I added this to My Page as a reminder why I got involved beginning 1973 - 1978. My feelings remain the same.
In the comments below “The current activity in the Middle East may cause the death of thousands of our American youth.” was Iraq (1). We lost hundreds in Iraq (1) beginning Aug 2, 1990 in the Gulf War only nine months after this letter was written and subsequently thousands in 911 and Iraq (2). We do not want an Iran (1).

Re: IRS Information Document Request Letter dated 9/13/90

Dear Ms. Mahdee:

No Liter Research and Development is a company with a Mission Statement that is trying to create a better environment for the world that will help allow its inhabitants to live without fear of death from carcinogens because of current technology. It is an objective of the company to help clean the planet's air and help stop global warming. Another objective of the company is to develop technology that will lower America's trade deficit and allow the sale of product to the world that is manufactured in America that is less dependent on fossil fuels; therefore, making the world less dependent on the Middle East for fossil fuels. It is another objective of the company to help prevent what is now happening in the Middle East. The current activity in the Middle East may cause the death of thousands of our American youth. It is yet another objective of the company to develop technology that will help lower the cost to the American people of product that is now costly because of current technology.

State your political view point:

For a number of years I've identified myself as a "Strong Libertarian" Occasionally I felt the Libertarians had an odd perspective on what constituted an 'acceptable' member. Ah well. it seemed like the best possible compromise for a strong 3rd party.

Somewhat recently I became more aware of what are known as Objectivists. I had a longtime yet peripheral awareness of them as followers of Ayn Rand. However upon further investigation I realized the definition fit my own political views fairly well. It's not a cult of personality as many believe, but concise set of axioms that are quite coherent.

Both viewpoints Libertarian & Objectivist seem to share much common ground. Neither are the wishy-washy attitudes of the current Dem or GOP that have destroyed the US economy and created the political oligarchy. I urge everyone with a clear mind to investigate further before drawing conclusions.

The Light is Green!
