Nice post. I love the image at the top. As a libertarian myself, that's part of my attraction to the site as well, and frankly, politics is all comedy, except that it has tragic consequences far too often.

Now for the critique. You are obvously an accomplished writer, so I'll be careful here. If, without disrupting the flow, you can introduce more white space, and a little more formatting, like bold text, italics and headers, I think it would give your post more energy. You might also consider adding a second image, and a link to at least one of your ideal follower's pieces. Also, a link to dolphinschool was part of the assignment. You can add that at the end if you want to be considered for the revenue split.
