I learned about Bastiat, Hayek, Mises, Rothbard, and Ron Paul from my Dad. In one ear and out the other my teen years, but he persisted. Sent the Ron Paul newsletters and the Rothbard-Rockwell Report to my *cough* frat house via snail mail halfway across the country. I didn't care and then I did--a lot. 2nd most important thing he taught me. Very grateful. Passing it on.
