So in other words you're trying to say "I can beat you up" OMG that is funny.

No, that's not what I was saying in other words. What I was saying is someone is acting like I write checks with my mouth that my ass can't cash. All I'm saying is my bank account is full and I've never bounced a check. I don't look for fights, but I don't run away either.

The other thing I dislike is that Corporations have too much power. I'm not sure what could be done about this, because we do need to have a Free Market and we need the goods they produce

It would be nice if we had a free market, but sadly politically influencial Corporations and corrupt politicians have turned our markets into protectionist mercantilism.
Like you, I think that true patriotism means keeping a watchful eye on government and ensuring they don't step beyond their authority. Also I detest people who say bullshit things like, "love it or leave it" and ignore the glaring problems here. The cheerleader mentality you spoke of is disgusting in many ways.
The witchcraft thing is strange. I listened to a bit of gothic and punk in college but never did the white face thing. I don't have to. I'm Irish.
Congrats on the new kid. I hope that works out well for you. I hope this marriage works out better than my first. My new wife is from Vietnam. I met here while I was there on vacation a couple of years ago. Unlike many of the ignorant people who support socialism or communism, I've personally seen the damage it does.

What kind of political job do you have? Are you working for the Libertarian Party? Any idea who the next Libertarian presidential candidate will be?

Mostly I've been doing legal paperwork for people having trouble with the IRS or State Tax collectors. I've also been managing an office, and travelling to freedom rallys, forums, etc. to sell books, videos, cd's, tapes, etc. and to give away lots of flyers, audio cd's, and other information about what's happening. I also attend a lot of Libertarian events. I'll be speaking at one in May. I'm not working for the LP at the moment, but I have in the past and most likely will in the future before I'm elected to public office.
Several people are trying for the Libertarian Presidential ticket. My favorite is Bill Masters. He's a Colorado Sheriff who has been re-elected several times. He's extremely intelligent, but unlike Harry Browne he doesn't sound like a Political Science professor. He's got a lot of "folksy" charm. He reminds me of Andy Griffith. He says things like, "I'm just a small town Sheriff but even I know that the drug war is wrong..."

There's a Judge in Southern California who just joined the party and wants to go for the Libertarian Ticket too. Judge Gray is in Orange County. I don't know if he'll have as much appeal to the public though.
