Having young'uns around is great (they don't have jobs, and can spend lots of time on political activism!) ;)

It's good to see young libertarians. A lot of younger people go to college and turn into (brainwashed by professors) marxist big-government liberals. I for one would be very happy to see the trend changing. ;)

I was brainwashed by Ayn Rand lol. I can't wait til the movie Atlas Shrugged comes out. Angelina Jolie is gonna be in it. I think that movie has the power to change our country.

You better believe it.

My nephew is 15 and he spouts Ron Paul to anyone that will listen every
chance he gets.

Hell, I think he would change his name to Ron Paul Jr. if he could. :D

That's what we need though... more ACTIONism.

I know a lot of young folks getting involved. The political IRC channels I frequent are full of people age 16-21 who support libertarian ideals.

My wife just bought Atlas Shrugged but hasn't started it yet. I can't wait for the movie. I need new glasses before i can read the book - it's like 5,000 pages with 4pt typeface lol

Do you know when the movie is due out?

Heh. I too am a 16 year old Randroid (not as much as I used to be actually, more of a Milton Friedman guy now). But I'm pissed because I won't be old enough by the time of the primary.

Sweet. I just realized a few months ago that I would be old enough lol. I hope I can vote in the primaries. I turn 17 next summer.

I can't wait for the Atlas Shrugged film either. It comes out in 2008. Interestingly, so does Buddha, two films advocating very different, but profound philosophies both. I'll go see both, being both a fan of Ayn Rand (even though I never read any of her books, but I plan too) and a former Buddhist.

By the way, I'm 19 here, nice to meet you retro. ;)
