Other planned demonstrations include starting a private mail service, to call attention to the federal government’s monopoly on first-class mail delivery, and selling bottles of liquor, in defiance of state liquor laws. A crew of libertarians in Kentucky plans to serve alcohol to an underage military veteran next month, letting local police know ahead of time for maximum exposure.

He's not a Libertarian, whatever he says.
He is some kind of Performance-Artist/Anarchist.

Best idea I've heard out of libertarians in a long time. If there is single issue that libertarians could get a lot of milage on, lowering the drinking age is it. This single issue has the potential to reach out to a younger generation like no other issue has. Three cheers to the Kentucky crew.

"A decade ago, we tried to make changes by lobbying politicians and talking to people, and we got nowhere," Babiarz said.

Barbiarz may not be aware of it, but during the period of greatest libertarian growth, that is the period that ended 2 decades ago, libertarians were regularly involved in publicity stunts and didn't bother much with lobbying politicians. Its about time libertarians return to direct action, and leave all the political bull to the republicans and democrats.

Libertarians such as Don Gorman want to build the Libertarian Party into an unprincipled pretend real political party which at best might replace one of the other two major parties while becoming useless authoritarian carbon copy of them. But more than likely, the LP will just grow enough to be a spoiler for the other two major parties. In either case, there is no good that will come out of it. Libertarian Party members need to think in terms of movement building and not at playing pretend politics.
