How I Became a Libertarian
Although the Skeptics Society is apolitical, Michael Shermer sometimes explores political and economic issues in his personal blog. In some critical comments, Skepticblog readers seem to think that there are two Michael Shermers: Mr. Rational Skeptic and Mr. Kooky Libertarian. In this week’s Skepticblog post, Michael provides some personal background as to how he became a libertarian.
