If the Libertarian party took the name of a political philosophy (Libertarianism) without ascribing to the mode of thought then the "mode of thought" must not have been what they wished to spread but the word liberty describes what they did (and do)want to spread. I understand the Libertarian party's "mode of thought" and very much approve of it. I am pleased you find my appeal to morality interesting. No, I don't assume everyone holds the same moral values as me...you obviously don't! You dislike the fact that some possess billions while others die of hunger. Much of that death is due to repressive philosophies enforced by non-Libertarian governments. Bill Gates possesses billions. HE EARNED IT! Redistributing wealth in a world as ours is hardly immoral!! You demonstrate not everyone has the same moral values as me. You advocate stealing from people who earned the money (that means it belongs to them...not your libertarian-socialist)and giving it to people with no moral claim (moral by MY standards...by your standards, being poor gives one a "moral" claim to the unearned property). I suppose your next rant will deny that taking property from the person who produced it without their permission is theft. If the Libertarian party I am affiliated with is not "Libertarian" please explain, in your opinion, what it is? I am interested in your definition of the oxy-moronic term libertarian-socialist. It sounds to me like "free-slave"! Jerry Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=21908
