im a 43 year old piece of trailer trash that dropped out of high school.
I’m just an average housewife that loves ecomomics. I spend my free time teaching my son and his friends A.E. The other day my sons friend had a debate with one of his liberal friends and said that economic calculation is impossible in a socialist society. I was so proud.
I would follow up by rewarding them with gold coins for debating, instead of “gold stars” ![]()
I’m a student at the university of texas at austin studying fine arts. I’m also getting my real estate license on the side (so I can make money [:P]). I became an ancap after debating way too much during the Ron Paul campaign. I run my own site (VoluntaryGov.com) and hope to eventually finish writing a book I’m working on. I am addicted to good debates. If I don’t have one regularly, I get withdrawls. [:S]
I’m working on learning to create some educational videos which will simplify libertarian principles and hopefully revolutionize the way people can learn about them. Similar to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw6zv0ntL10 that video, but with a more updated look similar to this one crisisofcredit.com
My viewpoint of government is, if someone wants it, let them have it, just don’t force anyone else to be involved. Essentially I see ‘government’ as something similar to PDA or DRO’s, I just call them Voluntary Governments.
I dream of a world where involuntary, violent governments have been eradicated, and only mutually beneficial transactions are promoted.
Blasphemy!
Sounds like you are very not-average! Being a housewife is a valuable role in the home and for the family.
Aye, I think that “honour” belongs to the liberal arts degree.
Looks like we have a pretty intelligent, successful group of individuals here!
As for me…I’m in my early 20s, completed my BS in advertising just two weeks ago, and am starting my new job (in marketing) in just a couple days.
I’m a young (possibly dumb), adventurous, and self-taught libertarian. I like being provocative and getting people riled up. ![]()
I must say I’m glad to see so many entries!!

I’m NOT successful
i’m 18. i’m starting college at WashU in Saint Louis in the fall. i have no real formal education in economics, psychology, philosophy, or anything important. i have however spend a good deal of time on my own studying many of these topics. i don’t believe in selflessness (im not cynical, but rather try to be objective), dislike democracy (it gives too much power to those who don’t deserve it and not enought to those who do), and would like to see humanity furthered by my own hands. clearly, i’m all smiles.
Hello,
I am a 33 year old former Construction worker…
I say former because I can’t make a living working construction any more, now I wash dishes…
I moved to Florida early 2007 to look for work from NY, where the standing construction wage dropped from $35 an hour when I was a kid to $9 an hour just 2 years ago, granted I could have protected my wages as a Union Worker, but I am morally incapable of belonging to an organization, and would still have to battle the 6 to 8 month unemployment while still being responsible for my dues.
I am here to learn about economics, the science and philosophy, and to interact with better minds than those that which I have been, I prefer the mental challenge
