> An aspiring sophomore has suggested that Libertarians are hypocrites

>      Merely being descended from an oppressed people does not entitle

-- Or if certain users would take more care interpreting what they reply to,
and spent more time learning how to understand political humor.  
"Libertarians -- second only to feminists in the sense-of-humor category."
