I take it you're a young person? from one to another, what's with support of the Green Party? A Green said to me last week that "voting Democrat is like re-arranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic." I said "well what's that mean about your vote for Nader?" The guy is a damned socialist, not even a smart one. As for Winona Laduke? She's the biggest kook ever.

You're no civil libertarian if you support abortion. In fact I'm miffed; it's people like you who give libertarians a bad name. Killing a child in the womb is an infringement of rights (Life, Liberty, and Persuit of Happiness) as well as an initation of force against an individual.

you're all right on everything else as far as I can see.

I'm 33 years young. Support for the Green Party means you support reforming government.

Here's a list of core Green values

1) Ecological widsom

2) Grassroots democracy

3) Social justice

4) Nonviolence

5) Decentralization

6) Community based economics

7) Feminism

8) Respect for diversity

9) Global responsibility

10) Sustainability

A Green said to me last week that "voting Democrat is like re-arranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic." I said "well what's that mean about your vote for Nader?"

As Nader said, the Democrat and Republican parties are two sides of the same coin.

The guy is a damned socialist, not even a smart one.

There's not much room for Socialists in the Green Party. Socialism has destroyed the environment and human rights.

As for Winona Laduke? She's the biggest kook ever.

hmm... 'kook'. OK. I thought only right-wingers were 'kooks'.

You're no civil libertarian if you support abortion.

Supporting reproductive rights is civil libertarian.

In fact I'm miffed; it's people like you who give libertarians a bad name. Killing a child in the womb is an infringement of rights (Life, Liberty, and Persuit of Happiness) as well as an initation of force against an individual.

Sure, if you believe that a fetus has the same rights as a person. But that's not so.
