I'm sorry, but that's an absolute fantasy.

When have you seen anything like that level of international co-operation?

And have you stopped to think that there are a lot of rich and powerful people with a strong vested interest in keeping things going the way they are.

Listen to your SO's friends and [close] family.

Your SO talks to them about what they really want.

I like the Libertarian classic novel "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress."

On the other hand, I can spned three hours pointing out all the ways the author had to massage reality to make his society work.

How about we drop all the distinctions and just say "good for regular people"?

You can't copywrite a "Hannibal" action figure.

Reminds me of an off topic story.

"Fables" was a comic book whose main idea was that the characters from all the fairy tales were living in one neighborhood in Manhattan.

The TV networks like the idea, so they stole it. Twice.

[off topic]

I read a collection of comics from the 1950s. There were stories about Hannibal, Julius Ceasar, Emperor Claudius, and other historical figures. The issue with Civil War stories covered topics like the Emancipation Proclamation. Today we don't put anything in kids' media that can't be sold.

EC titles like 'Valor,' and 'Frontline Combat.'

My personal theory is that the GOP will do a hostile takeover of the Libertarians if the ever become too unpopular.

Also, they don't drain off support, because the Libertarians almost always vote R when it counts. You notice that Green Party Jill was active this cycle and you didn't hear about the Libertarians once.

Seeing as how it would take at least a billion dollars to even get such a party off the ground, you can be assured that the mainstream media would treat it with respect.

I think that the only reason the Greens and the Libertarians managed to get national status was that the GOP wanted to have someone to drain off D support.

Marx never wrote about lunch, so we shouldn't eat anything!

Ever seen 'The Addams Family' movie? Remember the scene where the villainess says she killed her parents because they got her the wrong Barbie doll for Christmas?

The funny thing is that people vote for the GOP to save the economy but they are the ones who have ruined the economy on a regular basis/
