Ray, Re: "As a libertarian you are no doubt alarmed at the rapid loss of civil liberties and individual rights..." Yes. Re: "that is being crammed down America's throat by the the Bush/Ashcroft Mafia. They intend to create an evil police state with unlimited global ambitions and unlimited power to incarcerate and destroy the lives of the citizen here." As a Libertarian, I'm aware that all past administrations are essentially GUILTY, along with the present one, but not of outright intentions "to create an evil police state with unlimited global ambitions and unlimited power to incarcerate and destroy the lives of the citizen here." Finding no real evidence of such(and if fact find the suggestion both preposterous and wholly unsupported), I respectfully decline your invitation. Hence.... Re: "Should you fail to join in opposition to the police state imposition that is clearly the Bush agenda, you will be betraying your purported allegiance to the libertarian creed and will be exposed as a hypocrite and mere cheerleader for totalitarianis." I say "Not so", on any count. Freedom Works, Dan B
