PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Dear friends,
Millions of libertarians!
Millions of Americans who agree
with us on even the hardest
issues!
New credibility for the World's
Smallest Political Quiz and
for the idea of a more
inclusive political map!
That's just *some* of the great
news we received in a big
breakthrough last week. Here's
the gist of it.
Rasmussen Research is one of
the world's leading polling
firms. On September 7 Rasmussen
announced they had used the
Advocates' "World's
Smallest Political Quiz" in a
non-commissioned scientific
poll of a broad cross-section of
likely American voters.
This was the first time the
Quiz had been administered by a
professional pollster.
Breakthrough!
Remember, the World's Smallest
Political Quiz isn't a
softcore "everybody scores
libertarian" trick. It asks ten
questions on serious political
issues, including taxes, drug
laws, immigration, business
subsidies, minimum wage laws,
foreign aid and more. To score
even moderately libertarian on
the Quiz, you've got to have
more in common with libertarians
than with any other political
group. And to score high in the
libertarian sector, you've
virtually got to be libertarian.
That's why the results of this
poll are so exciting.
*Rasmussen found that fully 16%
of "likely American voters"
scored in the Libertarian
sector of the Quiz.* That's more
than scored Liberal (13%) or
Conservative (7%). (32% scored
Centrist, 14% Authoritarian,
and 17% fell on the borders of
the different categories.)
And more good news: millions of
Americans agree with
libertarians even on some of
the "hardest" issues.
Consider:
* 28% said they
agreed with the Quiz statement: "Drug laws
do more
harm than good and should be repealed."
* 30% said they
agreed with the Quiz statement: "All
foreign
aid should be privately funded."
* 42% agreed that
"Businesses and farms should operate
without
government subsidies."
* 36% agreed that
"We should end taxes. Pay for government
services with user fees."
* 28% agreed that
"People should be free to come and go
across
borders; to live and work where they choose."
This is exciting! Clearly,
millions of people are already
libertarian or
libertarian-leaning.
And now, here's our challenge.
Rasmussen found that, though
16% of Americans scored
Libertarian on the Quiz, *only 2% use
the word
"libertarian" to describe their views.*
Our job: reach these people!
Let them know there's a
philosophy, a label, a movement
that reflects their views and
is working for the values they
hold dear.
What an opportunity!
Let the Advocates' array of
tools, techniques, programs,
publications, and other
activities help you reach these
millions with our message in a
positive, persuasive way.

For the whole exciting story
about the Rasmussen Quiz poll,
read "Libertarian Litmus
Test" at Rasmussen's Web site:
A request: While there, please
take just a moment to THANK
Rasmussen for doing this! Just
click on "FEEDBACK" and tell
them, in your own words, that
you appreciate their using the
Quiz. That you are delighted to
see them recognize that
libertarians are a big part of
the American political scene,
and there is more to politics
than just liberal vs.
conservative. Tell them you
hope they'll continue to use the
Quiz.
We're so often critical of
pollsters for ignoring us. When a
leading company gives us this
kind of attention, they deserve
our praise - and enough praise
may let them know there's a
large constituency out there
for this kind of approach.
Thank you! Enjoy this issue of
the Liberator Online.

GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS, UNBELIEVABLE NEWSby James W. Harris
Drug Submarine Proves Folly of War on Drugs
Wednesday, September 6, 2000
should go down in history as the
date that everyone finally
realized the War on Drugs will
never, ever work.
On that date, police in
Colombia stumbled onto a half-built
submarine - being assembled for
drug smugglers.
The sub was found in a
warehouse outside the capitol, Bogota
- 7,500 feet up in the Andes
Mountain. Fully 210 miles from
the nearest seaport.
The sub was 100 feet long,
extremely strong, and very
high-tech. Finished, it would
have been capable of crossing
entire oceans, submerging fully
100 meters under the surface,
and rising anywhere to drop off
up to 200 tons of cocaine.
Even the Colombian navy admits
it lacks the expertise to
build a sub of such quality. A
Navy expert described it as
"unmistakably of superb
naval construction." Clues indicate
Russian engineers may have been
involved, and Americans as
well.
Even veteran Drug Warriors were
stunned at the discovery.
Smugglers have used passenger
ships, planes and tunnels to
smuggle drugs... but no one had
ever suspected something like
this. The warehouse was empty,
and no arrests were made.
The tremendous profits of drug
smuggling - a result of Drug
Prohibition, of course - have
created the incentive for such
innovations, and provide the
funding. And as long as Drug
Prohibition continues, there
will be huge profits to be made
from meeting that demand... and
people willing to go to
extraordinary lengths to make
the extraordinary profits.

