The 1994 Society is the heart and soul of the LPIN's continued existence. Begun in the late 1990's to sustain the LPIN's presence in Indiana's political landscape, the Society represents monthly donors to the party.
Some Martin Luther King on this day. He’s a personal hero. A man that used words to inspire a peaceful revolution of thought and spirit in America; asking her to fulfill it’s ultimate promise of justice.
By Chris Spangle, Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of Indiana
First, thank you for an amazing year. I have loved every minute of serving you in my role as Executive Director over the last 12 months. I can assure you that 2010 will be a year that will forever transform both the LPIN and Indiana politics. I thank you for all the hard work that you have put in beside me in the last 12 months to grow the LPIN. But Thanksgiving is not just a day to give thanks for our friends, families, and blessings.
It is also a day to remember the sacrifice that generations before us made in the name of liberty.
From the 1600’s to now, generations have fought powers that seek to maintain power. They’ve fought for religious freedom, personal freedom, freedom to associate, freedom to write and speak what you wish, against racial injustice, the freedom to cast a ballot, and now financial freedom and personal choice.
How disgraced our generation will be if we are the ones that cast this fight aside, and settle in to the comfortable, loving arms of dysfunctional Uncle Sam?
Through the Libertarian Party, we can begin to change the way our government views us. We are not their servants. We are not an endless source of revenue. We are not powerless to stop them.
I joined the Libertarian Party because it is not a political party made of professional politicians and hired guns. It does not have to fight special interests and good old boy networks within itself to affect change. We are beholden to no one.
If you are reading this, you are the Libertarian Party, and without your efforts, we cannot grow. For 2010 to be the transformational year that it can be, we will need your help:
I believe that sitting on the sidelines in 2010 is not an option because the Libertarian Party is only as strong as it’s membership allows it to be.
Sincerely,
Chris Spangle, Executive Director
Libertarian Party of Indiana

For your viewing pleasure, here are some Halloween videos to watch today. First, some costumes from last night’s Letterman. It was hilarious. Then some Peanuts!
And be sure to stop by the homestead tonight… This year, every trick or treater that visits my house will be getting a Nobel Peace Prize!
Some social media “experts” fawn over the Web 2.0 revolution of the internet over the last few years… “It’s so wonderful that millions of minds are connecting on twitter to solve the world’s problems!”
Opinions are like A-Holes…
It seems from my vantage point that the further down the internet rabbit hole you go, the less value you find… There are a million web sites on any subject, no matter how useless the topic is. Generally, 10 websites on any genre of life (news, sports, weather, politics, food, religion) is all you need to visit, or else you’ll lose your mind (or your spouse).
Chris Kimball is editor of Cook’s Illustrated and Cook’s County. In my opinion (see what I did there?) America’s Test Kitchen is the best cooking resource around. They test every recipe 70 or 80 times until near-perfection is reached. He is the author of the following quote:
The shuttering of Gourmet reminds us that in a click-or-die advertising marketplace, one ruled by a million instant pundits, where an anonymous Twitter comment might be seen to pack more resonance and useful content than an article that reflects a lifetime of experience, experts are not created from the top down but from the bottom up. They can no longer be coronated; their voices have to be deemed essential to the lives of their customers. That leaves, I think, little room for the thoughtful, considered editorial with which Gourmet delighted its readers for almost seven decades.
To survive, those of us who believe that inexperience rarely leads to wisdom need to swim against the tide, better define our brands, prove our worth, ask to be paid for what we do, and refuse to climb aboard this ship of fools, the one where everyone has an equal voice. Google “broccoli casserole” and make the first recipe you find. I guarantee it will be disappointing. The world needs fewer opinions and more thoughtful expertise — the kind that comes from real experience, the hard-won blood-on-the-floor kind. I like my reporters, my pilots, my pundits, my doctors, my teachers and my cooking instructors to have graduated from the school of hard knocks.
He was discussing the death of Gourmet Magazine. It’s a good article. Check it out.
I love this clip. Louis C.K. is a great comedian, and is speaking some serious truth. We live in blessed times, and in a blessed Country. I sometimes think we misuse our vast wealth for things we don’t need. Countries and Cities do it. Indianapolis figures out how fund an always sold-out stadium that’s a glorified playground for the rich, while Gleaner’s struggles to fill its shelves with food. In our personal lives, we throw out perfectly good TVs to buy “better” TVs. If the cable or internet goes out at home, we are sent into an angered panic at the Comcast gods. The electricity went out at our apartment for 24 hours a couple months ago, and we had absolutely no idea what to do with ourselves.
