Didn't know much about politics until senior year of high school when our U.S. Government teacher explained the difference to us: Democrats want to help people, Republicans do not. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I became a Democrat.

Freshman year of college, several professors preaching anti-capitalism.

I became a socialist.

Junior year of college, Microeconomics class.

I became a libertarian.

Junior year of college, hearing my friend say that Bin Laden "doesn't believe in government". An intelligent guy not believing in government? Also at this time I started realizing that democracy is not all it's cracked up to be (50.1% of the people can compel the additional 49.9% to pony up a few hundred bucks a year for a public library?).

I became a libertarian with anarchist leanings.

Senior year of college, read "Summerhill", about a "free school" in London where the children are not forced to do anything. This made me realize that since children do not need the strict structure of normal public schools and they do fine without it, adults and society as a whole should do fine without government as well.

I became an anarchist.
