This thread discusses the Content article: The Predicament Of Mike Gravel...

It is encouraging that Gravel has changed to the Libertarian Party, however he is far from a Libertarian. I hope that his switch will encourage his supporters to research our party and become true classical liberals.

I disagree with your post on a couple of issues. His National Initiative proposal moves our country dangerously closer to democracy. I know - we were all taught in our government schools that democracy is such a wonderful thing that all nations should strive for. Democracy is exactly what our founders wanted to avoid. Our constitution balances power between the majority and the minority with a constitutionally limited republic. Our republic protects the minority from the tyranny of the majority. His proposal does away with this protection.

I also disagree that we need to enact the Net Neutrality Act. A much better solution would be to open up the broadband market as proposed here. Also see Cato's Policy Analysis Net Neutrality: Digital Discrimination or Regulatory Gamesmanship in Cyberspace?
