I wonder what went through the minds of all those libertarians who voted for Bush, not just once, but twice? Idiots. If the libertarian 'brand' wasn't so diluted with retards and retarded positions, I might like them more. The idea of a society where government isn't involved in religion, social issues, drugs, etc. is an attractive idea. All Libertarians I know are jerk-offs though.

Sean Corbett of my other favorite site for Chicago-esque news, writes:

Chicagoist: Michael Chertoff Just Wants To Get To Know You Better :
By mid 2008 all US citizens are scheduled to be carrying documents that identify our names, addresses, birthdays, gender, photograph, and some kind of biometric marker to any federally sponsored agency that requests the information. Real ID act which gave The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the authority over the contents of a national ID card was tacked onto a tsunami relief bill back in 2005. It passed in the US House (368-58) and Senate (100-0).
...
Problems with that statement: It’s impossible to have a totally secure system (and who wants every person who sees their driver’s license to keep all of their stats in a database?) and terrorists will blow themselves up whether or not they have an ID card on them when they do it. What’s a wrongdoer these days anyway? Are kids (and grandmothers) who pirate music wrongdoers? How about unruly protestors? Is it possible to live in a society where the government knows your whereabouts and daily activities without deteriorating into a totalitarian state? Those are some serious questions, and the word on the street is that our Senators and Representatives were sleeping when they last had the chance to raise them.


Hmmm, well, my family still owns 100 acres in central Ontario. No electricity, but solar is getting cheaper, and seems like winters aren't as cold as they used to be when I lived there as a kid.

We need a new third party, one haphazardly constructed of select Libertarian Party planks and Green Party planks. This party would stand against government prohibition of the use of naturally occuring substances for recreation/spiritual growth/fun, would agitate for government interference to minimize the negative impact of capitalism on the environment, while re-allocating resources to investment in programs that help the poor and uneducated. The party would be for equal rights for all, free enterprise, intellectual and religious freedom, and would fight ferociously for freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and free access to information, minimizing government regulations in all these areas.

I'm calling it the Dream On party.

Where do I sign up? The URL is available still....

Amazing. We can start fundraising ASAP at that URL. And then we can disburse the funds to ourselves, thus lifting ourselves out of poverty.
