Reading libertarian books won’t make you free.
If you want small government and freedom, you must act.
Not just once. Regularly, repeatedly, relentlessly.
In 1995, I gave speeches at a number of Libertarian Party state conventions. After one of these speeches, a man in his thirties asked me, “Why aren’t there more women here?”
“How many women did you bring?” I asked.
“None,” he said.
“How many women did you invite?” I asked.
“None,” he said.
“How many women did you tell about this Libertarian convention?” I asked.
“None.”
“So, what’s your answer to your question? Why aren’t more women here?”
“Because I didn’t tell them, I didn’t invite them, I didn’t bring them…” he answered.
