PRESIDENT’S CORNER
Dear friends,
There are miracles all around us, if we will just
open our eyes and see.
That is one of the key lessons in "I,
Pencil," a short, whimsical little story that is justly famous as one of
the greatest essays ever written about the wonders of the free market.
It was penned by Leonard E. Read (1898-1983),
Founding President of the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), America's
first free-market think tank.
The concept of "I, Pencil," is
simplicity itself -- indeed, the idea is so simple a child can understand it.
But it is also incredibly profound. Once that concept is truly understood, it
can change forever the way you look at the world.
"I, Pencil" is narrated by a pencil --
an ordinary yellow lead pencil of the type found in schoolrooms everywhere.
Ordinary, yes -- but also extraordinary. As the
Pencil says early in his story, "I, Pencil, simple though I appear to be,
merit your wonder and your awe... I have a profound lesson to teach."
And indeed he does. If you have not yet
encountered "I, Pencil," I urge you to do so right away. And if it's
been a while since you've read this classic, you may want to dip into its
wisdom again.
It's at our Web site:
The Foundation for Economic Education does
wonderful work in defense of the free market and individual liberty. Their Web
site
is a treasure-trove of information, which I highly
recommended.
Donald J. Boudreaux, a past president of FEE, once
wrote: "If I could choose one essay or book that everyone in the world
would read, I would unhesitatingly choose 'I, Pencil.'"
Yes, it's that powerful. Read it and be filled
with wonder.
* * *
Mark you calendar!

Persuasion" seminar is coming to Indianapolis, Indiana, June 12-13.

Zillion-Dollar Fighter Jet Just Needs A Few "Extras"
The following is excerpted from a longer
Associated Press article:
It was the sort of haggling more likely to be
found at a car dealership than a Senate conference room.
Air Force officials assured cost-conscious
lawmakers that they had swung a deal to get the next line of Georgia-made
F/A-22 Raptor fighter jets for the bargain-basement price of $110 million
each. Of course, if they wanted a few extras, that could lump another $40
million to $60 million onto the sticker price.
Only when pressed did they acknowledge that one of
the extras happens to be the engine.
"I've learned you've got to ask exactly the
right question at exactly the right time," said Rep. John Murtha of
Pennsylvania, the top Democrat on a defense appropriations panel. "It's
not new that they lied to us. They interpreted it as stretching the truth, but
the fact is, they're trying to get their program through."

Government Is Biggest Burden for U.S. Manufacturing
A blizzard of recent commentary has argued that
foreign competition and free trade pose major threats to American
manufacturing, and thus to jobs in manufacturing. Such arguments are used in
turn to support calls for protectionism and laws against
"outsourcing."
However, a new report by the National Association
of Manufacturers -- America's largest industrial trade association --
dramatically challenges that view. It finds that local, state and national
government policies within the United States are damaging U.S. manufacturing
far more than any foreign competitor or foreign trade policy.
Further, the report says that these policies are
"adding at least 22.4 percent to the cost of doing business from the
United States" and place American manufacturers at a severe competitive
disadvantage.
The study examines five areas that hit U.S.
manufacturers especially hard: corporate taxation; mandated health and pension
benefits; actual or threatened tort litigation; regulatory mandates,
especially those related to workplace safety, pollution abatement, and
corporate governance; and energy, particularly natural gas.
Here are some other findings, taken from a summary
provided by the libertarian Foundation for Economic Education:
1) “The U.S. corporate tax burden reduces cost
competitiveness by 5.6 percentage points”;
2) “U.S. employee benefit costs are higher than
most of its major competitors”;
3) “The regulatory compliance burden on U.S.
manufacturers is the equivalent of a 12 percent excise tax.”
The report makes a strong case that the greatest
threats to American manufacturing -- and American manufacturing jobs -- comes
from U.S. governments, not from free trade or foreign competition. The best
thing local, state and national governments can do to help is simply to get
out of the way.

