Here is my introduction

[Robert Stempien]

I got into politics when I was in 7th grade the same way most young men do, by copying my fathers beliefs, only, when I asked him if he was a Republican or a Democrat he said, Im a Libertarian. So I decided I too was a Libertarian, it seemed like a philosophy I could get behind, legalize drugs, get rid of gun laws, and shrink taxes and government. My dad is what he calls a "Little-l Libertarian" he felt that taxation is theft but a small amount is a necisary evil, that the free market can handle most things but not things like justice or defense, and that we can only focus on gradual change in the short term. Naturally I agreed with this, until one day, I discovered an essay that would change my life forever, "No Treason, The Constitution of No Athority" by Lysander Spooner. until then I had held firm to Constitutionism, I was sure that if we all agreed to the arbitrary line of permisible government outlined in the Constitution based on "Consent of the Governed" then we would all be fine. No Treason destroyed that notion. Unfortunatily, it took me longer still to be convinced of Voluntarism, it took quite afew individuals works to convince me, Heinlein's "The Moons a Harsh Mistress", Marc Stevens, Murray Rothbard, Walter Block, and of coarse, Stefan. By 9th grade I had realized that the state is just a fiction, just a criminal gang that we all are in an abusive relationship with. I'm now almost 18, and I have a passon for change, to convince people of the abusive relationship we all have with the mafia that calls itself the state.
