I’ve alluded to the shallowness of "Stephanie Dupont" over at AintNoBadDude before (note to self: next time living will is updated, use her writings as examples of "brain dead"). But her latest effort proves that a walk through the ocean of her soul would scarcely get one’s feet wet (in the interests of not having the blogosphere come down on me for plagiarism, I will note that I stole that line from National Lampoon’s Radio Dinner album). It is, admittedly, difficult to tell from her screeching screed just what "Mark" really thinks (or if he thinks at all; he may just smell nice and have a big, um, wallet). Apparently, however, "Mark" voted for Libertarian candidate Harry Browne, not because he is either a Libertarian or a libertarian, but because he feels the U.S. has swung too far in the other direction, and could use a healthy dose of libertarianism. Stephie was horrified to hear this from him, but was relieved that "he was just whacked out about politics and wasn't a libertarian". (I don’t know if her objections to libertarianism started when the folks over at Libertarian Samizdata justly castigated her for suggesting that the women at their bash were paid escorts, or if she has long feared that libertarians would cut her off from being a nomenklaturist or at least a bureaucrat, and make her try to find an actual job. Well, "Mark", you’re in good company (aside from that date). I’m not a libertarian either, but I vote Libertarian when I have the opportunity, and for the same reasons. And to Steph and others who are horrified by that: when the Libs are about to control the Presidency and both House of Congress, and appoint a majority of SCOTUS; and when your twelve-year-old daughter’s live-in bisexual lover is buying her all the crack she can smoke, I’ll change my vote on the theory that this has gone too far. But, even if I had a normal expectancy of life, I still wouldn’t expect to see that happen. John "Akatsukami" Braue Friday, March 01, 2002 |
