What is nice about learning about economics is that, although one can debate politics with someone, but you most likely won't change any opinions. With econ, it is something that is actually listened to and make those with certain viewpoints change because of one proving a certain problem caused economically.
It's especially bad in Canada (specifically, Quebec for me) where people look at you like you eat babies by saying something like "I don't think the minimum wage is at all necessary" or god forbid "Universal Healthcare is horrible".

I'm a 16 year old from California. It's pretty much all big government here.

Most kids have to be home-schooled or attend private school to have I Pencil; Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?; or the Law as reading material anymore. The 5000 Year Leap was one of my middle school civics textbooks, and a 10mm film presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muHg86Mys7I --a Philosophy of Liberty was shown to my 6th grade class. A good classical education involving the Trivium, Quadrivium, and American Civics as devised by our founders and developed by the local counties helped produce some of the brightest minds in World history (until hijacked by Dewey, and the Progressive Modern Education "Progressives"). I am fortunate that the Dewey progressives didn't start taking over the curriculum of my school system until i was half way through grade school and a lot of teachers refused to conform into turning us into good little proles.

I feel the worst for refugees in the People's Republic of California.

Thank you for the recommendation.

But as Minerva said Tomas Sowell's is the best bet. Also I would add to your statement most of our generation are just plain illiterate

I honestly agree with you both about our generation's state. Once our worst come to power, we'll be doomed, if we aren't already.

Does spanking violate the NAP? I think so.

All parental discipline is force or coercion: time-outs, grounding, removing of privileges, etc. Parenting is a benevolent dictatorship.

From "eat your vegetables" to "tell your sister you're sorry" the only NAP kids need is in the afternoon.

So since nobody's really had any opinions on it in ages, I'm going to put Humpy's Constitution and my own up for vote either today or tomorrow, and I'll leave them up there for a while so we can get the 2/3 we need.

I'm not quite sure how we're supposed to get 2/3 when pretty much 90% of our citizenship base doesn't seem to do anything, but, hey, we can try.

Bad libertopia

I'd urge everyone to vote NO on all proposed constitutions until the citizenship applications (like mine) get processed.

I sent mine to Roads 34 days ago, with no response back.

I mean, maybe you could factor in the fact that he's the manager of Internal Affairs, therefore the guy to whom everyone telegrams citizenship applications, and the fact that he just recently got back from a decently long disappearing act, therefore allowing for some applications to potentially have disappeared, been lost, or forgotten...

And since he is active now I'm not going to go around him and declare you a citizen. So maybe if you ask him nicely and send him your application again he'll process it.

What's up guys. It's awesome to see that the Libertarian Party is finally getting press coverage! Kinda restores some of my faith in the US media/political system, because this proves they're not totally trying to lock out third party candidates, which have cropped up in dozens of election cycles over the years. Ross Perot was arguably a spoiler for Bush in 92, after all.

WELD THE JOHNSON!

Yeah Weld isn't the most libertarian guy out there. So what? He's the Veep, he's not required to do anything but sit there and look pretty. Just hope GayJay doesn't kick the bucket in office. Besides, he got an "A" from Cato in fiscal discipline and that's good enough for me.

My guess is that the Establishment has finally realized that they are f*cked to put it nicely and will back Johnson in order to at least prevent a Trump election or take it to the House to be decided on.

What interests me is the unprecedented alliance of the non and anti-intellectual conservatives of various stripes with the "moderate" socialist (crypto-progressive) establishment in the GOP. Some of the Never-Trumpers are supporting the Libertarian Party, but not for principle but spite. It is like stepping into the twilight zone.

Seems like most of the interesting regions are having activity issues recently... Strange coincidence.

A vote for neither is interpreted as a vote to not change at all. I haven't included a specific option for it because if neither gets the support it needs they both fail anyways.

Feels like both constitutions call for more active officials than this place seems like it could currently sustain.

I think the best part is that it's even fewer than we have now.
