Re: What has influenced you to your current position in politics.
Originally, it was my parents. My parents are conservative christians and own their own business and that led me to despise government regulation. I read Freakonomics and that changed my mind on abortion. I finally realized how wrong it was to force my morality on other people.
Recently this forum has had a huge influence on me. I would consider myself a libertarian, more than anything now. AC is very interesting, but I'm not completely sold on it for various reasons. I think the biggest thing that this forum has taught me is how ignorant I was/am to soooo many things.
Also, I would like to thank PVN, BCPVP, Morobot, Iron, and Borodog for posting interesting topics, and having discussions/debates that I find entertaining and incredibly informative.
