I can't honestly say you had any part in leading me to an understanding of liberty. I have always been where I am on the subject from my earliest memory. I realized I was alone by the time I was in the third grade more than 50 years ago.
However, I too would like to thank you, because through your good offices and some others with the help of the internet, I realize that I haven't really been alone. I just didn't know there were others like me. And some, such as yourself, quite eloquent.
If not for the internet, all us like-minded people would still think we were isolated hold-outs against tyranny, fighting strictly personal battles.
I thank you for helping me be aware of the community of freemen. Also, I thank you for the work you do that reaches the public through your work as an author. Now, that I know that I can die and not be the last of extinct species, that there are others like you, I hold out good hope for my children's children. I could have saved this for a private email, but didn't want to. You'll just have to live with the mushy sentiment publicly. I wish to see or at least be a part of making thinkers of your caliber role models as opposed to the officially anointed bell sheep the majority currently follow.
Ergo, my decision to say it publicly, I am on record. It is ok for us to publicly declare we are right and we ain't goin' away.
