I did. Granted I was not in congress. But at one time I was much the conservative. Until I began to realize that no ones rights outweighed anyone elses rights. And that rights were an individual thing. And it took over 15 years to discover Rand from that point and 3 more from there to discover the LP. It is a long process for some of us. BWS
