They obviously are doing such a good job that people don't even notice how bad a job they're doing. And won't. Until it's too late. ;) Why think when you can let Big Government do it for you?

Having received no answer, I wouldn't lay any money on the prospect of thinking being involved in any way. Yes, I did ask; but I didn’t suppose.

You asked what makes her think...in 6. In the case of a great many people, no power in the universe seems to be able to cause them to think. @9 Very droll. You asked what makes her think…in 6.

In the case of a great many people, no power in the universe seems to be able to cause them to think.

Media coverage of the passing of Marylin Chambers

Many mainstream media sources have ignored the passing of Marilyn Chambers, but it’s great to see that those who have recognized her this week have had so many positive things to say about her film work as well as her political involvement. Here are some examples from a few publications that have reported on her passing this week.

After profiling her film career, Reason Magazine “Hit & Run” said this of her libertarian activism:

In 2004 she ran for vice president on the Personal Choice ticket, a spinoff of sorts from the Libertarian Party. She was later involved in the Boston Tea Party, another Libertarian offshoot, and in some states she served last year as the BTP’s vice-presidential candidate.

The Canadian Western Standard has published two pieces covering her death. The first called her “a champion of free speech, among other libertarian values.”

The second, posted last night, quoted the Boston Tea Party chair:

To Marilyn Chambers, liberty was about a lot more than politics. She did everything with a revolutionary, libertarian attitude. (I am sure the fans of her films would emphasize that word ‘everything.’)

She exemplifies a complete libertarian, and she will be missed by many in our party and the international libertarian movement.

Smaller Government, Bigger Boston Tea Party

Perhaps as people filled out their tax forms this week, they remembered again just how fed up they are with big government. I have had a full inbox every day this week with BTP members eager to get involved in actively supporting the party and starting some new affiliates.

We have affiliates in Alabama, California, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Texas. At the contact page, you can get in touch with your state party’s chair. Or, if your state does not yet have an affiliate, you can contact me and let me know that you are interested in starting one.

As I and some other members have emphasized, we need to get active now if we want to be successful in the 2010 elections, and that will set us up to do even better in the big year of 2012. Thank you for all the emails folks. I will keep doing my best to reply to you and help you to help us increase the size and scope of the Boston Tea Party while reducing the size and scope of government!
