Candidate Survey - Louisville Metro Candidates International Science and Engineering Fair in Louisville by Theresa Fritz Camoriano This week, Louisville has the honor of hosting the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, in which 1250 high school students from 38 countries, speaking 13 different languages, will be presenting their science fair projects. (My husband still needs more volunteer translators, so let us know if you are available!) These students have already won local, regional and national science fair competitions in order to qualify to attend this fair. Your Papers, Please! By George Baumler Drivers' licenses, national ID cards, on-file photographs of citizens, and other police state ideas are more and more in vogue lately. Reasons vary from xenophobia, to the drug war or the national crisis du jour. Kentuckians narrowly avoided a scheme to use driver’s license photos as a substitute for a criminal lineup. Proponents shilled that the photos would not be used as the sole reason for arresting an individual. Some of the same folks assured everyone that no one would be stopped and cited solely for not wearing a seat belt in a private automobile. The credibility gap is not getting any narrower. A Gottbrath of Fresh Air By Greg Holmes The May 9 meeting of the Jefferson County Libertarian Party was enlivened by an informative and wide-ranging talk given by Linda Gottbrath, the Republican candidate in the November 5 election for State Representative in District 46, located in Southern Jefferson County. Mrs. Gottbrath is contesting the seat currently held by House Speaker Pro Tempore Larry Clark, the third highest ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives. EAST END CANDIDATE IS AGAINST THE VET AND TAX FUNDED ARENA By Woody Oakes In late April I sent e-mail to all nine candidates for Metro Council, District 16, and ask the following two questions: MORE CONTROL! No Cell Phones In Voting Booths! Terry Gray Candidate On the news last night I saw a story about voting. Not your usual story but one little blip that struck me as funny and made me mad on several levels. I both agreed and disagreed with the subject of the story. POLITICIANS AREN’T PROTECTING PEOPLE FROM MINING METHOD By Woody Oakes Strip mining in Appalachia is more accurately named mountaintop removal mining. Rape of the land would be a better name.

Milton Friedman has shown us that when government attempts to substitute its own judgments for the judgments of free people, the results are usually disastrous. In contrast to the free market's invisible hand, which improves the lives of people, the government's invisible foot tramples on people's hopes and destroys their dreams.
President George W. Bush in tribute to Milton Friedman
We are a free people. We are self-organizing. You can’t destroy our leadership. We are our leadership. You can’t destroy America by destroying our elite. Think about America’s elite. Think about it down through history. Destroy our elite and about half the time you’re doing us a favor.
P.J. O’Rourke (from Cato’s letters, Volume 1, number 1, http://www.cato.org)
