    Yeah, but libertarians are (a) loudmouths who it takes duct tape to shut us up and (b) the new distribution system we're using for Alongside Night, TUGG.com, allows libertarians to be entrepreneurs (not capitalists, because it doesn't require any capital beyond having web access, only labor) by putting movies into their local movieplex and selling tickets to their friends and neighbors. Now libertarians can be precisely as annoying as Jehovah's Witnesses and those guys supposedly paying their way through college selling magazine subscriptions.

    I've actually has some success outside the libertarian movement, and that's exactly where my frustration comes from. When the wider world is accepting of art with libertarian themes and libertarians themselves ignore proven outreach in favor of works of interest only to academics and other intellectuals, it's just dumb.

    I agree.
    Art is one of the areas through which we need to reach out and communicate.

    In regards to formal Academia, for those who reject the outright Marxist throat-cramming, there's still the default throat-cramming of Platonism over Aristotelianism.

    In regard to informal Academia (self-eduction), one of the issues is that some Libertarians believe that they must convince other Academics, not the people whom those same Academics are trying to convince.

    So, again, art: cut out the middle-man.

    If you get a chance, you might (or might not) enjoy my own effort to message through art - Juvenalian satire in verse.

    And, BTW, welcome to the virtual Gulch.
