I posted it to talk.politics.theory, and Rhonda spread it elsewhere. While we are on the subject, I suggest we move our pointless, inane flames to alt.flame, if you receive it. >Your > "I'll take dame liberty for myself, thank you" was the most > infantile saying i ever heard.

The Libertarians on talk.politics.misc do not seem offended; and in fact one was complimenting me in his response on my "intelligent" criticism and its non-strident tone. So what is *your* problem? > Gene, you and just about everyone on this net, obviously know nothing > about libertarian philosphy. I did try to read a little of a book by Hospers once, but I admit I am not very knowledgeable.

Hardly a fair assessment of either talk.politics.theory or John Hospers. ucbvax!brahms!gsmith Gene Ward Smith/Brahms Gang/Berkeley CA 94720 ucbvax!bosco!gsmith "When Ubizmo talks, people listen."
