      Dr. Block:<br>
      <br>
      Coming up with the perfect definition of libertarianism is above
      my intellectual capacity, and the times I've searched for the
      definition, I've found a variety of definitions.<br>
      <br>
      That's one reason I wrote a whole chapter on the issue, and gave
      various definitions from various sources. <br>
      <br>
      <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://secure.piryx.com/donate/uO2ehmy0/libertarian/renewbookintro">https://secure.piryx.com/donate/uO2ehmy0/libertarian/renewbookintro</a><br>
      <br>
      I'm going to forward your comments to our board. Some of them are
      on our publications committee as well as our platform committee
      and convention committee. They might have more thoughts on this
      issue.<br>
      <br>
      I think it would be entertaining and informative to have you and
      maybe 3 others on a panel at a lunch at our national convention
      where each of you have to submit a maximum one page definition of
      libertarianism in advance, each of you on the panel should get
      each others' definitions in advance, and then each of you debate
      the weakness or wrongness of the others' definitions. Of course if
      the whole panel agrees on the exact definition of libertarianism,
      count on me to quote it going forward.<br>
      <br>
      Thanks for all you do for liberty, and especially for your recent
      work helping to build interest in the Libertarian Party of
      Louisiana (even if they did go into civil war mode and squander
      quite a bit of your support).<br>
