Actually I'm not really active in the party at all besides doing this sort of thing which I love and I think is too often overlooked by people in my party. It seems too many Libertarians would rather argue amongst themselves about who is most philosophically pure than come on to a site like this and mix it up with people who think a little differently (though not all that much, in my opinion) than they do. Their loss, definitely.
Milton Friedman is in my opinion the smartest man in American. He describes himself as a libertarian, although I think that's with a small "l." If you guys would put the drug debate on the back burner and stick to economics I think you would have more success. Or, if you can't, at least limit the drug debate to Constituional matters (sort of as Buckley does) rather than the let's legalize everything and party as one often gets the impression. I'm sure the postition expressed in that last clause is not a fair depiction but that is the impression many have and with reason considering.
Gary Johnson, who from what little I know, appears to be a very good governor. And hes a R of course.
