Quotable

"American Indians are caught in the same dilemma as libertarians. We're neither left nor right. We're just for freedom. The left only came around when they needed martyrs. When we wouldn't be martyrs, they abandoned us.

"I'm for a free market. I only oppose the misuse of technology. A libertarian society would not allow anyone to injure others by pollution because it insists on individual responsibility. That's part of the beauty of libertarianism."

-- from an interview in Libertarian Party News, July 1987

"The Advocates for Self-Government are for real. Libertarians who want to get real should put into action what the Advocates teach."
