You alluded to this possibility many moons ago on FMMain. I even made reference to your "libertarian gene" theory in some of my own posts there, if you remember. I was more than half serious when I did so.

There was never any conversion with me, only an "awakening" when I first read The Fountainhead as a teenager. The first time I heard Robert Ringer's definition of a libertarian, I knew I was one.

I think you are absolutely right, and I will always feel guilty when I forget to give you credit for the libertarian gene theory when I make reference to it, passing it off as my own.