I am not saying any of these things are bad or good, or sounding any call of action… But personally, I am trying to live a simpler life. I am trying to have some perspective… What are the things I am ignoring for the sake of personal comfort?
By Evan Matthews, a Hoosier Libertarian. Originally posted at LPIN.org.
INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Smoking bans are onerous, misguided and dangerous. As Indianapolis lawmakers debate whether the Circle City requires more stringent smoking legislation, they should stop to consider the economic and realistic implications.
The owner of a private establishment, be it bar, bowling alley or barber shop, should be able to determine whether or not smoking is permissible on their property. Proprietors would display a sign on the door, reading either “Smoking” or “Non-Smoking,” both enforced with vigor. Individuals would then be able to make informed and individual choices, free from government coercion.
About three-fourths of the population are non-smokers. Establishments would be foolish to alienate this huge market. As a result, many will enforce their own bans in order to cater to clientele. Government intervention isn’t needed to create non-smoking environments in private establishments.
One highly visible side effect of smoking bans is their adverse economic effects. A Montreal Economic Institute study examining several Canadian cities concluded that sales at bars and pubs were 22.5% lower than they would have been without the ban. Interestingly, the article adds that the population’s smoking rate remained at 25%, about a fifth above the national average, despite the ban, providing evidence that prohibitive measures do not change smoking habits.
A ban in Dallas prompted a study by two economists from the University of North Texas. They concluded that the ban contributed to an $11.8 million decline in alcohol sales, with restaurants experiencing individual declines of 9 to 50%.
In July, 2003, New York state imposed a ban on smoking in enclosed public places of employment. The year after the ban, the state lost $37 million in gross state product in the bar and tavern industry alone. Also, 2,000 workers lost their jobs, adding up to $28.5 million in lost wages and salary payments.
According to a study by The Economist, the number of pubs closing per week in Britain doubled after a 2007 smoking ban.
In a study analyzing 2,724 pubs in Scotland and England, researchers found that the Scottish smoking ban led a 10% decline in sales and a 14% decline in customers.
Columbia, Mo., enacted a smoking ban in 2007. According to an analysis by Michael R. Pakko, a research officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the legislation is responsible for shocking revenue declines of 6 to 11.5% in bars and alcohol-serving restaurants. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that individual establishments lost up to 30% of total revenue due to the ban. It also caused a 5% sales decline in diners and other restaurants.
In the worst economic climate since the Great Depression, how will our struggling economy benefit by inflicting similar damages on Indianapolis business owners?
But what about the health risks to patrons and employees?
Even the federal government admits that the dangers of secondhand smoke are greatly exaggerated. The United States Occupational Safety and Health Act, designed to enforce safe work environments, determined that the dangers of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) were negligible and are not subject to government interference.
A study published in the British Medical Journal followed 35,500 non-smokers with smoking spouses for 28 years. The long-term study found no causal relationship between second-hand smoke exposure and increased tobacco related mortality, although it conceded that a small effect could not be ruled out.
In 1992, the Environmental Protection Agency issued its influential report, Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking: Lung Cancer and Other Disorders, extolling the dangers of secondhand smoke. A federal judge (Flue-Cured Tobacco Coop. Stabilization Corp. v. U.S. EPA) declared that the EPA “publicly committed to a conclusion before research had begun; excluded industry by violating the Act’s procedural requirements [and] adjusted established procedure and scientific norms to validate the Agency’s public conclusion.” The critique added that the “EPA disregarded information and made findings on selective information; did not disseminate significant epidemiologic information; deviated from its Risk Assessment Guidelines; failed to disclose important findings and reasoning; and left significant questions without answers.”
If secondhand smoke is a real and recognized hazard, the market will adjust and fairly compensate workers who subject themselves to potentially unhealthy environments. The wages of fishermen and loggers are inflated precisely because of the risk that they put themselves in. If smoke exposure is dangerous enough, employers will be forced to increase wages, lest the employees seek greener and safer pastures.
Perhaps worst of all, prohibitive legislation has been shown to increase alcohol-related fatalities. Bans give patrons incentives to drive farther in order to find bars that allow smoking. Studies have shown that smoking bans increase the number of DUI arrests. A June 2008 study published by the Journal of Public Economics examined alcohol-related accidents in neighboring counties where only one enforced a smoking ban. It concluded that towns that enacted smoking bans from 2000 to 2005, on average, enjoyed a 13% increase in drunk driving fatalities the following year. Of particular note, a ban in Boulder, Co., increased fatal accidents in neighboring Jefferson County by more than 40%. When the study analyzed all border counties (where one has a ban and the other does not), it found that alcohol-related accidents increased by nearly 25%.
