Michael - I hope we've been around the bend enough times for you to know where I am on all of this (to the best of my ability). I sympathize (and empathize) with the grief you are still going through -- from the misinformed, as well as the dysfunctional, among those in what we euphemistically call "the movement" ...My comment was specific to the implied statement that, "If it's not about Arizona, who cares?" I don't ask anyone (ALP or otherwise) to place the future of the LP high on their priorities (except insofar as it may help in some small way in the fight for Liberty). I was merely commenting on the isolationism in that sentiment.
You still have allies on the "outside" (or "inside" if you prefer that image) ... Please don't let the pain of being vulnerable break off those connections ... Maybe the LP is indeed a dead end, but it may be the cocoon some have to get through before knowing that at a deep enough level to become effective without it. I commend your own 'evolvement' ... and hope my own is taking its own course ...
