Feedback on the Mass Convention speech:
I made it to six minutes and yes, Larry, you are very bad at explaining "how to get there."
Here's the game plan you have presented:
We (Libertarians) are pissed off but have to pretend we are not when we talk to other people. Then we can convince them that if we destroy the government and eliminate taxes that we will still have roads. The government won't build roads, but "someone will have to."
So, again, yeah, you are doing a lousy job explaining "how to get there," or you are just incredibly naive - to believe that if we eliminate government or "starve it" all the functions it performs will just magically happen - or maybe both. Yeah, I am going to go with both: you are not good at explaining complex things and you are naive.
Sorry Roto, not an impressive speech.

JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
