Replying to a message of Dave Drum to Richard Webb:

 DD> Following my policy of always voting and my stated wish of "No
 DD> Incumbents" and with my view of most "Libertarians"
wanting no taxes
 DD> (a necessary evil) and cheap recreational drugs

Neither of those claims apply to the LIbertarian Party's platforms.
The party supports *minimalist* government, which means minimal taxes - not
no taxes.  The party's position on "controlled substances" is
that people should
be free to do whatever they want to themselves; the party also supports the notion
that with rights come responsibilities, there is no inherent right to place
anyone else
at risk by one's actions - my position is that any Constitutional fig leaf
for the Holy
War on (some) Drugs was repealed when the people of this country repealed Prohibition
(if they had to amend the Constitution to get the power to ban hooch then
they have to
amend it (again) to get the power to ban anything else).

 DD> I will probably vote for the Greens this time around.

So you support terrorists?  ALF and ELF are both subsets of that outfit.
