He was the Milton Friedman scholar at the Hoover Institute but he didn’t teach classes, basically he was held there to research to his hearts content and that also became the source of his books and how he was able to gather so much data for all the books.

Still boggles my mind that being a student of Friedman didn’t cure him of his Marxism but what did was working for the government

Well there's no substitute for experience. You can tell a child that the stove is hot, but they won't really understand until they touch it with their hand.

It's a pity that it happens to so many adults.

True. When he tells the story it makes me laugh because the look on his face when he explains the shock he felt when he realized the government wasn’t trying to solve anything

I was right wing before I worked for the DoD.

I became an extremist from what I witnessed.

Can’t blame you. In the Air Force I witnessed that you really don’t want the govt to do a lot of things. I would say I have retained my idealism from youth but I understand reality even if I want to see things differently and personally try to make a difference where I can

Oh, you mistake me my friend. While I'm not going to get into specifics, I'll give you a general idea of what I meant.

I did five years active Army and seven as a contractor. I worked for and with numerous agencies and I held more keywords than I have fingers and toes.

I saw, heard, read of, and witnessed things that would convince most people that the government should be destroyed and most of the people in it sealed in a shipping container and dumped into the sea.

To explain my seriousness, all of that would be true, and they would still deserve that punishment... even if fully half the political spectrum of this country wasn't compromised of satanic pedophiles.

They could be completely innocent of crimes against little ones, and never have had a thought of worshipping the dark one, and it would be absolutely necessary to pitylessly destroy them on an industrial scale.

I think I read that in his biography maverick which was pretty well written. But he essentially saw the writing on the wall with students in the 60s and didn’t want to be hamstrung by universities to pass midwits.
