John Moore is just playing the cards dealt to him by our non-competitive governance system. True, Moore could have done a much better job of applying Libertarian principles.

Man’s primary means of survival, rational self-interest, can be successfully leveraged, as demonstrated by the proven success of free markets, or it can be perverted by compulsory authoritarian governance. Brute-force censure and candidate contracts would be required to have any chance of success using the boilerplate approach of strapping our Libertarian principles on the back of a corrupt compulsory governance system that rewards the perversions of self-interest exemplified by statism, nationalism and cronyism. However, the predictable failure cycle of compulsory governance systems throughout history irrefutably demonstrates that the brute-force behavior modification method of censure and candidate contracts will likely have little sustainable impact in relieving the continued frustration and failure of Libertarians in their quest for freedom. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Folks, the bottom line is that we will not get Libertarian candidates pointed consistently away from the evils of authoritarian statism until we strap our principles on top of a governance system that rewards the application of self-interest in the direction of more freedom, not less. We know that competition does not require behavior modification but instead fosters Adam Smith’s “Invisible Hand” free-market foundation of “everyone acting in their self-interest in competition for scarce resources”. Let us reject futile attempts at behavior modification and instead work smarter not harder by leveraging self-interest as we reject compulsory authoritarian governance and apply our Libertarian principles in the context of competitive free-market voluntary governance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Thoughts?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>The Invisible Hand of Rational Self-Interest is Mightier Than the Sword of Government!</span></i></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>~David Pratt Demarest</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Lnc-business [mailto:lnc-business-bounces@hq.lp.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Caryn Ann Harlos<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, October 22, 2016 10:58 PM<br><b>To:</b> lnc-business@hq.lp.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [Lnc-business] Candidate contracts - legal advice?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I love the idea Starchild- i was focusing on the legal question Arvin presented.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Your last paragraph was beautiful.