New
Study: Decriminalizing Pot Doesn't Increase Drug Use
There is no link between the decriminalization of
marijuana and increased use of marijuana or other drugs. Indeed, if anything,
decriminalization of marijuana may lead to less use of other, stronger drugs.
That's the conclusion of a new study in the May
issue of the American Journal of Public Health, conducted by researchers at
the University of California, Santa Cruz.
The study, "The Limited Relevance of Drug
Policy: Cannabis in Amsterdam and in San Francisco," compares drug use
rates between users in San Francisco, where marijuana is illegal, and
Amsterdam, where marijuana can be purchased at licensed "coffee shops.
"
The study "found consistent similarities in
patterns of career use across different policy contexts," including mean
age of onset, frequency of use, quantity of use, intensity of intoxication,
and duration of career use.
"If drug policies are a potent influence on
user behavior, there should not be such strong similarities across such
different drug control regimes," the study concluded. "Our findings
do not support claims that criminalization reduces cannabis use [or] that
decriminalization increases cannabis use. Moreover, Dutch decriminalization
does not appear to be associated with greater use of other illicit drugs
relative to drug use in
San Francisco, nor does criminalization in San
Francisco appear to be associated with less use of other illicit drugs
relative to their use in Amsterdam. Indeed, to judge from the lifetime
prevalence of other illicit drug use, the reverse may be the case."
Allen St. Pierre, Executive Director of NORML
(National Organization for the Legalization of Marijuana), praised the study's
findings, noting that they mimic similar results commissioned by the U.S.
government which have found no greater use of marijuana in U.S. states that
have decriminalized its use compared to those that have not.
"More than 30 percent of the U.S. population
lives under some form of marijuana decriminalization, and according to
government and academic studies, these laws have not contributed to an
increase in marijuana consumption nor negatively impacted adolescent attitudes
toward drug use," St. Pierre said.
"Enforcing marijuana prohibition costs
taxpayers an estimated $10 billion annually and results in the arrest of
approximately 700,000 individuals per year. Yet, study after study shows that
this enforcement has little-to-no influence on individuals' behavior. Rather,
it is a tremendous waste of national and state criminal justice resources that
should be focused on combating serious and violent crime. It invites
government unnecessarily into areas of our private lives, and needlessly
damages the lives and careers of hundreds of thousands of otherwise
law-abiding citizens."

Policy":

Mind-Altering Drugs...
"I began to study marijuana in 1967... I had
not yet learned that there is something very special about illicit drugs. If
they don't always make the drug user behave irrationally, they certainly cause
many non-users to behave that way."
-- Harvard medical professor Lester Grinspoon,
author of "Marijuana: The Forbidden Medicine."

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.
In this column she gives readers "short answers to the tough
questions" that libertarians are frequently asked.
If you’d like Dr. Ruwart to craft effective
answers to YOUR "tough questions" on libertarian issues, just email
the questions to her at:
Due to volume, Dr. Ruwart can’t personally
answer or acknowledge all email queries. But we’ll run the best questions --

Four Questions and Answers on the Environment
Question:
"In a libertarian society, wouldn't polluters
get away with destroying the environment?"
My short answer:
"Government polluters get away with murder --
literally. When courts found the military liable for illness and death after
careless nuclear testing in Utah, the government claimed sovereign immunity
and refused to pay damages. (1) In a libertarian society, no one would be
immune from the consequences of their actions -- especially not a government
charged with protecting us.
"Libertarians believe that people and
governments should right their wrongs by restoring, as much as possible, what
they've damaged. Today, our government makes the taxpayers or new owners
shoulder the burden. If polluters don't pay for the damage they do, why should
they stop polluting?"
* * *
Question:
"How are we going to keep big business from
polluting too much, if not by government regulation?"
My short answer:
"Restitution is an effective deterrent,
especially to polluters, where restoration costs are monumental and polluters
could spend the rest of their lives working to compensate their victims.
"The process by which this
"justice" is administered works best when all property is held
privately. In Britain, for example, property owners successfully protect their
river segments from uphill pollution by suing for restitution. (2) In the
U.S., however, individuals are not allowed to sue polluters of public
property, and the bureaucrats would rather not antagonize businesses that can
contribute to their campaign chests."
* * *
Question:
"But don't we need some government oversight
to keep our environment from being destroyed?"
My short answer:
"The environment is already being destroyed
by our government! Our biggest polluter is the U.S. military, not corporate
America. In 1988, cleanup of 17 military bases was estimated to cost $100
billion over 50 years. (3) Putting government in charge of protecting the
environment is like asking the fox to guard the hen house.
"The most polluted countries in the world are
those where government has total control of the environment, such as Eastern
Europe."