Kids Must Get Licenses for Toy Guns
It sounds like something out of
a parody of political
correctness. But it's real.
Kids as young as four in New
Zealand are being forced to
apply for "licenses"
before being allowed to play with toy
guns.
The idea started at a
kindergarten in Nelson, South Island.
And, according to London's
Daily Telegraph newspaper, the
idea is "spreading
rapidly."
Upon applying to school
officials for the license, children
are asked questions. They must
tell why they want the toy
gun. If they say they want to
"shoot" endangered animals,
they are lectured on why this
cannot be done. If they want to
play cops and robbers, they are
told that New Zealand police
are generally unarmed, so
shooting is forbidden. Acceptable
uses include: euthanasia of an
injured horse, and hunting
possums (regarded as a pest in
New Zealand). Sounds like a
lot of fun, doesn't it?
Before being granted a license,
children must also learn
rules about guns. "The
first rule is that you never point a
gun at anybody," says the
teacher who conceived the plan.
If granted the license,
children must carry it on their
person when they play games
involving guns. According to the
Daily Telegraph, "Police
have given the scheme their tacit
approval."

London)
Born to Regulate
Marthe Kent is director of the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration [OSHA] safety
standards program and heads
OSHA's controversial ergonomics
program.
In an interview in May in the
trade journal of the American
Industrial Hygiene Association,
Kent gushed ecstatically
about her destiny to control
others, and the sheer
intoxicating thrill of
exercising that power:
"I absolutely love it. I
was born to regulate. I don't know
why, but that's very true. So
as long as I'm regulating, I'm
happyIf you put out a reg, it
matters. I think that's really
where the thrill comes from.
And it is a thrill; it's a
high."

The U.S. Drug War Gulag
A study by the Justice Policy
Institute (JPI) reports that
the United State has almost
500,000 of its citizens
incarcerated on non-violent
drug charges. The study is
entitled "Poor
Prescription: The Costs of Imprisoning Drug
Offenders in the United
States."
The study estimates that there
are 458,131 non-violent drug
offenders behind bars in the
U.S. For perspective, that is
far more than the entire prison
population of the European
Union *for all crimes combined*
(356,626) -- and the EU has
100 million more citizens than
the U.S.
While the U.S. has only 5% of
the world's population, it has
25% of the total number of
prisoners in the entire world -
two million of the eight
million prisoners worldwide. The
Drug War plays a major role in
this.
Of the almost $40 billion the
U.S. will spend on prisons and
jails in the year 2000, $9.4
billion is to imprison those
458,131 nonviolent drug
offenders.
There are astounding racial
disparities. Black Americans are
being imprisoned for drug
offenses at a rate 14 times that of
white Americans. The numbers
are even worse for young drug
offenders. Young whites are
incarcerated at a rate of 30 per
100,000; young blacks 511 per
100,000. (1996 figures.)
Every year since 1988, the
number of drug offenders
imprisoned has exceeded the
number of violent offenders
behind bars.
(Sources: Justice Policy
Institute; Drug Policy Foundation)
Conservatives on Drug Legalization
"it is our
judgment that the war on drugs has failed, that
it is diverting
intelligent energy away from how to deal
with the problem of
addiction, that it is wasting our
resources, and that
it is encouraging civil, judicial, and
penal procedures
associated with police states. We all
agree on movement
towards legalization, even though we may
differ on just how
far."

America's leading conservative magazine
(founded by William
F. Buckley Jr.), National Review,
February 12, 1996.

ASK DR. RUWART[
How can you answer difficult questions about
libertarianism
-- in short, positive,
persuasive soundbite-sized responses?
It's a challenge every
libertarian communicator faces.
Dr. Mary Ruwart is a leading
expert in libertarian
communication and author of the
international bestseller
"Healing Our World."
Her new book is "Short Answers to the
Tough Questions." In this
column she provides Liberator
Online readers with "Short
Answers to the Tough Questions"
that libertarians are
frequently asked.
If you'd like Dr. Ruwart to
provide effective answers for
YOUR "tough
questions" on libertarian issues, just email the
questions to her at: mailto:ruwart@self-gov.org.
*Due to
volume, Dr. Ruwart can't
personally answer or acknowledge all
email queries.* But we'll run
the best questions -- and Dr.
Ruwart's answers -- in upcoming
issues.
Extra Tip: Dr. Ruwart suggests
that answers are often best
preceded by a "Ransberger
Pivot" statement, to establish
common ground with the
questioner. (Example: "Like you, I too
want to live in a world where
the environment is clean...
Like you, I too want to see
greater abundance for all
people...") For more on
the Ransberger Pivot communication
technique, see previous issues,

