Anyhow, the quotes about liberals should make no sense to anyone who's thought seriously about ethics. It's the same world for 20 and 30-year-olds, and if you're willing to flip your philosophy on the basis of a paycheck, you probably haven't thought things through very well. I'll also add that liberals (which I'm not), like conservatives (which I'm not), are traditionally very pro-business and pro-capitalism, so the quotes don't make sense for that reason too. As for the libertarians, they're great -- so long as you're talking about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialists" rel="nofollow">libertarian <b>socialists</b></a>.

Maybe when they get their first paycheck and see how much of the money they have earned is taken away from them at the point of a gun they will wake up. "If you are not a liberal at 20 you have no heart" "If you are a liberal at 30 you have no brain" Actually, folks need to look at the Libertarian Party. And oh by the way, check out the Fair Tax. well it is good that freshman and sophmore students find Ayn so disturbing.

“If you are not a liberal at 20 you have no heart”

Actually, folks need to look at the Libertarian Party. And oh by the way, check out the Fair Tax.

Mon updated the website last in 2000. A quick little search on Google produced <a href="http://pview.findlaw.com/view/3211125_1?noconfirm=0&amp;channel=LP" rel="nofollow">this</a>. So I'm sure if you called him up at his law firm, he could put you in touch with more current members, should they exist. Clearly Gonzalo E. Mon updated the website last in 2000.
