YID With LID: The FIRST Haveil Havalim # 50,000
Array Now, that may not initially sound all that fun to many of you, but believe me—its WAY fun when you’re dressed as a magical wizard!As you may or may not have heard, the final Harry Potter book is coming out this Friday at midnight.

A Republican candidate who’s well-positioned put the Libertarian Party down like a sick dog, with the assistance of the LP itself, or at least of the LP’s base of members, supporters and prospective candidates (and, as it has transpired in reality, with the financial support of the LP’s founder, at least two members of the Libertarian National Committee, and even the LP’s lawyer).- December, 2006: Ron Paul’s phone rings.I’ve made no secret of the fact that I believe Ron Paul’s Republican presidential campaign to be a bad thing for the libertarian political movement in general, and for the Libertarian Party in particular.What I haven’t said before is that I believe that’s the point — that the objective of Paul’s campaign is the destruction of the Libertarian Party and the co-opting of the libertarian political movement by a political party which will never serve that movement’s goals.My evidence for this belief? The idea that that could be good for the LP — or any other political party to which it happens — is ludicrous on its face.We know that the larger libertarian movement isn’t benefiting from the Paul campaign, either — because Paul has assiduously avoided selling himself as a libertarian, choosing instead to brand himself a conservative during his presidential run.And we know that the pattern of Paul’s activities over the last 20 years has amounted to a gigantic fleecing of various constituencies, including but not limited to the libertarian movement and the Libertarian Party. especially if Paul can drag some of his existing libertarian fans out of the movement and into the GOP behind him.The Republican Party obviously stands to benefit if Paul’s campaign guts the Libertarian Party, either destroying it outright or eviscerating its ability to field spoiling candidates in congressional races for even a few election cycles …

The colors people paint their houses.2. The general friendliness of people on the street.11. Biking in a gang of people at night.15. The air of inclusiveness from the people here.95. People have moved here from all over the country.100. This list is by no means all-inclusive, but I feel so much better after taking the time to appreciate what this town means to me now that I own a little part of it.
