[QUOTE="farmerbyron, post: 2592549, member: 4953"] Rick, saying that libertarians "just don't want it bad enough" is akin to saying that black voters in the pre-civil rights era just "didn't want it bad enough". To deny that there have been roadblocks put in to keep Ls off the ballot is just flat out incorrect. Hell, just think about how our congress works with the majority party controlling the committees that decide what legislation even makes it to the floor. Our govt. has gone from G. Washington warning about the perils of political parties to two parties being intertwined into the functioning of the legislative process. However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion. ― George Washington [/QUOTE]
