Ready for Correction
I particularly enjoyed talking with Jim Ramsey. Told that I was a Libertarian, his first association was nationally syndicated radio talk show host Neal Boortz. Yes, I said, he's pretty close to my way of thinking. He just spoke at our national convention.

Now, obviously Jim's a consumer of some right wing talk radio. However, in accordance with the best end of talk radio listeners, "consumer" probably isn't quite the right word. He disagrees with Boortz a lot of the time, and says he likes to argue back to the radio when he's listening. He's a man after my own heart. I know I've driven down the road cussing Limbaugh a time or six.
So, being in league with Neal Boortz doesn't necessarily mean that Mr. Ramsey's going to agree with me about everything. That's good. Anybody who agrees with anyone about everything probably isn't doing much critical thinking. What we need is not just to drag bunches of dumb warm bodies to polling places, but for the citizens to make actively thoughtful and informed choices.
So then, I will suggest to all my readers and constituents the same thing I did to Jim. Look through my campaign website (www.morethings.com/senate) and find something where you DISagree with me. Then write me a letter at barger4senate@gmail.com and tell me where I'm wrong. Please be as specific as possible, and tell me why.
It's always nice when people write me notes telling me how right I am. But heck, I already knew that. I don't learn anything that way.
Show me something where I'm wrong, or I've missed an important fact or consideration. You might actually learn me something. I'd like that.
