Bummer.

I sat at a table with him when he spoke at Liberty Forum a few years ago.
He seemed like a really nice guy. To be brutally honest, though, he was boring as hell to sit with. Just wanted to talk about the LP, and its glory days, in which I have less than zero interest.

The glory days are yet to come. Every month, I find, even in liberal New York, more people willing to call themselves Libertarians.

Yeah but those people aren't.  They're Goldwater Republicans who found out that the republican party isn't.

I dunno about that, but thats enough of off topic stuff.

David Nolan convinced at minimum hundreds of thousands of people that they loved liberty.

Here is an improvement on the Nolan Chart that explains all the different libertarians using 3 dimensions instead of 2.

Example: Ayn Rand/Neal Boortz could be considered oligarchy/monarchy [positive liberty] libertarians vs a Rothbard/Jefferson who are [negative liberty]  anarchy/minarchy libertarians...
