Of Mike Gravel. I cant believe this guy calls himself a libertarian.

 

"Can you think of anything that is more libertarian than empowering people to make laws?"

I can; "... allowing people to be self-governed".

But hey, as long as Gravel is helping to digg the grave for the LP, he might as well do it in style.

The totality of all law is defined already by the non-aggression principle. There's nothing left to make. All that's left is negotiation about the handling of tricky cases.

 The fact that the LP is even willing to consider nominating a fan of world governance just shows the counterproductiveness of the "pragmatists".
