I think I remember seeing her there. Anyway, props to your friend.

Larry Elder claims he's a libertarian. But he's really a mouthpiece for the republican party. After Sept 11th, his stance on foreign policy became hawkish and started agreeing with Bush on just about everything. He quotes a lot from Milton Friedman too. I've read his "Ten Things You Can't Say in a America". Good book, but his later books I wouldn't even touch.

Politics never seemed to make girls dislike me. Religion on the other hand...

LvMIenthusiast:

An overwhelming proportion of young people are statist baffoons. Yoiu should see some of the shouting matches that erupt in my political science classes. It's pretty intense! I've found that most of the Muslim students there really tend to like me (since there is such a strong anti- Muslim setiment).

To be fair, it's been about 4 years since I've been at high school, and that was in the UK and back then I was a statist but beginning to sympathise with the free market. I think I was lucky to have gone to a grammar school actually, since finding out about the Austrian school, I can realise the wisdom in my old History teacher's cynicism...

My experience may have been quite different to yours. I've found most people to not be particularly passionate about economic or political issues, so essentially you have a minority of passionate interventionists, and a majority of mild statists.

You might find people who are not so passionate easier to convince, or people who are passionate, since at least they seem to care.
