I noticed that you put 'libertarianism' under your post.  My question is off-topic but since I see 'Ron Paul for President' everywhere.. what do you think of the libertarians' approach for getting to office? I did go to one press conference/meeting for a libertarian here in TX, and I think they are more devoted to their outlook than even Republicans are. However, thinking political strategy, I do not believe that anyone will ever get voted into office if they do not try to hook up with independents. They will never get the voter's base needed to get into office, and more so than an independent, running for very high office(s) seems to be a waste of time and money that actually undermines them. In other words, they are being looked at as 'oh, one of those running again' when they never win. You probably can correct me with a few success stories in other parts of the US, but on the whole, libertarians run on principle, not on strategy and likelihood of a person to appeal to voters. You can tell I'm starting to think politics again. Hence I'm asking you since you always have an intelligent, thoughtful point of view. Btw.. how are the girls? Hope your family is doing well. Has your older daughter started school yet? Mine are due on monday.. hooray!!  My youngest will stay in school till 2:30, instead of noon like last year. Can't wait.Take care and you'll see me around more often,IngridIngridSat, 25 Aug 2007 20:16:11 -0000
