yunno, it is interesting how the social freedoms of the democrats somehow agrees with the lack of economic freedoms of the party. and similarly how the religious restriction of social freedoms integrates with the economic freedom (in theory at least) policy of the republicans.

it would be neat if the four possible stances on those two issues created four real parties that worked, instead of 2.

like we would have:

1. the populist reformers like M.O.M., who is for big government as well as religious social controls.

2. normal republicans like dallastigers and jetstorm, who like religion as well as the free market.

3 normal democrats like cottonbowl66 who dislike economic freedom but favor social freedom.

4 libertarians like me and colonel hapablap (simpsons reference from air show episode) who favor freedom from economic as well as social/religious regulation.

the point is, i would like to see how an election would go if we had 4 viable candidates, from thoise parties. but i guess i know the answer, the republicans and democrats would destroy, even though it seems that i know alot of people who are idealogically aligned with the two other "fringe" parties i mentioned.

maybe these people who would vote for these other two parties exist in higher amounts than we realize, but we never vote that way because we dont think we have a real chance, or don't think about it much. i know i am guilty of this. i know if i was a nader supporter, i might not vote for him because i would dislike bush so much, just as i am a bit scared to vote for harry browne now for fear of a democrat. maybe the smart thing to do is just forget the short-term consequences and really vote third or fourth party.

Martin, you cut me to the quick! Never have I felt so left out and ignored in all my life. And I thought you liked me! But then again, CB may be right. Perhaps I am just a misfit.

i am sorry. feel free to align yourself with 1 of the following four parties and then alter the party name accordingly:

the M.O.Macrats
the cottonbowlutionists
the dallajetstormians
the martapablappers

martin, of all the wackos that post here, libertarians are the wackiest. You people are not even faintly rooted in reality. Hope the view from the asylum if good today.

I would have to disagree and say CottonBowl himself is the wackiest of all

my guess is i know far far more about the law than you, specifically common law marriage, which does only happen in 14 states, and LA is not one of them.

i was responding to this:

one fact that we can never overlook is this: if you say you believe that the government will force straight men to marry each other against their will because they share the rent, then you are an idiot, or possibly a liar.

now go study your law books.

keep your guessing to the casinos, you'll be broke in ten minutes. it wouldn't matter if you were a graduate of harvard law school you wouldn't have enough total knowledge or common sense to pour piss out of your boot. I've seen your comments. hell Ray Charles can see them and he is blind.
You have no idea what kind of law background I have, I however can spot an idiot and your village just called, their idiot is missing.
good day asshole
