Articles

Contra Schulman, by Thomas L. Knapp, Rational Review, 29 Oct 2004
"I do not regard my vote as, per Schulman's description, symbolic. ... If Bush is defeated, and if that defeat can be plausibly credited to a Libertarian 'spoiler' factor, then libertarians will have demonstrated their ability to determine the outcome of presidential elections."

"... overall, its clear to me that (a) the $7 billion dollar deal to the benefit of the government of Dubai is the typical sort of baksheesh that the United States makes to foreign governments we need as strategic allies, and (b) it's part of a long-term intelligence initiative."

"... I gave up casting my ballot symbolically in any race in which ... [it] stood any chance whatsoever in effecting a preferable outcome. Purists have told me ...
