Something like 2/3rds of economists voted for Obama. Conservatives in academia are like... women on mises.org.

-_-

Which is why most economists are republicans.

Anyway, I have nothing to contribute to the thread.

I just made this url, which should be easier to memorize:

LibertyHQ is my idea for getting the libertarian movement moving forward and hopefully keeping the Ron Paul movement. I'm currently working on the Get Educated section, where I aggregate and categorize articles so people can learn their stuff.

I'm curious. What is this...Candlemind place you...speak of?

Candlemind is the name of my general-purpose website. Currently, my website LibertyHQ is hosted on my candlemind website. If I stay in the US I plan to buy a domain for LibHQ so that it is more accessible.
