JB -

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

[...I'd love to see the LP open up and mellow out and become a viable party for those who consider themselves generally as economic conservatives and social liberals (a significant percentage of the population). Changes won't happen overnight but at least it would be heartening to see us moving in the right direction...]

As long as the vast majority of the electorate fails to understand (or care about) the real sources of, and the existing and potential threats to their freedom and prosperity, any realistic goals for the LP will remain quite limited, and trying to tailor the 'product' to expand the market would likely be a self-defeating exercise.

However, even the unsuccessful pursuit of limited goals can be of crucial importance in opposing truly bad ideas and policies.

Regards, Don
