You ready to give up like this guy suggests? Give up on what? If you mean giving up on the Republicans carrying the libertarian banner, I have had near zero confidence for a long time, ever since the Christianists came to prominence. >>For the time has passed when libertarians could seriously hope to cut government: Much of what could be deregulated has been, and the combination of demographics, defense costs and medical inflation leaves no scope for tax cuts.<< If you mean giving up on non-intrusive government generally, I think the above assertion is pretty much a done deal. That doesn't mean that I don't hope and advocate and watch for encouraging overtures, but I have no confidence.
