SD Libertarian Party Convention coming June 3rd

I'm banning Bob Newland from commenting on the blog for a while until he can learn some manners. Not everyone agrees with medical marijuana, and telling people to commit a carnal act on themselves doesn't encourage debate.

Half of the people who comment here tell me I'm full of crap, and that's ok. They're entitled to their opinions. But they at least manage to do it thoughtfully without calling names.

So, Bob can go abuse people over on Mt. Blogmore for a while.

Regardless, he did send out a press release which I'll print for the South Dakota Libertarians who are holding their annual convention on June 3rd.

The South Dakota Libertarian Party Convention...

needs to get an approximate number to Al's, so they can arrange for
seating.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to run for an office and get
some experience in politics. You can be as active at campaigning as you
want to be; we don't expect you to make it your profession (that's part
of what we're trying to influence upon other politicians).

To run for office, the only philosophical requirement is that you agree
with us that it is wrong to _initiate_ force or commit fraud to achieve
personal or political goals. (Use of force in defense of oneself or
others is not wrong.)
Check out their website at http://www.sdlp.us for more information.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
