A letter to the LNC regarding the resolutions passed this past weekend.

My name is Jeff Wartman and I am a member of the Libertarian Party of Illinois and a member of the national Libertarian Party.  I am writing you to express my shock at the irresponsible and unbelievable resolutions that were passed this weekend at the LNC meeting in Charleston.

The LNC set a new precedent with the resolutions.  The new precedent, which has been set, now says that the LNC will endorse a Republican candidate over current Libertarian candidates.  Who the candidates might be is irrelevant.  This has nothing to do with a certain candidate.  The LNC is now supporting a rival candidate from a rival party.

Why we do NOT need universal healthcare

Figuring out ways to decrease the cost of healthcare in the United States is an important task for everybody currently in the political process. However, to some, it's more about an addiction to government than realizing what could really be done to fix healthcare if we didn't have government stepping on the throats of the collective healthcare industry.

publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.  
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).  
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

blah blah blahLorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

I was just told about this site, by a friend, and told it was the libertarian answer to The Daily KOS.  Well, despite the fact that the best answer to THAT waste of electrons is a loud razzberry, this might be a good idea to tie lovers of liberty together.

The Price of Gasoline in Iowa

I will tell you why gas prices are the price they are and it has very little to do with profits of big oil companies like some politicians would like you to believe.  It is easy to blame the "greedy bastards" at the oil company, but not as easy to blame the "greedy bastards" working in the government.

Subsidizing Dead Farmers

I have always said that I believe many government subsidies go to the wrong people, but I never actually thought that the money was going to more than 170,000 dead people. Farm subsidies are going to dead people, people that do not even farm, and large farming corporations.
