Harry Browne, we hardly knew ye

[arkuat]

Yeah, I know about all the bad stuff about Perry Willis double-dealing with the party. But I just recently read for the first time some splendid things Harry Browne wrote during the time when I was ignoring him (which unfortunately for me extended until his death in 2006), about the recent wars and why they were wrong.

It starts here: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=24444 and continues for three more installments.

I'm a bit disturbed about the prospect of having Clinton succeed Rice as Secretary of State. If this is going to be the case, then I sure hope that Obama has read these posts of Harry Browne and paid close attention to them. I fear that this is not the case.

Yeah, I think by the fourth one he was getting tired of dealing with all the negative feedback (the first one was posted on 2001 September 12, after all), and lazily sinking back into the weak intellectual habit of shoehorning any and all problems into analysis by the traditional Libertarian ideology.

Or perhaps he was still planning to run again in 2004 and just trying to "reconnect to his base", as people say when talking about politicians, which class of people Browne always disparaged even after becoming one, of a sort.
