Indians, to blacks, etc.). Gosh golly... I'm getting out of this Libertarian mess once and for all. Next thing you know they will be asking for the repeal of victimless crime laws (those commie-pinkos!) ... Of course you have a good point. No matter how many libertarians try to stress libertarian beliefs that map to the left side of the political spectrum, there are always the on going discussions of taxation to make people think we are ultra-conservatives. When we admit that we believe government handouts are not the solution to poverty we are further pigeon- holed. --Cliff [Matthews] {purdue, cmcl2, ihnp4}!lanl!unmvax!cliff {csu-cs, pur-ee, convex, gatech, ucbvax}!unmvax!cliff 4744 Trumbull S.E. - Albuquerque NM 87108 - (505) 265-9143
