Cc: ann_bunker-nospam-@city.vancouver.bc.ca Bcc: Media.... I go around checking out the signs I put up and on several occasions, I noticed them pulled off and/or covered over on Granville-Dunsmuire, Cambie-Cordova (West Side), Commercial-Napier, Seymore-Hastings. Now in some cases it's fringe posters from individuals unfriendly to the Libertarian Ideals, but not dogma, and some in the occasion off Seymore-Hastings, Commercial-Napier and I think Granville-Dunsmuire the signs were replaced by COPE's huge fundrasing advertisement, in read andd white. It's bad enough I get electronic harasment, via eschelon signals, low frequency, RF, EM, FM, etc...., eudora timeouts, and even Paint Shop Pro timeouts, but this is ruining all my hard work, a labor of love for gawd sakes, it goes beyond the simple campaign, it goes to my own passions as an Indivisdualist, a Republican, A Libertarian, and a believer in the democratic process, even when flawed. The less flawed the better. Please investigate.

O'Rourke -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "There may not be an 'I' in team, but there is an 'I' in Libertarian (in fact 2)" -- Gölök Buday, April of 2002 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "...I would have wished that no one in the state that could claim he was above the law, and that no one from outside the state could dictate a law [Fuck the UN] that the state was obliged to recognize. For regardless of how the government is formally constituted, if there is a single man not subject to the law, all the others are necessarily at that man' mercy." -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau; To The Republic Of Geneva: Discourse On Inequality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...It follows that if in such a fortunate situation it (the country/ state) would have nothing to fear but itself, and if citizens were trained in arms, it would be more for maintaining that soldiery spirit and noble courage that are so well suited for freedom and cultivate the taste for it rather than from the necessity for it's citizens' actual defence. -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau; To The Republic Of Geneva: Discourse On Inequality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Freedom can only exist if all laws apply to all people." -- Jean-Jacques Rousseau; possible paraphrase. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Think, it isn't illegal yet." -- George Clinton -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A Press That Is Not Free Isn't A Press At All" -- Gölök Buday -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A Government, Of All Things, Is To Be Questioned And Inspected" -- Gölök Buday -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "At The Very Least, Insanity Isn't Unsanitary" -- Gölök Buday -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "it is an abomination for a person's tax dollars to be used to further a faith to which he does not subscribe. You want to pray, go to church. Nobody's objecting." -- Thomas Jefferson -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I am the first Prime Minister of this country of neither altogether English nor French origin. So I determined to bring about a Canadian citizenship that knew no hyphenated consideration." - Prime Minister Diefenbaker, March 29, 1958, Maclean's. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We shall never build the nation which our potential resources make possible by dividing ourselves into Anglophones, Francophones, multiculturalphones, or whatever kind of phoneys you choose.
