Actually, the problem with the Jim Crow system is that it was government MANDATED discrimination. Freedom would be better served if all private businesses could reject any customer for any reason under any circumstance but that no one was forced to discriminate. Let the market sort it all out.

The best argument that Block makes is that Donald Trump brings up some foreign policies that are never heard from other D and R candidates.

True. He is not well known, but I think that discontent with the candidates from the major parties will lead people to seek out alternatives. I also think that, if he continues to poll well, then the mainstream media will start to treat this fact as newsworthy and will also give him more coverage. In any event, he is obviously not going to win, but the combination of Clinton and Trump has created a great opportunity for the Libertarian Party to reach out beyond its existing voters.

Dear Roger,

I always enjoy your “blog” I shouldn’t worry about Trump, he is like you write a “great showman” and thats exactly what you need for a president, other people behind the puppet-show pull the strings. Every thing better than the other puppet Clinton.

Have a nice Easter-weekend.

Hans