PERSUASION POWER POINT #162
The Deal Breaker
by Michael Cloud
Has anyone ever told you that he couldn't be a
libertarian because of one "totally unacceptable" libertarian
position?
He agrees with libertarianism... except for the
one "non-negotiable" issue.
Everything but... abortion. Or immigration. Or the
death penalty. Or a non-interventionist foreign policy. Or gay marriage.
That issue is the Deal Breaker.
When confronted with the
"non-negotiable" Deal Breaker objection, most libertarians try to
reason with the person about the issue. They offer evidence and arguments to
change the person's opinion. They spend their time responding to the Deal
Breaker.
They usually fail. After a long, drawn-out,
frustrating discussion.
That's what I used to do. I failed, too.
Then I found an approach that let me get past the
Deal Breaker.
Here's what happened.
In 1996, the Harry Browne for President campaign
hosted a number of fundraising events. Harry Browne would give his powerful
"Government Doesn't Work" speech and answer questions from the
audience.
I emceed the event and did the fundraising. We
delivered high-octane libertarianism.
One evening, after an event ended, a man and a
woman approached me.
The man said, "I really like what I heard
tonight. I agree with libertarianism on everything except one thing: abortion.
Until you change your tune on abortion, I can't be a libertarian."
"Thank you for letting me know where you
stand," I said. "May I ask you a question? Are you married?"
"Yes, I'm married," he said.
"How many years have you been married?"
I asked.
"Twenty-three years," he said.
"Congratulations," I said. "Maybe
you can help me out with something. Do you always 100% agree with your wife
100% of the time on 100% of everything? Do you totally, completely,
absolutely, without exception, 100% always agree with your wife? Does she
always, totally 100% agree with you?"
"No, of course not," he said.
"Are you glad you married her?" I asked.
He looked into her eyes. "Yes, I am," he
said.
"Couldn't you embrace the Libertarian Party
the same way?" I asked. "Couldn't you be compatible with the
Libertarian Party in the same way?"
I took out a registration form, signed him up and
collected his dues. Then I did the same with his smiling bride.
I gave him and his wife a different way to look at
their Deal Breaker.
I could have asked him whether he had a best
friend. Or whether he owns a home. Or whether he works for someone. Or whether
he belongs to a church.
The Marriage Model persuasion pattern above can be
used with these examples, as well.
Don't let points of disagreement stand in the way
of points of agreement.
Don't let things we can't work together on stand
in the way of things we *can* work on.

PRODUCT REVIEW:
How to Answer Hard Questions About Liberty
"Short Answers to the Tough Questions"
by Dr. Mary J. Ruwart. 95-page large-format paperback. (PLUS FREE bonus gift
if you order now!)
Just in time for the campaign season -- and the
public's heightened interest in political matters!
Dr. Mary Ruwart is no stranger to Liberator Online
readers, who have made her column "Ask Dr. Ruwart" one of our most
popular features.
This book, "Short Answers to the Tough
Questions," is an outgrowth of her Liberator Online column. Readers who
have enjoyed and benefited from her column will want to read this book -- and
start putting its many suggestions to use.
Anyone who's ever argued in favor of liberty has
faced the "tough questions." Mostly, they are practical objections
to the idea of less government.
Most go something like this: "How can we have
(fill in the blank) without taxes and without government
intervention?"
Unless you can give a short, convincing answer to
such questions, your libertarian beliefs will seem foolish, hopelessly naive
and perhaps even repulsive to questioners.
That's what makes this book so useful. In it you
will find short, persuasive and practical answers to fully *132* of the most
commonly-asked questions about libertarianism. Included, too, are references
to back up the arguments.
(Yes, 132 questions and answers -- complete with
documentation!)
The "short" part of the title is
important. As Dr. Ruwart notes:
"We often don't have time for a protracted
discussion. As candidates, we're expected to keep our answers to a minute or
two. In a classroom discussion of libertarianism, we must be brief if we wish
to cover more than one topic. Our friends question us to be sociable, not
necessarily to hear a lecture."
Dr. Ruwart has divided these answers into 16
categories for easy reference. These are: restitution, roads, environment,
children's rights, animal rights, national defense, helping the poor,
abortion, the War on Drugs, assisted suicide, discrimination, consumer
protection, trade and tariffs, gun control, education, and a set of
"miscellaneous issues."
*** These aren't esoteric questions. They are the
ones that get thrown at libertarians over and over again. *** If you talk to
anyone about libertarianism, you'll be faced with them, guaranteed.
This book can help you answer them quickly,
successfully and persuasively -- and, if you practice them and put them in
your own words, you'll always have them ready for use.
Dr. Ruwart has written her answers to be as useful
as possible to libertarian communicators. The first paragraph of each of her
answers is designed to stand alone, and to work as a brief "soundbite."
The following paragraphs develop the answer further, if you have more time.
For some questions, she's given more than one answer, so you can pick one most
suited to your audience.
Dr. Ruwart has been on hundreds of TV and radio
shows, and has spoken live to audiences of all types around the world. When it
comes to answering the "tough questions," she knows whereof she
speaks.
Now you can benefit from her experience and hard
work.
You don't have to be at a loss when suddenly hit
with a "tough question" about libertarianism. And you don't have to
reinvent the wheel -- this book will get you rolling right away.
Great for candidates, speakers -- and anyone and
everyone else who wants to be more effective, more persuasive, and more
successful in communicating the glorious ideas of liberty.
