when i was 16 i read The Battle For Your Mind By Dick Sutphen, that made concrete my distrust of Govermnet, 9/11 happened and I got whipped up into a patriotic ferver like most people did, then the Truth Movement and the Investigation came around, and in order to prove or disprove claims by truthers or government officials, I had to do research, thats where i was exposed to a broader more intricate application of Politics, the stuff that you'll never see on the nightly news. Thats when I was first exposed to libertarian ideals. Its been several years since all that transpired now. Dr. Pauls message reached me in late march of last year, and it was a big hit with me because its the libertarian ideals I've come to know and love, packaged and marketed for use by the American consumer.
The short answer, I'm not going anywhere until this platform is inevitably corrupted by moneymen.
