I found this article highly enlightening, and also quite surprising in some respects. For instance, I had no idea that political bias has genetic factors.

I am the only libertarian in my family, though, which is now conservative (though my mom was Democratic as we were growing up). I personally campaigned for both Ronald Reagan (1984) and Michael Dukakis (1988) before becoming disillusioned with politics as a whole -- until Ron Paul's campaign in 2008.

It was by listening to him (on any and every subject that I could find) that my political philosophy truly melded with my life philosophy.

By that time, however, I had been living abroad for 17 years already, so I haven't campaigned for the libertarians, but I am active in the Bulgarian Libertarian Society, writing, translating, editing, and publishing (here) articles on Libertarianism, Austrian Economics, and Classical Liberalism in general.

#classicalliberalism101 is my hashtag, if any of you want to join the community.

Thanks for your excellent article. I have followed you and resteemed it.
