That too would be acceptable.

I think you are correct that this isn't a training issue. You can't train violent psychopaths not to commit heinous acts against people. You can only put them down like the rabid dogs they are.

There comes a time where violence isn't only justified, it is the correct and moral action. This qualifies.

Speak for yourself, I want a tank. :D

It could also mean he is a left libertarian, we don't know either way but that won't stop republicans from erroneously believing the libertarian vote belongs to them if only we would just quit wasting our time and votes. :D

Yeah, it does hold some folks back from taking a deeper look at libertarian ideas. They just can't let go of the idea that they have the right to tell other folks how to live their lives as long as they took a vote on it. ;)

Yep. Perot didn't cause Bush to lose the election, Bush's term as president cost him the election.

6.8, while there may be some evidence he was placed to spoil, there is equal evidence he wasn't as that specific bundler has a history of supporting libertarian candidates as well in the past. I think it may have been mentioned on here previously, but there are left libertarians who prioritize social issues above fiscal ones. In fact they were there first with regards to the Libertarian Party. The main point I would find difference with your response to Erik is that it is still operating from a left/right Republican/Democrat paradigm and it assumes votes not cast for a third party would have automatically belonged to one of the major parties. That is still an incorrect frame of reference.

Hydrocodone runs about 10-15¢ a pill.

All of them. Eliminate the FDA while we are at it.

I just ran across this story from ABC that contains some exit polling data that should put the "Sarvis caused Cuccinelli to lose" argument to rest. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/11/early-exit-poll-results-tell-a-tale-of-two-republicans/  

http://reason.com/blog/2013/11/06/read-this-if-you-believe-your-candidate   Another good article hitting at the core red vs blue mindset that without a third party, the vote would have belonged to a Republican or a Democrat. I especially like this part.  

  It certainly was! :lol: Next thing we know Yeager will go all Gabe Suarez again and Dolomite will get challenged to a duel. :lol: :rofl:

I no longer have any faith whatsoever that the ending we both see can be avoided or that even if it could the Republicans are the way to do it. So here I am and my principled vote is the only thing I got left. Well...almost the only thing I got left. :whistle:

Here is a very good article that breaks down some of the takeaways that should be learned from the VA race.   http://thefederalist.com/2013/11/05/10-lessons-republicans-virginia/

<Total hijack> Was the documentary "Beyond the Myth"? I watched it the week before last and I was alternately very sad and very pissed off while watching it.

I have a sister. She is as liberal as it gets and I would classify her as a full fledged member of the grievance industry with all her whining about "the patriarchy". Not long after the birth of my daughter I realized that she could possibly be a dangerous negative influence on my daughter. I made the decision to excise her from my family's life. We are better off for it. If a person does not bring anything positive to the table, if they only bring harm, why should they get a pass just because you had the misfortune to lose the genetic lottery and be related to them?

Blaming the Libertarian for taking votes from Republicans is like blaming the attorney for your divorce: there were serious problems with your marriage, the attorney just made it official.   Caroline K. Gorman  

Let's not forget the jury as well. Whether it was a lack of evidence, poor prosecution or jury nullification, they did the right thing as well.

The story on Reason.com states that the hospital billed he victim and is threatening to turn it over to collections. Add a few more zeroes to that check...

I don't think anyone is saying that they are harmless. What I do think is being said is that they aren't as universally, horrendously destructive as they are made out to be. I remember growing up the ads, news stories and after schools specials that said crack would addict you with "just one hit". That's just not true. They say the same thing about meth now. Also not true. Hell, I tried it years ago and couldn't stand it. Way too twitchy, cocaine is much smoother and more pleasant of a high.

I can think of something! They wouldn't stink up the public square anymore with the smell of patchouli and BO when they go picketing.  :hyper:

The number is mostly immaterial. Once is just as bad as 8. All the repeated rapes affect is increase the number of zeros on the check they will have to cut.

This man was figuratively and literally anally raped by the police, the judge who signed the warrant and the doctors who performed the searches. Every single person involved should be held personally, and physically accountable. I do have to give credit where due and commend the doctors at the first hospital who refused to assist due to its obviously being an unethical action.
