I did some fascinating reading today.  I have long considered myself a moderate republican. Libertarians sort of intrigue me because I have a good friend named, Mike Young, who I know well, is a professed Libertarian and I like a lot of his ideas.  I also know I DON’T like a lot of his ideas.  I had never really researched the Libertarian platform before so I took a moment to check out the information straight from their primary...
