I attend libertarian meetings in southern California about twice a month -- have been doing so for years. The hawks are largely outnumbered, yet always nervously insisting that the war is something that libertarians are divided over.

I was at a debate on the war, that was being audiotaped. A hawk was speaking, and asked for a show of hands of those who supported the war. He then announced, "So, a clear majority." Yet I counted less than half the room for the war.

I wasn't quick on my feet though. It didn't occur to me that the meeting was being audiotaped. I, or someone, should have stated for the record that the hands did not represent "a clear majority." Yet now his statement is on the taped record, with no other evidence.

The LP hawks are a devious bunch. I assume that unscientific LP poll was taken by a hawk.

You know what happens when you assume... ;-)

P.S. California is not the nation. Thank God.
