out.
I promise never to mention this again.
