  Colorado boomerangs makes at least one model which is designed to take

catching you.

  I haven't tried this, I just saw it ion the catalogue.

Yes, do. Sounds like it could be interesting -- especially with winter

Got my shipment of glow-in-the-dark Super Zoys from Turning Point
today, after a short (around 3 weeks) wait.

They're like the regular Zoys (aka Tri-Flies), but made of a treated
plastic that glows in the dark after a zap with a camera flash bulb.
If the winds don't come up tonight, the Bovinator and I will be at
Parliament Hill trying them out.

I'll submit a report if anything noteworthy happens.

Putting personality and characterization aside for the moment, has anyone
read Perot's book "United We Stand"?  What do you all think of his ideas?

Can we use this group to discuss the book?

I really don't understand you people (to use a Perot-ism).  Like a jilted

No, but I'd love to help start one or several. I tried to start a group
called "Cal Students for Individual Liberty" a few semesters ago, but didn't
have the time to get it going. There is an Ayn Rand Society, but my
understanding is they're fairly orthodox and thus don't like to 
consider themselves "libertarian." 

I'm sure there are many libertarian and libertarian-leaning students on
campus, but right now there's no way for them to find each other.

>If so I would like some info on them.

Does anyone out in net-land have information about successful libertarian
student groups on other campuses? 

How about useful ways to find/attract other libertarians, other than ye
olde OPH booth? 

I know that here at UC-Berkeley, if the group is non-partisan (based on the
libertarian philosophy/ideology but without any ties to the Libertarian
Party), it can get an automatic $80 for club expenses from the ASUC 
(student government). 

If it's partisan, endorsing candidates or affiliated with any party, it
can't get the $80, but it can still register with the University (like the
Cal Democrats or Berkeley College Republicans) and be listed in club
guides, reserve rooms, table on campus, etc. 

Potential non-partisan groups could include local chapters of the
International Society for Individual Liberty (ISIL) or the Advocates for
Self-Government.

Well uh ... there is an independant market for such services;  I suppose one just
goes out and prices comparable merchandise (no sampling allowed) :-)

As to the explanation,  well,  if you (or anybody) were a seigneur,  wouldn't it
seem reasonable?  After all,  you can have pretty much what you want,  why not
take it?  I suppose the "droit" part was just to give it the color of law so the
other offended party would not get ideas about revenge and such.

Long ago,  I considered joining a party.  I saw this sign for the Libertines
at the Sta Clara Co fair and rushed over to join (hoping thereby to meet my
aliquot share of scarlet women).  When I got closer,  I saw that the sign read
"Libertarian".  Sigh.

I agree. I saw her at the Texas LP convention in June. Very smart and
well-spoken. She also seems to have a strong sense of how government
has hurt the poor, something Libertarians need to do a better job of
conveying if we are to become a major party in the future.

Not true, their voice mail system asks you to leave your name, school,
and year as well as your answer to the poll.  I suppose people could
just lie, but I advise against it: we have much more to gain from an
honest result.  Note that I did not reproduce the number above.  I
hope that only legitimate college students will call and answer the
poll (I hung up as soon as the recording began, since I haven't been

More arcana-- Mr McBride is a direct descendant of Laura Ingalls Wilder (author of
the "Little House" series).

On the subject of Tonie Nathan,  who as Mr Lee correctly points out was the first
woman to receive an electoral vote:  arguably the Libertarians had their ticket
backwards then and have it backwards now.  As I recall Tonie Nathan was the more
qualified of the two.  Presently,  Dr (JD, MD,  take your pick) Lord may be the
most qualified candidate running for anything (if you don't count incumbency as
a qualification).

Perhaps one addresses her as Dr Dr (recalling the hilarious Chevy Chase,  Dan 
Ackroyd scene from "Spies Like Us").