Return to the era of sweat shops and child
labor?
"I watched a bit of the
Libertarian national convention on
C-SPAN the other day. I was
shocked that libertarians propose
getting rid of Social Security
and Public Education. I'm
sorry but... have you people
ever studied history? One
hundred years ago sweat shops
and factories working child
laborers over 18 hours a day
were commonplace -- just like in
Upton Sinclair's novel The
Jungle! There was also
blacklisting, company stores,
tenement dwellings, etc. A
total libertarian-type of
system would promote a brief period
of very intense competition,
but once winners were
established, those winners
would use their power and
influence to change the rules
in order to maintain their
status in the market. They also
could establish a monopoly on
schools and turn them into a
place of indoctrination. It's
why we have anti-trust laws
today! A simplistic analogy would
be a football game without
officials and rules."
My short answer:
"History does indeed
remind us that child sweat-shop labor
was common in the 1800s.
History also shows us why.
"In the 1800s, wealth was
created slowly. Most of the
population, children included,
spent the better part of their
lives working just to survive.
Childhood, as we know it
today, didn't exist for most
people. In rural areas, even
children of four or five years
had chores to do. Their very
survival often depended upon
their participation in the
family's earnings.
"Eventually,
industrialization helped us to create wealth
rapidly. Eighteen-hour days,
the rural standard, gradually
turned into today's 8-hour
standard with adults becoming the
family's sole support. A
non-working childhood, as we know it
today, was born.
"An interim step in this
transition was the 10-12 hour
factory day for both children
and adults. We won't return to
this situation unless we limit
the creation of wealth.
Studies show that the greatest
single factor limiting wealth
creation today is government
intervention in the economy
(e.g., Fraser Institute's
Economic Freedom of the World
Report, 1997). The poverty of
the Third World is directly
attributable to this government
intervention. Children in
these poor nations often must
prostitute themselves just to
survive. Business has been so
strangled by government that
sweat shops, benign by
comparison, frequently aren't an
option.
"Government programs, even
well-meaning ones like Social
Security and public education,
are wasteful. Their
inefficient intervention in the
economy decreases wealth
creation, thereby jeopardizing
the welfare of our children.
"Without government
intervention, monopolies are rare.
Rockefeller gained 90% of the
market by producing high
quality oil at a price that the
masses could afford. However,
only a few years later,
competitors, who were willing to sell
for even less, captured a large
part of his market. Antitrust
action, which came decades
afterwards, simply wasted taxpayer
dollars. For details, see
Chapter 7 of my book, Healing Our
World, available as a free
download at http://www.ruwart.com.
"If this 'history' doesn't
match what you learned in school,
remember that today's
government has a monopoly on what is
taught. Children are forced to
attend a school which meets
government standards, including
approved textbooks. You
wouldn't expect such schools to
teach you the benefits of
freedom -- you'd expect them to
indoctrinate children into
thinking that Big Brother knows
best.
"Check out the research
for yourself. That way, you can't be
manipulated into supporting and
voting for the very things
that you despise."
* * *
Wouldn't libertarian-style free-market banking
result in fraud, chaos,
and lost savings?
Question:
"How would the monetary
policies of a libertarian nation be
controlled? Before the Federal
Reserve, the FDIC, and the New
Deal, there were runs on bank,
banks that failed and thus
lost their depositors' savings,
and everyone could print
their own money. How would the
banking system remain stable?
Would we revert to the chaos of
the 1800s?"
My short answer:
"Contrary to popular
opinion, chaos in the banking system is
usually caused by central
banking (e.g., Federal Reserve) and
regulatory bodies (e.g., FDIC).
Problems in the U.S. during
the 1800s were largely a result
of state regulations
requiring banks to hold part of
their reserves in government
bonds. When a run on the bank
occurred, these reserves could
only be liquidated at a loss.
"Scotland, which had free
(unregulated) banking until 1845,
had fewer problems. Each bank
issued its own currency, which
was accepted by other banks
only when it wasn't inflated
excessively. Thus, each bank
was 'regulated' by its
competition and the personal
liability of bank owners. Banks
informally insured each other's
deposits by covering them if
a competing bank went under. In
this way, banks kept the
confidence of the Scottish
people.
"Canada had a similar
system in place during the Great
Depression, so Canadians lost
only 3% of what U.S. depositors
did. The Depression was caused
by the Federal Reserve, which
was established in 1913. The
Fed allowed banks to inflate
their currency excessively,
which led to bankruptcies when
depositors tried to recover
their cash.
"A libertarian society
would have a system similar to that of
Scotland in the early 1800s and
Canada in the 1920s. As a
result, we'd have safer banking
and less chaos.
"You might wonder why free
(unregulated) banking was
abandoned and central banking
established, if free banking
worked so well. Central banking
allows governments to inflate
currency, thereby levying an
invisible tax on their people
and giving great profits to
banking interests. Of course,
you'd hardly expect
government-run schools to share this
secret.
"For more detail, see the
chapter 'Banking on Aggression'" in
my book, Healing Our World. You
can download it free from my
website at http://www.ruwart.com."
* * *
Should the U.S government forcibly open foreign
markets?
Question:
"Do you think it is
appropriate for the US government to use
its power to open foreign
markets to US companies? I'm
thinking in particular of how a
few years ago we almost had a
trade war with Japan because
Japan wouldn't open its domestic
car market to US manufacturers.
What do you think about this
issue?"
My short answer:
"Individuals should be
free to trade -- or not trade -- as
they choose, without government
interference or tariffs. If
American consumers feel they
benefit from buying inexpensive
Japanese goods, they should do
so freely. If our government
puts tariffs on Japanese cars
because Japan won't buy
American, we hurt ourselves as
a nation of consumers to
'protect' a few auto workers.
These tariffs force us to pay
more for cars, so we have less
money to spend on other
things. Production of these
other things goes down, and the
Americans producing them lose
their jobs. In the end,
protectionist measures put some
Americans out of work so that
others (e.g. auto workers) can
make more."
(See also the last third of
Chapter 18 in my book, "Healing
Our World" for more
details.)

