Election Night 08
Over the days ahead, give thought as to how you could participate in the new “Obama America” for fun and profit. Please bring some ideas to Thanksgiving.
Love,
Dad
“Two considerations have carried special weight in determining our judgment. One of these is a matter of foreign policy. The other is a question of assuring a unified direction of the nation’s affairs at a difficult moment in history.
I have been finalizing my choices for tomorrow. Moving to California so late in the cycle I have been feeling like there are still so many names and issues to learn about to be an informed voter and I am doing my best to catch up.
I was looking over the candidates for State Senate in my district and came across this on the Libertarian candidate’s site:
An important libertarian truth is that we get our Rights of Self-Ownership because of our ability to have independent thought and because those thoughts have the ultimate control over our bodies. A clear result of this truth is that when children reach the point of asserting their own independence they then have demonstrated that the above applies to them; they therefore have acquired those Rights.
I did state that if a teenager has gone to the extent of contacting an adult through the Internet, and arranging a meeting for consensual sex that the teenager pretty obviously was asserting their independence. Laws against this type of interaction then are in direct violation of the teenager’s newly acquired Rights of Self-Ownership.
