Mike, if you look at the most popular threads at BC they are often the most silly. A sure way to get comments is to say something sexual, such as 'boobs' or 'tits' in a headline. Or mention Britney, Christina or Paris. Moral of story: Don't take getting comments so seriously. Hmmm. Second thoughts. One can easily use 'boobs' and 'libertarians' in a headline.

Aside from that, there are occasional posts by AB, not unexpected since he's running for office, but I don't see all that much participation in those, either.

Indiana, mission statements, and Libertarians aren't much of a draw.

It's a very narrow topic, while BC reaches the world, where there's a whole bunch of exciting stuff going on. You're welcome.

Hard not to notice the absence of traffic on this thread. Why is that? Is it that it was devoid of the sort of rhetoric that demands knee-jerk responses by the usual suspects, or, is it that there was the issuance of a challenge that none wished to, or was able to meet? I'm torn. Anyhow, I will be in attendance at the gubernatorial debate tomorrow. I'll have to