PERSUASION POWER POINT
Big Government As Wile E. Coyote
by Michael Cloud
Ever watch Road Runner
cartoons?
They explain the secret of
government.
Road Runner is the Free Market.
Road Runner moves fast and
fends for himself.
He's self-reliant. An
individualist. He doesn't interfere
with others. He's free...as a
bird.
Wile E. Coyote is Big
Government. Wile E. Coyote wants to
live off Road Runner.
Acme Products are Big
Government programs.
Every episode, Wile E. Coyote
unveils a brilliant new Acme
Product to get the Road Runner.
Acme Products have great
blueprints and schematics and
seem foolproof.
Every episode, the brilliant
new Acme Product fails, smashes,
crashes, explodes, careens,
short-circuits, jams, and
collapses. Wile E. Coyote is
folded, spindled, mutilated, and
crushed by the Acme Product.
Usually after the hapless coyote
falls half a mile into a
ravine.
Wile E. Coyote is hopelessly
optimistic that the next Acme
Product will get Road Runner.
In spite of the fact that every
Acme Product ever built has
failed to get the bird.
Acme Products makes huge
profits selling these impossible
schemes and unworkable products
to a Coyote too dumb to
notice that he never gets Road
Runner - and always gets
smashed by the new Acme
Product.
Wile E. Coyote is spending a
fortune buying the next Acme
Product. A tax-funded fortune.
For an Acme Product and Coyote
that will fail and fall on us.
Meanwhile, Road Runner eludes
and evades, outruns and
outsmarts Wile E. Coyote and
the new Acme Product.
If the Coyote realized that
Acme doesn't work, he might stop
wasting our money...and maybe
even stop bugging Road Runner.
The folks working at Acme could
do something productive.
Road Runner could run farther
and faster - and maybe even
safely stop for birdseed now
and then.
Road Runner will never be safe
until he permanently shuts
down Acme Products -- and
demands that Wile E. Coyote keeps
his hands off Roadrunners.
Next time someone proposes a
new government program, next
time someone calls for
continuing to support and sustain a
government program, remember
Wile E. Coyote, label it "Acme
Products" and answer...
"Beep-Beep."
"Big Government As Wile E. Coyote" is
adapted from Michael
Cloud's tape "All That
Glitters," and this is just a small
part of a truly delightful and
inspiring talk. To get that
tape for FREE, see
"Product Review" below.
At the 2000 Libertarian Party
Presidential Nominating
Convention, Libertarian
delegates from across America voted
Michael Cloud "Best
Libertarian Communicator" and awarded him
the coveted "Thomas Paine
Award."
Michael Cloud is also creator

"All That Glitters," by Michael Cloud.
Cassette tape, 45 minutes.
If you enjoyed Michael Cloud's
"Persuasion Power Points"
column this issue, you'll be
delighted to learn that it is
adapted from a much longer
speech by Cloud - filled with
similar laughs, insight, humor
and communication wisdom.
And you'll be even happier to
learn you can get it for free.
"All That Glitters"
is vintage Michael Cloud - a great
speaker at his best. It is
filled with original and
provocative insights about the
nature of government - like
the Road Runner analogy in his
column - and reasons to be
optimistic about the future of
liberty. Some examples of the
tales and metaphors you'll find
in this speech:
* The Weight
Watchers' Test for Liberty
* Tiffany's vs.
Joe's Zirconium Shop
* Your invitation
to the First Libertarian Presidential
Inaugural Ball.
This is a great speech from one
of the best communicators in
the libertarian movement.
Michael knows communication -
