[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2018-22: PROPERTY RIGHTS RESOLUTION

Thank you Alex, I echo your sentiments, and since there seems to be some
residual issues, if I went overboard in my defense or advocacy and crossed
a line with anyone, please accept my deepest apologies. You can always
call me and yell at me. I miss Daniel Hayes calling me and yelling at me.
Please know my motivation is simple raw passion for our principles.
Alex also echoes something that is a real big deal to me. OPPOSE IDEAS,
don't oppose PEOPLE. There are many reasons for this, but here are a few:
1. It de-personalizes
2. It honours the whole human being by realizing that they are more than
walking containers for ideas, that they are more than their ideas, and
their value transcends their ideas.
3. People change. Treating ideas and people as interchangeable "bakes" in
an idea in an identity which makes a meeting of the minds and souls
difficult.
-Caryn Ann
PS: I will be repeating this is a new thread later that has nothing to do
with this vote.

Dear LNC,
As I stated in my in the initial vote, my door would be open for
the
entire LNC and Membership to discuss many of the strong emotions
and
sentiments on both sides of this motion.
In doing so I have decided to change my vote to Yes. Although in
doing
so I want to reaffirm the following.
1. My door is open to everyone on anything you think is
important for
the LNC to consider. I do encourage people to reach out to me
so I
can be an ally in your efforts. Although, as originally
stated if a
motion seems rushed or creates an environment where good
faith
disagreement can't be had I'll be pushing against it.
2. I've spoken to many of you on both sides and from the members
of
this body, all I've seen is good faith and passionate
sentiments
behind every vote. I ask that members who read this please
respect
my fellow LNC members and realize disagreement isn't and
shouldn't
be personal or an end to a conversation.
3. I hope that in the weeks to come we can continue to focus on
committee assignments and candidate support as I've seen so
many
exciting candidates make exciting moves and hit amazing
milestones,
to members reading please find the entire list at
[1]LP.org/candidates.
4. So hopefully, with all these lessons learned I want to show
my
appreciation for those whose passion for our core values led
to
them to putting forth this motion with my vote. While this
motion
may not be passed I want you to know I have heard your
concerns and
hope we can ALL forward together on the work that needs
doing.
5. I also reiterate my statement the other day regarding people
vs
ideas. As a party we are always inclusive of people who want
to be
part of what we’re building, but I hope those people in their
participation in the exchanges of ideas with other members
always
come closer to our core values and further away from bad
ideas that
revolve around the compulsion of others and closer to the
non-violent individualist world that I know our diverse
membership
wants to march towards through the success of our party.
In Liberty,
Alex Merced
