It’s not that they like Linder all that much. His voting record differs so little from Barr’s that the two men stipulated at a recent debate — or “joint appearance” as they call such things these days — that they agree on just about everything. It’s just that the Democrats simply cannot stand Barr.

Neither can the libertarians. They have vowed to do all they can to defeat Barr because he offends their pro-dope sensibilites.

Linder is the one pushing for the abolition of the income tax.....I would support him if I could vote, though I don't like the idea of Barr leaving either.

There was a debate on 750 WSB AM that featured Bob Barr and local talk show host, Neil Boortz. The debate was on whether marijuana should be legalized. Boortz, playing to emotions, talked mostly about using the drug as a pain killer; for medical reasons. In fact, that was his only point. He failed to look at the whole picture, the effects legalization would have to society. ie: Netherlands.

I didn't catch the beginning of the debate, but I had the feeling that it was held on a university campus, for the majority of the crowd was on Boortz's side. It made me think that there were a lot of pot smokers in the audience. However, I don't know for sure.

Wrong!

Sometimes I think you must be a latent tempted doper to be so hung
up on that one subject.

All of my fellow libertarian friends know that the WOD destroys
the Liberty of all the rest of us that don't use illegal drugs yet has
not come even close to winning the WOD in 40 years of socialist
repression.  Unlike you, I believe Mr. Barr could even eventually
see the light and agree that it is time to try an new tact such as more
relaxed laws and a truthful education and rehabilitation effort from
the private sector without individual fears of government reprisal.
