This editor was a libertarian in college in 1972. It was a brand new party promoting abolition of income tax and legalizing "pot". 40 years later income taxes are still around and "pot" is still illegal. Libertarians are still around and Tech libertarians meet at a local pub on Broadway. They are not exactly smartest bunch of people but Tech people are "dumbards" by nature. A libertarian meeting at a "pub" is usually less than 10 people and in most cases they are half intoxicated while being a "dumbard". The last meeting I went to none of the "dumbards" could even name one of the three local libertarians on the Lubbock ballot in 2012. I for one like the libertarian platform other than the legalizing and taxing "dope" plank. Now the "Young Americans for Liberty"(libertarians) want to repeal the "Sunday ban" on packaged hard liquor sales. I for one like the liquor stores closed on Sunday. Alcoholics can buy their "fix" 6 days a week and that is plenty of days per week. Young Americans For Liberty may need to be detoxed so that they won't need to buy "a bottle" on Sunday.(screen capture from YAL website)
YAL and it's members need to "sober up"!!
