Bias suffered from cardiac arrythmia. The combination killed him.
I stopped doing coke after I was diagnosed with the same.
I don't know who he was, but that really sucks.

I am posting from my phone and have very little time. I would just like to point out that almost all libertarians I have known are rabidly anti choice. Mister freedom loving superfreak wants to force women to carry and give birth to their rapists children. What could be more authoritarian than forcing a woman to give birth to her rapist's baby? Tha answer is, for a woman, nothing. This is why your cries for freedom fall mostly on white male ears and will always ring hollow. Cawacko is the only libertarian I know of on this board who also supports freedom for women.
I'm usually quite serious, and there is a lot here that is 100% serious, certainly Krugman's piece. However, ever since the little Nancy boys had a level 10 meltdown, I can't help poking them a bit. They are quite fun. I would like to own one as a pet. But I'd muzzle it of course. No way I am going to listen to that 24/7. I would take the muzzle off for parties and such. You can't buy that kind of entertainment at the Party Store!

Most libertarians are pro-choice, FYI...
Right wing authoritarians are Libertarians in many cases. There is a huge co-mingling. As a woman, perhaps the authoritarianism inherent in Libertarians is more obvious to me.
Their definition of "freedom" is very narrow indeed.
not only do you NOT know Libertarianism, you don't know Libertarians. I also support womens freedom.I am posting from my phone and have very little time.

I think that Libertarians have had it finally sink in that as a third party alternative to our two party system that they are little more than a joke of relatively little, if any, significance.I think that while Libertarians have far more influence online than they do irl, that to say they have no influence irl would be incorrect. I think that the corporate wing of the Republican party has in the past, gotten into bed with the religious right because it was expedient for them to do so. I think that they are naturally already in bed with Libertarians, and in fact, that the corporate elite really are Libertarians (they all view themselves as John Galt), and while they might not give a shit about the gun issue (after all, we are talking about people who are guarded by the best in the world), they are happy to promote it for several reasons. Some are explained in Krugman's piece which i agree with, and also just to keep their little wives happy. You have to give her something to keep her quiet while you're out drinking with the boys. The her is you in this case, but same principal.

Len Bias was an all American with the University of Maryland. He was selected by the Boston Celtics in 1986 as a first round draft pick (he was the second player chosen in the NBA draft that year). Shortly after he died from a cocaine induced heart attack.I don't know who he was, but that really sucks.

Where libertarians are FINALLY starting to show some relevence is by building coalitions within the Republican Party. Particularly with the angry white guy crowd. They certainly had a significant influence on Bush administration policy. However, that alarmed a lot of people in that it helped confirm what most people suspect. That given the opportunity a Libertarian ran government would prove hoplessly inept and incompetent.
Still, not that much has changed, The Libertarian party is still the province of angry white male internet warriors. They would have far more significance if they joined the Republican party out right.
Yea well the real difference between a Republican leaning Libertarian and a "True Libertarian" is that the former are relevent and of significance and the latter are pretty much a joke and are hardly worth a thought.Not to derail the thread with the meaning of terms but I will say I am a Republican with libertarian leanings. I say that because there is a difference between socially conservative Republicans and libertarian leaning Republicans like myself. But there is also a difference between Republican leaning libertarians like myself and true Libertarians. True Libertarians would look at someone like myself and laugh if I claimed to be one of them.
So I'm not trying to label other people but I would say more of what you see on this board are people with libertarian leanings (the little l as it is called) but aren't true Libertairans (the big L).
What big influence did Libertarians have on the Bush Administration?
No Child Left Behind (nope)
going into Afghanistan (nope)
going into Iraq (hell no)
Pill Bill (nope)
attempt at private accounts for S.S. (yes)
Sarbanes Oxley (nope)
TARP (nope)
What else would you like to add?
OK, well maybe I did overstate their having a "signiicant" influence on the Bush administration. Though you must admit that their influence on environmental issues and laizzes-faire business regulations and some influence on the Bush administration which is vastly more than what you can say about the Libertarian Party actually influencing anyone.What big influence did Libertarians have on the Bush Administration?

Thus speaketh JPP's angriest white guy! LOLI do love how he parrots the 'they are starting to attract the angry white guy' crowd... if they repeat it enough, it becomes real to them.
