I went to a meeting of the Massachusetts Libertarian Party in the early eighties. It consisted of ten people sitting around a table at Victoria Station (a steak house). They spent half the meeting arguing about Robert's Rules of Order.
It was worth being a Libertarian once just for that experience. It was right out of the "Life of Brian."

I can imagine. The secret beauty of Roberts Rules is A) it is difficult to impose new legislation because of its cumbersome nature and B) it protects an intelligent minority from being voted out of existance by the majority. Plus, it provides for some great human comedy.
