Our Founders gave us a quasi-Libertarian government and the result was the 
most prosperous and powerful country on earth. Try to imagine where we would 
be today if this government had started off back in the 18th century with all 
the current bureaucracies, regulations and taxes in place. Do you really 
think we would be even a shadow of the country we now are? Arizona is now 
boot-licking California by initiating a statewide smoking ban in "public" 
places (they really aren't public...they are private, but that never stopped 
the double-speak bureaucrats). The Libertarian response to the 
smoking "problem" is: If you don't like the fact that people smoke in a 
business, don't go there! In the same vein, if you, James, don't like the 
slaughter you described (I don't either) don't buy seafood! If enough people 
do that, the slaughter will stop. A Libertarian government as envisioned by 
the Libertarian National Committee has NEVER I repeat NEVER been tried. 
Please dont emulate your beloved bureaucrats and practice doublespeak!
Jerry
