Local newspapers as editorials.

What do you like about this subject?

I enjoy politics in general, but I really like discussing the legitimacy of Libertarian politics in particular.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I want to be well-versed and understand, three-dimensionally, all relevant political issues.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

The Libertarian Party has a platform for any issue the others parties do (in some cases, a plank for issues the others don't). We're not just about legalizing drugs!;-)

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Virtually every subject the Libertarians stand for is controversial and provocative...The key is to free your mind of the brainwashing the other poll-driven parties have laid on us.

Thanks for the question, Sam.    I think the one political obstacle to global regulation would be...Agreement based on nationalism.  A perfect example is what we're witnessing with the EU right now; Germany

Thanks for the question, Lynn.    To me, and many other of the Libertarian mindset, it's a smaller list to ask what should NOT fall under "states rights".  Depending on interpretation, many people feel
