Statist destroyer, founder of Think Liberty, Region 5 Rep Libertarian Party of Washington, Candidate for Washington's 49th district, and LNC Chair Challenger.
My Vision of Chair
The Chairman of the LNC should be the most vocal mouthpiece of the party. The intentions of the Chair should be positive reinforcement of our principles, outreach, education, retention, and new membership.
These key areas will be the road map to the success of the LP. We cannot drop principle in hopes to accrue those who don't agree with our message. We can only hope to show them the light that is sovereignty of the individual or "self ownership". The message of liberty stands on its own, but with a good messenger, it will spread like wildfire.

About The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money
Why we need to stop wasting public funds on education
Despite being immensely popular--and immensely lucrative?education is grossly overrated. In this explosive book, Bryan Caplan argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skill but to certify their intelligence, work ethic, and conformity?in other words, to signal the qualities of a good employee. Learn why students hunt for easy As and casually forget most of what they learn after the final exam, why decades of growing access to education have not resulted in better jobs for the average worker but instead in runaway credential inflation, how employers reward workers for costly schooling they rarely if ever use, and why cutting education spending is the best remedy.
Caplan draws on the latest social science to show how the labor market values grades over knowledge, and why the more education your rivals have, the more you need to impress employers. He explains why graduation is our society's top conformity signal, and why even the most useless degrees can certify employability. He advocates two major policy responses. The first is educational austerity. Government needs to sharply cut education funding to curb this wasteful rat race. The second is more vocational education, because practical skills are more socially valuable than teaching students how to outshine their peers.
Romantic notions about education being "good for the soul" must yield to careful research and common sense?The Case against Education points the way.

The Problem of Political Authority: An Examination of the Right to Coerce and the Duty to Obey
Modern states commonly deploy coercion in a wide array of circumstances in which the resort to force would clearly be wrong for any private agent. What entitles the state to behave in this manner? And why should citizens obey its commands? This book examines theories of political authority, from the social contract theory, to theories of democratic authorization, to fairness- and consequence-based theories. Ultimately, no theory of authority succeeds, and thus no government has the kind of authority often ascribed to governments.
The author goes on to discuss how voluntary and competitive institutions could provide the central goods for the sake of which the state is often deemed necessary, including law, protection from private criminals, and national security. An orderly and livable society thus does not require acquiescence in the illusion of political authority.