Smoking bans are heavy-handed attempts to control individual preference and limit choice. As a by-product of this oppressive, one-size-fits-all legislation, local business owners will likely face revenue declines in the tens of millions. Stubborn smokers will travel to neighboring counties, driving business out of Indianapolis in order to drink and smoke in peace. Afterward, they’ll drunkenly swerve their Buicks and Camrys through Circle City streets, recklessly endangering the Marion County populace.
All because adults aren’t trusted to choose smoking or non.
I know it’s a typical postmodern title. I just don’t want to write some sappy tribute that you’ll find on any blog, or write some lyrics by a Country singer. I will certainly pray for all those currently suffering due to that day, and the wars that sprang from it.
For my generation, 9-11 was a day that changed our lives. I was 18, a Senior in high school. That’s a moment when you are questioning your future, and pretty much everything else. If you ask anyone that is 21 to 30 right now, I would imagine every one would say that day changed them in a significant way. First, where I was that day, and then how it changed me.
I was in my first period prep, doing homework, when my teacher ran in, and said a plane had hit. By the time we found a TV, the 2nd had hit. In 2nd period physics, we watched them fall, and screamed. I yelled out that it had to be a bomb. My teacher was a young, sweet woman, and tried to get back to the text. It was a matter of taking our mind off of the sadness. We walked through the halls screaming “War!” (We were 17 year old kids, mind you. A good number of my friends joined in the coming months.) I went to a newspaper that day on a field trip, which was interesting to see.
I went to work that night at Ace Hardware, and we closed early because no one was coming in the store, and we wanted to watch the President. In the coming days, we couldn’t keep an American flag in stock. The supplier didn’t have any to send. It was as if we all were supposed to have a flag on our house, and had been caught without one, and we were ashamed.
After work, and as I couldn’t pull myself from the TV. They said 20,000 people died. I was 18, and had never truly mourned before. I had lost family members, but this was a grief that was different. It was mixed with fear. I sat that day and night watching CNN, and wept.
Young people believe they can change the world, and I was no different. (I still believe this, my scope has just narrowed to my corner of the world.) September 11th made me care about politics. I had always had a feigned interest, but I became deeply involved after that day. I went to IUPUI that next year, and joined the College Republicans, and this has led me to my current career.
I started truly seeking God that day. I wanted answers as to why this would happen. I had grown up in a Methodist Church, but only on Christmas. It was not a devout home. I was at certain points in high school, a practicing Buddhist, a Diest (because I thought that sounded cool), and an avowed atheist.
On September 12th, Plainfield United Methodist Church held a prayer service. I attended. I was broken, scared, and grieving. It was that night I gave my life to Christ. I really know no other details of the service, or why I answered the call. All I remember was that in that service, I felt His presence for the first time, and promised to have faith in something/one that I still do not truly understand.
Please leave in the comment section your story. Where were you, and how did it change you?
I visited the Indy City-County Council meeting this past Tuesday night to hear LPMCer Sean Shepard speak in opposition to higher taxes to fix the CIB mess. At the meeting, the word “bankruptcy” kept coming up… And it really grinds my gears. Bankruptcy is a complicated issue for any business, but when you have a private/public partnership, it makes the scenario almost unworkable because of the addition of politics.
First, the bankruptcy code does not allow the CIB to file for bankruptcy without permission from the state of Indiana. According to the federal judiciary website, Congress created the Municipal Bankruptcy code in 1934 (Chapter 9) and it has been amended several times. There have been less than 500 filings since the law was passed, the most famous being Orange County, California back in the mid 1990s.
However because of separation of powers issues, a municipal bankruptcy does not operate the same way if we filed bankruptcy as individuals. There is no provision for liquidation of assets, distribution of proceeds to the creditors and the 10th Amendment strictly limits the Court’s ability to manage the bankruptcy. More importantly, no municipality can file for bankruptcy without the express authorization of the state government. Under Section 109 of the bankruptcy code, the municipality must be specifically authorized to be a debtor by State law or by a governmental officer or organization empowered by State law to authorize the municipality to be a debtor.
Both the Governor and the Legislative leader made it perfectly clear in the last session of the General Assembly that they were done dealing with the CIB issue. And even if the legislature would take up the issue, state lawmakers would NEVER give the units of local government of Indiana the power to file bankruptcy when property tax caps are going to fully kick in next year and local governments are strapped for cash.
And even in the very unlikely event that the Legislature would authorize the CIB to file for bankruptcy, what impact would that have on current and future events at the Convention Center? Conventions that are slated to come to Indianapolis whether they be Gen-Con or the FFA would now all have an out to break their deals and anyone looking to come to the City would likely bolt. And the convention center business is profitable and unlike the Colts and Pacers brings new dollars to Indianapolis. The Colts and Pacers make up a VERY small portion of revenue compared to many of these conventions. Yes, breaking the deal with the Colts is tempting, but breaking the deal with the FFA is less tempting.
