Harry Browne, who was the Libertarian Party presidential candidate in 1996 and 2000, is reported by multiple sources to have died yesterday. I just confirmed the general information with Jim Babka of DownSizeDC. DownSizeDC intends to be distributing pertinent information by e-mail and on their website later this evening.
Pending a statement from family or friends, the best (speculative) published source of information about his condition is currently on Wiki:
"In June of 2005 an unknown neurological illness confined him to a wheelchair. After spending a considerable amount of time in the hospital, he resumed some of his writing and speaking, though it was uncertain whether he will walk again. He succumbed to illness on 1 March 2006."

Yeah - I see my comment was misinterpreted above. Harry seemed so consistent for so long that it just seemed a little curious, that's all.
To: NewRomeTacitus
Heard about this earlier today on an e-mailing list.
RIP Harry.

Indeed sad. Didn't know he was sick at all. Prayers out to his family. He was a great man

If they had, we wouldn't have this two party debacle anymore.

Nope, I had just read his and then yours and found it amusing that you felt you needed to come to his rescue when he responded quite nicely on his own.

I'm sure he's gone to that giant bong in the sky. Just as you will go to your jug of Koolaid.
RIP, indeed.

I knew sooner or later this thread would degenerate into the obligatory Libertarian and marijuana bashing.
I guess most people on FR enjoy the status quo of having reckless government spending, high taxes, and diminishing Constitutional freedoms, all brought forth by the two political parties who pretend to be different.

So when President Ford dies should we post pictures of Rhinos?
To: JABBERBONK
Good riddance to bad garbage! Even if you felt that way, you didn't have to voice it. Completely inappropriate and disrespectful.
