8. What is a libertarian?
Some say libertarians are "plotting to take over the world and leave you alone."
This 2-minute video from Learn Liberty tells "Free Will and Human Dignity: A Love Story."
"The Conversation" is a 13-minute dramatization from the Foundation for Harmony and Prosperity.
Read this short commentary from Leonard E. Read (written in 1955): "In an ideal America."
Take this short (10 question) online quiz from the Advocates for Self-Government to see if you might have libertarian leanings: “The World’s Smallest Political Quiz.”

“Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it
springs, confuses the distinction between
government and society. As a result of this,
every time we object to a thing being done by
government, the socialists conclude that we
object to its being done at all.”
