<DIV><FONT size=4>Perhaps you or perhaps someone who is a full-fledged
libertarian can explain.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Full-fledged libertarians allegedly believe in the maximum of
personal choice and freedom. They also believe that the test of the value
of a product is whether it succeeds in the marketplace.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Shouldn't a libertarian not only allow but demand that people
be allow to choose what they watch on TV free of censorship? Shouldn't a
libertarian not only allow but demand that market forces should determine what
is produced and offered on TV?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Of course, I'm old. But in the days of my 30s,
libertarians were the ones who were adamantly opposed to censorship of any kind,
opposed to interference in the news and entertainment markets by so-called
moralists, and who were strongly in favor of extremely liberal freedom of
information laws.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>

claims to be a libertarian, is the attack dog for the </FONT><FONT size=6><FONT
