Dancing With Myself

See that little menu item up top under the masthead that says "The Conversation"? Well click it already! It's the new Liberal Capitalist Party forums now at www.liberalcapitalist.org, and I can't decide if they're more cool or groovy.
Back before 9/11 when I was still a Libertarian, I happened upon the link to a marijuana growing website called OverGrow. In a flash of brilliance it occurred to me that perhaps with pot being illegal and all, it might be easy converting these particular heathen to the Libertarian gospel. Well it turns out that most pot growers are are also pot smokers and as such decidedly leftist, but that's not the point. The forums on that website were a thing to behold, with thousands and thousands of people posting from all over the world in umpteen languages every day. There were pages and pages of conversation threads discussing every topic imaginable, from various growing methods to politics to legal advice to entertainment to just shooting the breeze. And the forum software they used made it easy to navigate the site amongst all of these conversations. Unfortunately the site owners eventually ran afoul of the law in Canada, where it was hosted, a few years after the war on terror commenced and I'd long given up proselytizing for the Libertarian Party. OverGrow was a very huge, very unique community, and it's a shame it's gone.
Anyway, check out The Conversation and help make it just that, a conversation: register and post a knock-knock joke, or tell me I'm full of it or something. We have a lot to talk about.

The road to wisdom? Well it's plain
and simple to express:
Err, and err,
and err again,
but less, and less, and less.