Any solution Libertarians offer to solve the CIB issue must fit within that framework. We still have current restraints because Republicans and Democrats have been building a certain framework within our government.
Bankruptcy is simply not an option for both practical and political reasons. We can advocate privatization, more efficiency and transparency, reform of the CIB and even using corporate and individual sponsorships to underwrite costs are all viable solutions. But advocating a position that is not viable lessens our credibility. It is important that we as Libertarians offer ideas that stay true to our principles of limited government, but are also politically viable and can the public is willing to accept.

Recently the founder of the LP has been chastising the party for not being radical enough. He wrote an open letter to the LNC, which can be read here: http://www.nolanchart.com/article6640.html
Here is my response:
In many respects, I agree wholeheartedly with your letter to the Libertarian National Committee. Far too much time is wasted on small, petty issues within this body. The bickering in the meetings, at the convention, and on internet venues does a great disservice to our effort to recruit new volunteers to organize for liberty. As we stand between the chasm of Republic and Empire, our philosophy and the organizations that spring from it, including this political mechanism called the Libertarian Party, are the last credible defense we have in this struggle. Childish bickering should be set aside, and work should be done.
I do not believe that political theorists and political scientists should be at odds within this party. Without the Statement of Principles, what purpose does a County Chair in Indiana really serve? But without that County Chair, the philosophy sits in a notebook, never to be expressed in a meaningful way. Personally, I am fascinated with the way a grassroots organization is built. I spend my days organizing information to help volunteers work at county fairs, evangelize at tea parties, and yes, work on and win campaigns.
We are a political party, not a think tank. Without the proper application of political science, what is the purpose of this organization? The think tanks such as Mises, Cato, and Reason serve to articulate the philosophy’s view on modern day issues at length. They serve local volunteers with the message. Our political party should serve local volunteers with information on how to organize their community. How does one write a press release? How does one start and run a successful petition drive? How is a Freedom of Information Act filed? How can one effectively lobby an elected official? How does a candidate start a campaign? How do organizations fundraise? How do you buy advertisements for events and candidates? What election laws will put you into prison? Libertarian Parties across this nation should be organizing not only to develop the philosophy, but to effectively spread it!
With all due respect, Mr. Nolan, are you interested in the LP moving in the direction of the think tank, and spending less time on organizing our community? If the Libertarian Party cannot begin to organize at the precinct level, and then the county level, and then the state level, and eventually the national level, then should we end this experiment you began? Our entire organization from the Chairs to the volunteers working booths at a 4h Fairs, tea parties, and parades must not only have a basic, and eventually developed, sense of our basic message and principles, but also the proper way to deliver this message.
Our Libertarian Parties should be functional tools to deliver the message of a radical liberty, personal freedom, and that government is an instrument of force designed to limit our rights. Without basic political science being practiced in this party, we are reduced to 3 people on a corner with bull horns, or worse, sitting in a library, talking to no one. In my view, our county, state, and national business meetings should no longer be philosophical discussions. They should be discussions on upcoming opportunities to make an impact on the local political conversation.
With the proper application of political science, we can have 130 candidates in Indiana walking precincts, and their volunteers walking in townships, door to door, spreading our message. Politics isn’t a dishonorable practice. It is the way you practice it.
Ironically, the Campaign for Liberty was used as an example of where we should go as a party. The C4L was started by a high profile Presidential Candidate with the ability to deliver his message on a much wider platform than our party has access to. This is because Ron Paul has worked to win campaigns, and won them repeatedly. But I believe the biggest reason for its success is not it’s cult of personality, or radicalism… It is that the leadership of C4L gives its membership something to do. They hold petition drives, tea parties, membership drives, fundraise, and walk door to door at the request of leadership both local and national. Radicalism is not the lesson. Action and Leadership are.
Chris Spangle
Executive Director of the Libertarian Party of Indiana
This was heard on Glenn Beck’s show a few days ago, and is fantastic. Please spread it.
I’m a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you’re willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?
Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:
One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I’m not a racist. This isn’t to be confused with legal immigration.
Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.
Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.
Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.
Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don’t you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!
Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don’t you start there.
Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don’t trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.
Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ‑‑ what do you have against shareholders making a profit?
Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.
Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we’ll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band‑Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.
Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let’s have it. Let’s say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ‑‑ please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.
Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.
Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let’s just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I’m busy. I’m busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.
I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.
From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don’t want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we’re morons.
We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we’re so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn’t ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when hewill rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.
Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don’t care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.
