I am overwhelmed by the number of posts about 9/11 conspiracies without one single post proposing a rational course of action the Libertarian Party can pursue on this issue. I think the fact that there is nothing we can do about it is what makes it so attractive. Nobody wants to delve into issues we can actually work on, because that would entail the need to either start working or start making lame excuses for not working. As long as we can distract ourselves by paying attention to things we cannot really impact as an organization, we don't have to confront our failure to actually do anything.

I think the fact that there is nothing we can do about it is what makes it so attractive.

As long as we can distract ourselves by paying attention to things we cannot really impact as an organization, we don't have to confront our failure to actually do anything. I posted a resolution on proposed tax changes, which is the hottest political issue in the state at this time, and I got two responses -- one endorsing it and one asking very reasonable logistical questions. Everyone else seems to have ignored it. That wouldn't bother me if people were preoccupied with other initiatives that they might take action on, but the conversation has not been about anything we might do. Instead, we argue endlessly about something we cannot know for certain one way or another, cannot resolve one way or the other, and cannot build an action agenda around. What's the point?
