[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. [/quote] My god how I loved this book as a teenager. [/quote]In my early 20s I was politically indifferent but after reading Atlas Shrugged, I became staunchly anti-Democrat and voted Libertarian in the next election. When I grew up a bit, I examined Libertarianism more closely and saw in theory it sounded good but was unrealistic. Many people are lazy, self-centered and greedy. They cannot be trusted to maintain properly all the roads, bridges, police and fire departments, the military, and a judicial system to resolve disputes and enforce contracts. I came to the conclusion Libertarianism could only be viable in a state of anarchy or some kind of monarchy where thousands of little kings oversaw their patch of land who maybe would maintain public services or maybe not depending on who ascended the throne. And so, I evolved into a semi-Libertarian Republican. [/quote]
