It seems only fair before I get too into the weeds here to just give you the facts of the con. I don’t really see any point in keeping anyone waiting through four hours of a South Park-esque presentation for something that really only takes maybe 1-2 hours and two or three documents to get to the core of it all.

Here are some links for a bit of light reading that gave me a good idea of what this debacle was all about:

“Libertarian of the Month Ripoff Dept.” (The Libertarian Forum, Monthly Newsletter, May 1975, page 7)

Caselaw: PEOPLE v. CARMICHAEL (Court of Appeal, Second District, Division 2, California, Decided: May 23, 1980)
